lyrics

το Αμπελοπούλι του

Στα όνειρά μου ερχότανε
συνέχεια και ζητούσε
Ερχόταν η αγάπη μου και με παρακαλούσε
Τα πόδια μου ελύγισαν και τα φτερά μου πάνε
Την ξόβεργα επάτησα
Αχ, θεέ μου θα με φάνε
Τώρα πάνω στην ξόβεργα,
το λέω το φωνάζω:
Είμαι το Αμπελοπούλι του
και βαριαναστενάζω

Την τύχη μου την έκανα στην ξόβεργα επάνω
Λεφτά πολλά και αργυρά δικά μου θα γεννούνε
Οι μπάτσοι αν δεν με δούνε
Και τώρα που σε έπιασα
απ' το χρυσό φτερό σου
Είσαι το Αμπελοπούλι μου
και ήρθε ο καιρός σου

Τη θάλασσα την άπειρη επέρασα ζητώντας
Τροφή και σπίτι ψάχνωντας,
τη ξόβεργα κοιτώντας

Τα όνειρά του άκουσα:
η αγάπη τον καλούσε
Η αγάπη του τον φώναζε
και τον αναζητούσε

To Ampelopouli Tou

She used to come in my dreams
she kept asking for me
My love was begging me
My legs got weak and my wings stopped
I stepped on it
Oh my god they're going to eat me
Now stuck on the overhang,
I say it, I shout it:
I am his Ampelopouli
and I sigh heavily

I made my luck with this birdlime
A lot of money will be mine
If the cops don't spot me
And now that I have caught him by his golden wing
I tell you:
You are my Ampelopouli
and your time has come

I crossed the infinite sea, asking
Searching for food and a home,
When my eyes landed on the limed twigs

Eavesdropping in his dreams: his love was calling him
His love was calling him, looking for him

about

Orkestar Kriminal Montreal, Québec

Along with their Yiddish gangster repertoire, Orkestar Kriminal has absorbed the Rebetika Mortika hash den anthems of the 1930s Greek underground. They can also be found performing in Khmer, Spanish, Danish, Romani, Ladino, Russian, Vietnamese, Hebrew or whatever other tongue might attract them. So long as the tune is catchy and a little shady, they'll give it their best shot! ... more
