Hello! I added this discussion because of Modaway's idea to post a song from our country and translate the words in English.

This song is very successful and loved by people here in Greece. The singers, Eleonora Zouganeli and Kostas Livadas, are very notable artists. They write and sing quality songs and it worths to go and see them to sing.

Here is the linκ with the song:

And here are the lyrics in English:

Your persistence

If there is something that won me over in you,
something that knew how to surpass me,
it is your this persistence, my love.
A love that learned how not to give up.

If there is something that told me to choose,
it ιs neither your words nor your beauty.
But your thιs wonderful, crazy persistence,
that it is a pity for us to live apart.

Oh, if only you knew what strength that your strength gives me,
when you say that everything will be ok and I hear your voice.
When you say that everything will be ok and I hear your voice,
oh, if only you knew what strength that your strength gives me.

If there is something that kept me away from foreign lands,
it is this light that doesn't exist in other land.
And this same persistence of you, my love,
to share these clouds together,
to share this sea together.

Oh, if only you knew what strength that your strength gives me,
when you say that everything will be ok and I hear your voice.
When you say that everything will be ok and I hear your voice,
oh, if only you knew what strength that your strength gives me.

If only you knew how much your endless sweetness attracts me,
tο walk by your side with courage in life.
This endless thirst of you for the unknown of life,
if only you knew and could imagine what it has given me.
My crazy love, don't ever get tired of longing for me.

When you say that everything will be ok and I hear your voice,
oh, if only you knew what strength that your strength gives me.

Your persistence...

  • Thanks Modaway!

  • Danny what do you mean when you say that such music being this summer in my country? Greek music has its own roots and in some big part it has been influenced by Turkish music because Greece was under the Turkish regime for 400 years. Turks and Greeks were living together and we got some things from them and they got some things from us in music, foods, and other things. And in some big part, yes, it has been influenced by Arabian music and this is the belly dance music. Demis Roussos was very famous, no doubt that you know him.

    • Hello Danny, sorry for my late reply. No, don't apologize, i didn't understand but now understand what you wanted to say. I think this happens in other countries too, i don't know. But maybe in Greece is a little more obvious. I am sorry, but i don't have much knowledge about this topic to answer you. Thanks for your beautiful comment and picture :)

  • Thank you Sarojini!
