We played this very clip today for my mom's funeral in New Orleans. This was her favorite song she used to sing this to us when we were kids and then would sing along to it when we were in the car riding together and we played it for her every night up until the end. She was from Rhodes, Greece. Sagapou momma we will love you and miss you everyday!!! ♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏 🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷♥️
@@robertogaudencioherreramen9005 From my window, I send off one, two and three and four kisses that reach the harbour (as though) one and two and three and four birds How I wished I had one and two and three and four children once they would all grow up to become "dashing" lads, for Piraeus's sake No matter how long I search, I cannot find another harbour to make me "wild" over, as much as the Piraeus where, as soon as night falls, (it) pours out "songs" for me and its "pen-sketches" changes, gets filled up with children As soon as I walk out my door there's noone I would not "love" and as I go to sleep at night I know that, I know that I will be dreaming of him (/her) Gems, on the neck I set and a bead (as a) charm for at night I await, as I go out to the harbour a certain "stranger" to find
Ich war eine sehr junge Frau als der Film ins Kino kam und zu dieser Szene alle Griechen (fast der ganze Saal 😊) aufspringen, mitsingen und tanzten. Jetzt bin 80 Jahre alt, aber ich habe es nie vergessen. Es war für mich der Inbegriff für Sehnsucht und Heimweh
Awwnn, qué adorable ver esta interacción. Me recuerda a las anécdotas de mi padre, él, cuando trabajaba en USA, conoció a un trabajador griego, se hicieron amigos y le platicaba muchas cosas. Tristemente no supe más de él, y mi papá ya murió.
I'm Serbian soul living in England almost all my life. This song reminds me of my youth and I always cry when I hear this beautiful song. God bless Greece 🇬🇷 and Serbia 🇷🇸. I love them both with all my heart ❤️
"Never on Sunday", also known by its original Greek title "Ta Pediá tou Pireá" ("Τα Παιδιά του Πειραιά", The Children of Piraeus), is a popular song written by Manos Hatzidakis[1] and first sung by Melina Mercouri in the film of same name, directed by Jules Dassin and starring Mercouri.[1] The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1960, a first for a foreign-language picture.[3] The film score to the movie was first released on 1 October 1960 by United Artists Records.[2] The song has since been recorded by numerous artists, and has gained various degrees of success throughout the world. So the original version is the Greek. Thanks from Greece for your comment
I spent my youth age in Greece, used to listen this songs in year ,1990-1994. I stayed in Nea Ionia, Athens. I am Kurdish and I love Greek people and love Greece.
I’m Greek but I was born and raised in Canada. I never felt a part of my culture, I never visited the country and I barely know the language. Listening to this now, I have tears in my eyes.
Ich liebe dieses Lied von Ihr! Der Film Sonntags nie, wird viel zu selten gezeigt! Großartige Musik, großartige Schauspieler! Einfach nur Großartig! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

