The aged men Poetry: Giannis Ritsos Music: Thanos Mikroutsicos Main vocals: Maria Dimitriadi from the album Cantata for Makronissos ... and they now sit here in Makronissos at the opening of the tent facing the sea like stone lions at the entrence of night with the nails planted deep in the stone they do not speak they look far at the skylight of Athens they look at the river Jordan holding firmly a stone in their earthy hand holding firmly, in their eyes, the bullets of the stars holding firmly, in their heatleave, a loud silence that silence before the thunder next to their eyes they have a little tree of goodness inbetween their eyebows, an eagle of strength and a mule of anger in their heart that cannot bear injustice |
Fed up of them Poetry: Wolf Biermann Music: Thanos Mikroutsicos Vocals: Maria Dimitriadi Fed up of those fridgid wemen carressing me those pseudo-friends that flatter me those who demand braveness and, themselves, always dirty their underpants in that town split in two I am fed up of them |
Ballad of the Revolt Lyrics: Fuenteovejuna by Lope de Vega Music: Thanos Mikroutsicos Vocals: Maria Dimitriadi Music for the 70's performance of the National Theater of Northern Greece, Thessaloniki. Large river orverflown the anger of the people flows over the fields who can stop it? who can stop it? who, who can stop it? Valley of Funteovejuna the hand that sowed you now holds the thunder who can stop it? who can stop it? who, who can stop it? Centuries kneed by the bitterness the soul of the people now grows wings and flies who can stop it? who can stop it? who, who can stop it? |
