Lyre ‘n’ Rhapsody – Oson Zeis
​

​

Lyrics & translation​

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ xρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ


While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and time demands an end.

​

Back from vacation and we feel the post-travel depression hitting us already, so we are gonna deal with it, with some relaxing folk music from ancient Greece. For this edition, Attica is proud to present you, a very old musical masterpiece. "Oson zeis", or as it is widely known as "Seikilos Epitaph" is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world, dated around 200BC. The song was found engraved on a tombstone in the hellenistic town of Tralles, near Aydin of Turkey and is dedicated from Seikilos to Euterpe, which is believed to be probably his wife or mother (Euterpe is also the muse of music, according to greek mythology).
I really hope you are going to appreciate this little gem as much as i do! ​

Monsieur Minimal - Never Give It Up

​

Lyrics​

If i could ever built a world for you
this would be our heaven
and if could ever choose to be born again
this would be in your heart

cause today i found a really magic place
a place that i remember
where a boy meets love for the first time
the love of his life

i see the fire in the sky
every night i am dreaming
i feel the fire in my heart
every night is getting stronger


well i don't want to grow old
unless i grow old with you
and i don't want to stay at home
my home is with you

all i want to do is to find
find the way to your heart
cause you,you,you are my god
and i am your son

i hear the sirens at nights
every night i'm missing
missing your tender smile
this is worst than dying

we should not
we should not
we should never give it up

Cyanna Mercury ☿ There Will Be A Time





Lyrics

There will be a Light - so bright
That everyone will see
Everyone will see everything
Everything

There will be a Night - so dark
That everyone will sleep
Everyone will sleep peacefully

There will be a breeze so cool
That everyone will feel
Everyone will feel everything
Everything

There will be a Time so high
That everyone will dream
Everyone will dream blissfully

All of this not now but after
All of this not here but somewhere
Not in this land
Not in this life but later, later

It takes time it’s alright
It takes time it’s alright
Later, later

Katerina Stanissi and Lana Del Rey - Salvatώre




For this edition Attica is sending a lovely humoristic entry. The surprising duet “Salvatώre” (with the greek letter “omega”, replacing “o”) between the American pop star Lana del Rey and the famous Greek folk singer Katerina Stanissi, is nothing else than a part of the graduation project of the Athens School of Fine Arts’ student, Lida Stamou. As she said, her purpose was to bring together her 2 favorite singers and unite the completely different music worlds they represent. Katerina doesn’t speak a word of English (thus the funny pronunciation) and her voice is obviously too husky for a song like this, yet she was not afraid to expose herself and she immediately said “yes” to Lida’s request. The shooting and recording were done raw (and unfortunately not in a “professional” way at a studio, due to lack of money), spontaneous and with much love.
The video became viral in Greece, with Katerina stating in one of her interviews ; “I did not know her (Lana) but it seems like we have more in common than I initially thought” #Goddess
Do I need to say that Lida’s work got an “A” from her teachers?

Nefeli Walking Undercover –To Re Kai To Mi Ap’ Tin Iremia




Lyrics & translation

Το Ρε Και Το Μι Απ’Την Ηρεμία.

Στο τετράγωνο σπίτι δε φτάνει το φως
μόνο ο λύκος ουρλιάζει αλυχτάει σιωπηλός
σου χαιδεύει τα μάτια σε γδέρνει τυφλός
κι ο αέρας αδειάζει αδειάζεις σκυφτός
Στο τετράγωνο σπίτι αγκαλιάζεις κορμιά
μα τα μάτια σου ψάχνουν το λύκο μακριά
να φυλάει τις ανάσες να μη σ' ακουμπάν
και στ' αστέρια χιμάει λευκή παγωνιά
Στο μικρό στο μεγάλο εδώ θα ακούς το ρε το μι απ' την ηρεμία

Στο τετράγωνο σπίτι η μόνη φωνή
κατοικεί σε μια τρύπα στενή φυλακή
τρώει τη σάρκα της πίνει απ' την άδεια πληγή
και θρηνεί με καημό το χαμένο παιδί
Μα η αλύτρωτη φλόγα φωλιάζει βαθιά
μες στα μάτια τα μέσα τα άγρια πουλιά
και ακούω στο μικρό στο μεγάλο εδώ
το ρε και το μι απ' την ηρεμία
Άιντε δεν μαραίνεται
μον’ πικραίνεται
και βαράει στα στήθια
Κλαίει αχ και ματώνει βρε
μα δε μένει ορέ
αχ στιγμή στα δίχτυα


Re And Mi Through Silence

There is no light in the square house
only the wolf crying and howling in the silence
it strokes your eyes and then flays you blindly
and the air is empty, you’re empty and bent too.
In the square house you embrace the bodies
but your eyes look afar for the wolf
to keep the breaths away from touching you
while the white frost tears into the stars.