"Децата на Пирея" Прекрасна песен, макар и малко тъжна. Знаехме я и тук, в България! Често я пущаха по радиото. А и по това време много гърци емигрираха тук, в нашата страна. Имаше такива и в моят роден град Нова Загора. Едно такова гръцко семейство живееше на нашата улица. Дъщеря им беше 1-2 години по- малка от мен и ние двете се бяхме сприятелили. Играехме, разхождахме се, забавлявахме се, смеехме се. Не зная как сме си говорили, тъй като тя беше гъркиня, а аз българка и говорехме на два различни езици, но явно някакси сме се разбирали. Тя се казваше Роза и беше много хубаво момиче с красиво бяло лице, с тъмно кафяви очи и с абаносово черна, лъскава коса, дълга до раменете й и с цял прав бретон на челото й. Сега, като си затворя очите, сякаш я виждам в цялата й гръцка хубост! Тогава, след като тази хунта в Гърция бе премахната, семейството на това хубаво момиче, се прибра в родната си страна. Тъгувах за Роза, но се и радвах за нея и семейството й за това, че са си отишли у дома. 🤔
While Never on Sunday was playing in NY, live..not the movie, I was so fortunate to see her live. Orson Bean played the male role and in a scene where he was supposed to come in thru a window, he did and knocked the set over. She did not miss a beat and the show went on. I have every album she has recorded and now I am collecting cd's of her music. I still miss her. What a talent!!!!!
Viví en Grecia, soy de Chile, pero soý una ciudadana del mundo. Me encanta el mediterraneo, Italia, Grecia, España,. Me encantan los idiomas, milao ta ellinika,gallika, itallika, spanika, anglika, danika, kai portogalika.
Είναι απίστευτο πως μπορείς να δείξεις σε ταινία πόρνη που τραγουδάει για τη δουλειά της δίχως ίχνος φτήνιας, χυδαιότητας και να το κάνει ποίηση. Α-π-ί-σ-τ-ε-υ-τ-ο.
Η ψυχή σας, η καλοσύνη σας, η προσωπικότητά σας, η τέχνη σας και η ανθρωπότητά σας ήταν μοναδικά. Οι άνθρωποι σαν εσάς είναι σπάνιοι στον κόσμο. Μου αρέσει η τέχνη και ο ήχος. Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ Μελίνα. Shams από το Αφγανιστάν
When I was younger my mother adored this film because it reminded her of the beauty of her homeland Greece and would watch it often as would I. Now she's gone but the memories of the movie and this beautiful song live on. Typing this through tears, I still recall the beauty of my childhood and my lovely mum. Sa ahapo akomee, manoola mou..... Forever. Never on a Sunday......
The portrait that she looks at the beginning and singing to it is the legendary players of Olympiacos Pireaus, my team the greatest team in the world. Greece need a woman like Melina now.
Καλοκαίρι στη Βαρκελώνη...Διαδρομή με μετρό και ένας τυπάκος μπαίνει και αρχίζει το cd player του να παίζει αυτό το τραγούδι και να το συνοδεύει με το βιολί του.Γύρω Γερμανο-Αγγλο-Αμερικάνοι αδιάφοροι και η δικιά μας η καρδιά να χτυπαέι με 1000... Όπου και να πάμε πάντα κάτι θα θυμίζει την Ελλάδα μας...
Είχα πάει πριν ένα μήνα Βουδαπέστη στο New York Cafe το καλύτερο της πόλης.Ειχε ζωντανή μουσική όταν είπα στον Βιολιτζη αν ξέρει να παίξει κάτι ελληνικό έπαιξε αυτό το κομμάτι!!!Οι ξένοι αταραχοι έπιναν καφέ όσο εγώ τραγουδούσα συγκινημένος!!!
Κανονικά αυτό το τραγούδι είναι γνωστό στον Αγγλόφωνο κόσμο ως Never on Sunday ενώ στις Γερμανόφωνες χώρες είναι γνωστό ως Ein Schiff wird kommen μπορει αυτοί οι αγγλογερμανοι να το άκουγαν πρώτη φορά. Επίσης ωραίο το σχόλιο σου 😊😊
My grandmother used to sing me this song and it fills me with such joy whenever I hear the words or the tune. It is amazing what you can find on the internet and all I did was type in a few of the words from the chorus! Wonderful!
Mine too!! That is how I got confirmation of my Greek heritage ( I later took 3 DNA tests which proved right) My mom, turns out silenced my grandmother and instead told me that I'm half Italian and Turkish. My mom was born in Italy but is actually Greek. My grandmother still expressed our Greek heritage in ways such as singing this song and hanging blue and white Christmas lights. My mom must have done this to keep my nationalistic turkish dad happy.... I can't think otherwise why she would hide my Greek heritage 🇬🇷❤
@@graceaxisa4213 thank you 😊😢 even after 39 I am learning the truth. The sad thing though is my first DNA was in 2021 and when it showed 30% Aegean Islands, I asked my mom. She said, "unless it's done by a doctor, don't believe it" So I listened to her but re-did two more tests this year; they all show Greek as primary. My mom is upset with me for looking into my heritage!
This song is both sad and wonderful because it conjures images of a lovely woman like Melina who is both so full of life and yet so lonely looking for true love.
I remember this song from my childhood when we used to play a record with Greek songs at home,a really marvellous song and singer,Greeks should be proud of Melina Mercouri and all the things she has done for the her country.
This song "The Children of Piraeus" written by Manos Xatzidakis won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1960 and Melina Mercouri won the award for Best Actress at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival for the movie "Never on Sunday"..
It's so happened, I have got my first kiss from a girl with that song. It was a warm fragrant summer evening on our Bulgarian sea resort of Nessebar. We were sitting with her in a boat on the shore and the casino orchestra against us was performing just that song. So, I was surprisingly kissed. It was long time ago, but I will never forget it. That's why I love that song.
I were in Nesebar one summer. Knowing how romantic and beautiful place it is, your story sounds like movie scene. Hope to get there again, soon! Greetings from Belgrade!
An awesome demonstrantion of greatness from Greece! You know, I live in this country for over 5 years and I can't speak their language, but I love it so much! :,D
I love music from the debts of the heart, as to things that are special, to the singer... she let her whole heart show-- and WE are touched, by her, forever... thank you, melina...
Hermosa cancion, Interpretada por una hermosa mujer,DIOS la tenga en su lugar merecido, de seguro que con esa voz estara deleitando a los angeles en el cielo. MELINA nos dejaste lo mejor de ti, tu voz y tus hermosas canciones.
@@paulleman1915 j'ai bien précisé chanteuses , il ne me semble pas que Demis ROUSSOS ( paix à son âme ) ne rentre dans cette catégorie , mais vous avez raison sa voix était aussi extraordinaire ...
My wife IS Makedonien Greek, i am bavarian german. ❤️ greek Songs are great. I Love Greek. Open ❤️ and best food in Europe.. thanks to the Greeks for IT. By Hermes ITS great...
Splendida. Grande attrice,grande donna. Appartiene al filone delle grandi personalità femminili. La canzone è commovente e la sua voce profonda e roca da brivido.
Sagapo' - Ti amo ❤Eukaristòs Ellàs for Melina Mercouri - Vangelis and Demìs Roussòs. (Demetrio Stratos too ) . Sweet memories of my vacation in Greece - Cycladi Islands 🚢
Bella canzone greca che ogni tanto mia Madre ascoltava da un suo vecchio 45 giri della Mercouri stessa che canta in questo video: simpatico ricordo per me...! Maurizio, da Udine
So evocative of Greece. I saw this film over 50 years ago, and it’s as though it was yesterday! Brilliant song and film. When I hear it I always want to return to the Greek islands! One day, hopefully ...
My dads favorite singer of Greece --- she was magical and sadly missed. Only she could sing a song missing the boys of the pier (she played a greek hooker in the film) gotta love the greeks!
Indeed, it was quite amazing how she managed to portray a prostitute singing about her view of life without a hint of cheapness or hideousness and simply turning it into poetry. The music by Manos Hadjidakis and the direction by Jules Dassin certainly elevated it to another level.
OMG, What a glamorous voice. I an hearing the Original version for the very first time. Don't understand a word, thanks for the translation. But already cant stop hearing the song.
Et voilà l'explication d'une valorisation d'un morceau musical "ta pedia tou Pirea" et tout cela grâce à une actrice et ambassadrice de la Grèce "Melina Mercouri". Chapeau bas !
La Grèce , c'est le berceau des chanteuses d'exception pour n'en citer que trois : Melina MERCOURI , Nana MOUSKOURI et la plus grande Vicky LEANDROS ; gloire à ces trois chanteuses légendaires . 🖒🇬🇷🎼👍
Vi o filme em sala há muitas décadas e gostei imenso de Melina Mercouri, mais tarde ministra da Cultura do seu país, em cuja capital vi um busto seu.Adoro esta canção. Pena não saber uma só palavra grega.
I'm Chinese,this is my favorite Greek song.
Well, that is nice to know:)
Hi from greece !!
Nice to hear that❤
@@frossotzanetea3365 love greece ❤
I am an Italian living in Rome, London and San Francisco...yet I adore Greece, the music, the sea.....and I love Melina!❤️🌹

