Τζιβαέρι - Treasure
from OrientalVibe Hosted by OrientalVibe
This is the first song I release with my own vocals. Instrumentally I got stuck and the song didn't sound good enough to my standards. That's why I decided to sing along. I like to sing, but I have never taken singing lessons. I like it even more when there is a second voice in songs, so I tried that too. The song is a Greek song I think originally by Mariza Koch and originates from the Greek island of Crete. The song is about Greek migrants who have left the home country to find a better life in foreign lands. English lyrics: Ah! foreign lands enjoy my Tzivaeri (my treasure) My fragrant flower , softly, softly, softly and humbly. Ah! it was I who sent him, my Tzivaeri(my treasure), of my own free will; softly, softly, softly I tread the earth. Ah! damn you foreign lands, my Tzivaeri (my treasure), you, and your good things. Softly, softly, softly and humbly. Ah! you took my child, my Tzivaeri and you made him your own; softly, softly, softly I tread the earth. Greek lyrics: Αχ! Η ξενιτειά το χαίρεται Τζιβαέρι μου Το μοσχολούλουδο μου σιγανά και ταπεινά Αχ! Εγώ ήμουνα που το ‘στειλα Τζιβαέρι μου Με θέλημα δικό μου σιγανά πατώ στη γη Αχ! Πανάθεμά σε ξενιτειά Τζιβαέρι μου Εσέ και το καλό σου σιγανά και ταπεινά Αχ! Που πήρες το παιδάκι μου Τζιβαέρι μου και το ‘κανες δικό σου σιγανά πατώ στη γη
