"Ksenitia tou erota" by Giorgos Kalogirou : translation ?

Hi there,

I've got this translitteration of Kalogirou's song Ksenitia tou erota (ξενiτιά του έρωτα)
Can anyone help me translate it ? Unfortunately I kdon't know a word of Greek.
Thanks in advance,

Pano stou kivr aman aman
Pano stou kikkou ta vouna
Pano stou kikkou ta vouna
Pefti omixli xamila
Kai enas aetos vre aman aman
K’ enas aetos psaxni na vri
K’ enas aetos psaxni na vri
Neraki krio gia na piei
Vriski ena pefko aman aman
Vriski ena pefko monaxo
Vriski ena pefko monaxo
Marazomeno apto kero
Dipsa ki riza aman aman
Dipsa ki riza tou na piei
Dipsa ki riza tou na piei
Neraki krio apti pigi
Sena kladi tou aman aman
Sena kladi tou xamila
Sena kladi tou xamila
Stekei o aetos ke to rota
Pios afentevi aman aman
Pios afentevi tin pigi
Pios afentevi tin pigi
Ke den vgeni nero na piei
Tou erota vre aman aman
Tou erota ini pigi
Tou erota ini pigi
Ke apto kaimo tou karteri
Na rthi apti mavri aman aman
Na rthi apti mavri ksenitia
Na rthi apti mavri ksenitia
I omorfi i korasa
Na vri to niovri aman aman (x3)
Na vri to nio pou karteri
Na vri to nio pou karteri
Ke apto fevgio tis pia den zei
Ke apti pigi vre aman aman
Ke apti pigi na pioun ksana
Ke apti pigi na pioun ksana
N’anthisoun pali ta vouna

First of all welcome to greek section of ATL.




I feel so grateful to you annette-bzh

Because of your post I discovered THIS DIAMOND ....

How wonderful is our monophonic tradition .....
I almost cried while Ι was hearing this.

So to answer to your request, somewhere on the comments of the above video there are already 3 translation attempts.
I chose the one I found closer to my taste created by youtube user " Kostas Mavraganis"

Btw Κύκκος is a mountain in Cyprus

So here we go (copied from youtube)

Πάνω στου Κυ- βρε αμάν αμάν / On Kuk - vre man aman
Πάνω στου Κύκκου τα βουνά / On the Mountain of Kukkos
Πάνω στου Κύκκου τα βουνά / On the Mountain of Kukkos
Πέφτει ομίχλη χαμηλά / the fog lays low (simili)

Κι ένας αητός ψάχνει να βρει / And an eagle is looking for
Νεράκι κρύο για να πιει / some cold water to drink
Βρίσκει ένα πευκό μοναχό / He finds a lonely pine tree
Μαραζωμένο απ’τον καιρό / withered by the passage of time
Διψά κι η ρίζα του να πιει / Its root is thirsty to drink
Νεράκι κρύο απ΄την πηγή / some cold water from the spring

Σ’ ένα κλαδί του χαμηλά / On one of its lower branches
Στέκει ο αητός και τον ρωτά / The eagle stands and asks
"Ποιος αφεντεύει την πηγή / "Who is the master of the spring?
Και δεν κραίνει νερό να πιεις" / and doesn't let you drink water?"

"Του Έρωτα είν’η πηγή / "The spring belongs to the god Eros (Love)
Κι απ΄τον καημό του καρτερεί/ who is painfully waiting
Να’ρθει απ΄τη "μαύρη" ξενητειά / The return from the "vile" foreign lands
Η όμορφη η κορασά / of the beautiful girl

Να ‘βρεί το νιο που καρτερεί / So that she can find the handsome lad who is waiting
Κι απ’ το φευγιό της πια δε ζει / and due to her leaving he is now hardly living
Κι απ΄την πηγή να πιουν ξανά / And from the Spring they will drink again
Ν’ ανθίσουν πάλι τα βουνά" / and the flora on the mountains will blossom once more".

Ps. Has Nolwenn Leroy produced another celtic-folk song like "Tri Martolod" recently?

Hello Amethystos,

Thanks you so much for this translation ! Yes, the version by Amalgamation choir is sooo beautiful, I love it too.
Thank you also for the info about the mountain. I went to Cyprus last year, what a beautiful country !

Nolwenn Leroy : well, I think she only release one breton album, I don't really know what she's doing now.

Thanks again, a lot ! (sorry not to have found this translation myself, I don't really read youtube comments)
