Publié le 15 Septembre 2011

 

In answer to the poem and song by Irene PAPPAS Saranta Pallikaria set to music by Vangelis…

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa sing

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa sing

For the women of Lebadia

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa dance

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa dance

For the women of Lebadia

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa sing

For the women of Lebadia

But the women of Lebadia

Can’t hear them

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa dance

For the women of Lebadia

But the women of Lebadia

Can’t see them

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa sing

For the women of Lebadia

Who only have boys

While the mothers of Tropolitsa

Only have girls

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

In the prime of life

Dressed and head dressed

Their tanned skin golden brown in the sun

One fine summer morning

The girls of Tropolitsa dance

For the women of Lebadia

Who only have boys

While the mothers of Tropolitsa

Only have girls

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

Are beautiful

But the mothers of Lebadia

Can’t see them

For the walls of Lebadia are too high

 

The men of Lebadia

When they see them arm down

And surrender

For the men of Lebadia

Love the girls of Tropolitsa

 

The girls of Tropolitsa

Are more and more beautiful

But the mothers of Lebadia

Can’t hear them

For the town of Lebadia is too far

 

The men of Lebadia

When they see them arm down

And surrender

For the men of Lebadia

Love the girls of Tropolitsa
