Στίχοι: Θανάσης
Παπακωνσταντίνου
Μουσική: Θανάσης
Παπακωνσταντίνου

Ερμηνεια: Διονύσης Σαββόπουλος

Στου Ασπρομόντε τις πλαγιές και
στο χωριό Ροχούδι
μέσα από τα χαλάσματα ακούγεται
τραγούδι
αν πλησιάσεις θα τους δεις,
μαέστροι αποθαμένοι
πίνουν ομίχλη για κρασί, σου
μοιάζουν μεθυσμένοι.

Λαριόλα ριόλα λα, Λαριόλα λέο
Λαριόλα ριόλα λα, Λαριόλα λα.

Κιθάρα παίζει ο De André με πεταχτά
ακόρντα
κι ο Pirandello λάμπει δες στου
σαρκασμού τα δόντια
ο Cesare απόμακρος βαρύ τσιγάρο
στρίβει
όλα τα πάθη του έριξε σε πέτρινο
λιοτρίβι.

Λαριόλα ριόλα λα, Λαριόλα λέο
Λαριόλα ριόλα λα, Λαριόλα λα.

Αέρας παίρνει τον αχό και
γρήγορα τα νέα
φτάνουν στου Βούα το γιαλό και
στην Αμεντολέα
θα 'ρθουν οι συβαρίτισσες κι
αυτές ξετρελαμένες
φτεροκοπάνε, φτάνουνε γυμνές και
μυρωμένες.

Λαριόλα ριόλα λα, Λαριόλα λέο
Λαριόλα ριόλα λα, Λαριόλα λα.

Κι ένας βοσκός αμέριμνος που
πρόβατα γκρεκίζει
"Madonna mia" μουρμουρά το δρόμο
συνεχίζει
δεν ξέρει από ρήγματα, δεν βλέπει
εφιάλτες
κι ούτε γνωρίζει πως κρατά όλη
την γη στις πλάτες.

Translation:

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast

And she said:

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

... etc ... 


😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁


IMO, definitely channeling Men At Work's Down Under (1981).

That's world music alright.  Cat Stevens Fiddles on the Roof.  And he's certainly an RP candidate for Best Name of Act or Artist

Google Translate says: 

In Aspromonte the slopes and
in the village of Rohoudi
through the ruins is heard
song
if you approach you will see them,
conductors stored
they drink fog for wine, you
they look drunk.

Lariola riola la, Lariola leo
Lariola riola la, Lariola la.

De André plays guitar with throws
chords
and Pirandello shines, look at him
sarcasm the teeth
Cesare a distant heavy cigarette
turns
all his passions cast on stone
λιοτρίβι.

Lariola riola la, Lariola leo
Lariola riola la, Lariola la.


Wind takes over
fast news
they reach Boa the shore and
in Amentolea
the syvaritisses will come too
they are crazy
they flutter, they arrive naked and
scented.

Lariola riola la, Lariola leo
Lariola riola la, Lariola la.

And a carefree shepherd who
sheep snorts
"Madonna mia" murmurs the street
continues
does not know from cracks, does not see
nightmares
nor does he know that it lasts all
the earth on the backs.

The first part of this song sounds very Zappa to me!!

Never knew 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover and Down Under sounded so similar til I heard a Greek man cover the one and make me think it was the other!


edit: oh, you guys tricked me!

I confess that I fell for this and put it in a translator to confirm.  You got me.

Maybe you should try to add a little milk to your tea - makes more of a difference than sugar or no sugar.

Awesome, awesome.  The leading "YUM-dum deedle-deedle" had me hooked immediately.

I really enjoyed listening to this!

Because I didn't listen too closely to language, it was nice wondering where a combination of these instruments might be from. I honestly don't know much Greek music and this is exactly what I come to RP for!

I agree. I just wanted to be the first one to review the song. While I stand by my first impression, I would never discourage Bill from pushing the boundaries.

lol. 
While I was proud to be the first to review this song, you may be the first to have paid money to hear it. Regardless, enjoy.

I disagree with @Ipse_Dixit!  I give it an '8' and I cared enough  to click over to Amazon, where I was arsed to plunk down $45 for the CD! 
EDIT: Wow - the ratings distribution really filled in fast!  I only saw two bars when I started my comment!

As we are inclined to do these days..I choose to disagree.  Feel like I am watching a muppet show though. Yep toe tapping good stuff !

Not that bad and lively - would be a good fit for the Eclectic/World Mix.

Thanks for playing this - I love hearing music  that I wouldn't normally hear if I was too far up my own ass on Spotify or Pandora or whatever.