In the small and the big “here” you’ll be hearing the re and mi through silence.

In the square house the only existing voice
resides in a hole like a narrow prison
eats its own flesh, drinks from the open wound
and it bitterly mourns its lost child
But the unredeemed flame nests deeply
in my eyes and my insides like the wild birds
and I hear in the small and the big “here”
the re and mi through silence

It never withers
but it gets sore
and it hits me hard in the breasts.
It cries, oh and it bleeds
but it doesn’t stay for a single moment
in the nets.

The greek word ηρεμία (iremia) stands for "silence" and contains the syllables "re" and "mi".

Nefeli Liouta, or as she is more known by her stage name, “Nefeli Walking Undercover” is Attica’s representative for the 87th edition. Hugely talented and multitasking, the 27 yo Nefeli is an Athens Law School graduate, a violin teacher, she makes and produces her own music and she is also a writer of children novels.
Her song “To Re Kai To Mi Ap’ Tin Iremia”, is included in her first and most “personal” album “Ta molyvia komandos” (trnsl. “The commando-pencils”), a unique piece of art, that I suggest you to discover. Nefeli’s style is mostly described as “experimental-folk”. In the instrumentation of her songs, she uses apart from regular instruments (violin, acoustic guitar and tambourine) natural and raw sounds, such as clapping, hitting of hands on wooden tables, iron closets, plastic washing bowls and steps on the floor. As for her lyrics’ style it’s rather poetic, a bit dark maybe, but full of sensitivity.
I really hope you will love this little amazing song as much as I do. ​

Eteronimisi feat. Gianna Vasileiou - Gorgones




Translation

Mermaids

Mermaids swim in my dreams
and i'm a boat on the seashore
i cannot get enough of watching them
but i'm unable to touch them

The sea of love is drowning us
the same sea is giving birth to us
i cannot find my way anymore
i'm not finding vindication anywhere

There will be a night i will sail
for a faraway land
in the ship of the horse
we shall meet you and i

Leon Of Athens feat. Fonές - Aeroplane

​

Lyrics

Modern love
is an exchange
Our young hearts
in close range

No light shines
in this age
Your love
is my cage

I better start,I better start running
even if I can't escape
your love is like an aeroplane
going down then flying high
you take me for a ride

Modern love
is to calculate
Be the first to hit
or you fall in vain

No light shines
these dark days
Your love
is my cage

I better start,I better start running
even if I can't escape
Your love is like an aeroplane
going down then flying high
you take me for a ride

Here I am
still breathing
in open fields I breath

I better start,I better start running
even if I can't escape
Your love is like an aeroplane
going down then flying high
you take me for a ride

​

So...this is my last entry for Attica *cries in attican dialect*. For this edition i decided to go indie-pop. Leon Of Athens officially becomes the first (and probably last ) artist who has competed more than twice. Generally, I don't like to overuse singers (although 3 participations in a time span of 5 years seems reasonable) but the reason why i wanted to say "goodbye"
to my beloved region with this song is because Leon is an artist who totally deserves another chance as he had been terribly underappreciated in his previous two attempts. Furthermore, the song's lyrics totally represent my current mood, so i wanted to share it with you, WV people!
Leon, however, is not the only returning artist for Attica in this edition. "Mantissa", Marina Satti is also making a comeback, but this time, as the conductor of the girls' choir!
Hope you enjoy this amazing little song! ​

Re: ATTICA WV 89 | Leon Of Athens feat. Fonές - Aeroplane

Thank you so much for the 14th place in the final.
However, everything comes to an end at some point. My journey with Attica stops here! From now on i'll be seeing you in the greek thread!
Thank you for all the memories my beloved region, you will always hold a special place in my heart! ​

Re: ATTICA - Goodbye and thank you!

Oh Gosh, I thought you were leaving and I was about to sue you! I've enjoyed many of your entries, I don't keep a record of my voting through the years but surely you might be in my top overall. Good luck with Greece!!!... it'll be strange not seeing the glorious Attica flag though

 

[Stargazer]

Re: ATTICA - Goodbye and thank you!

Good luck with indeed! But seeing you without will be so strange. Especially if at some point somebody else comes along and takes it. You'll secretly forever be to me.

 

[daniels1000]

I fell in love with this... the song and the video are so wonderful and heartwarming

Somehow I've got a soft spot for this version even though of course the church sessions were amazing too Maybe you would have been my 10 points now

I am looking forward to see what you do with , good luck

 

[Nicholas123]

Thnx Daniel! Truth is that i could not decide between the studio version and the church one. I went for the latter cause i am a sucker for good live performances, especially when they are atmospheric and warm...Whether i did the right thing or not, it's something i'll never find out...

 

[Nicholas123]

Brace yourselves, ladies.​

 

[Seok-jin]

Welcome back and good luck!