And Greece loves Italy and our Italian brothers and sisters, your lovely culture, art and music 🫶🇬🇷🇮🇹🫶
Tears in my eyes. My mom is greek,that was the song she was singing all the time when i was a child.
So beautiful... Keep these memories always in your heart !

From my window, I send off
one, two and three and four kisses
that reach the harbour
(as though) one and two and three and four birds
How I wished I had
one and two and three and four children
once they would all grow up
to become "dashing" lads, for Piraeus's sake
No matter how long I search, I cannot find another harbour
to make me "wild" over, as much as the Piraeus
where, as soon as night falls, (it) pours out "songs" for me
and its "pen-sketches" changes, gets filled up with children
As soon as I walk out my door
there's noone I would not "love"
and as I go to sleep at night
I know that, I know that I will be dreaming of him (/her)
Gems, on the neck I set
and a bead (as a) charm
for at night I await, as I go out to the harbour
a certain "stranger" to find
My Mom is also from Rhodes.

Η εκφραση της οταν λεει"να γινουν ολα λεβεντες για χαρη του Πειραια"💕
Beautiful woman, beautiful song...
I love this song, it reminds me with Alexandria Egypt where alot of Greek friends were living in the past.
La Grèce , une civilisation millénaire , un grand pays et d'immenses chanteuses ( Melina MERCOURI , Vicky LEANDROS , Nana MOUSKOURI ...) 🇬🇷🇬🇷💖💞🇬🇷🇬🇷👍
Et thé Aphrodites Child
@@paulleman1915 j'ai bien précisé chanteuses , il ne me semble pas que Demis ROUSSOS ( paix à son âme ) ne rentre dans cette catégorie , mais vous avez raison sa voix était aussi extraordinaire ...
@@paulleman1915 Et Démis Roussos, Georges Moustaki et ce musicien de talent Vangelis
@@mariemorin6231 Demis Roussos, Vangelis faisaient parti du groupe Aphrodites Child. Je comprend pas votre post
@@paulleman1915 Ils ont fait une carrière en solo par la suite avec brio
This moved me to tears

I grow up in Czech republic ( Czechoslovakia) and always love this song
Oh!!! We miss you sooooo much, Melina! We’re still dancing the Misirlou at every single wedding and Bar Mitzvah only because of you. RIP! ❤️
Splendida. Grande attrice,grande donna. Appartiene al filone delle grandi personalità femminili. La canzone è commovente e la sua voce profonda e roca da brivido.
Sagapo' - Ti amo ❤Eukaristòs Ellàs for Melina Mercouri - Vangelis and Demìs Roussòs. (Demetrio Stratos too ) . Sweet memories of my vacation in Greece - Cycladi Islands 🚢
I am not a Greek but absolutely love this song.
Linda linda amo essa música!
I'd forgotten what a great movie this is
I can't believe Melina was around 40 years old when she made this film. She was born 1920 and film came out in 1960
It was a great movie... The voice of Melina is... so whispering... She was a great actress...
Bella canzone greca che ogni tanto mia Madre ascoltava da un suo vecchio 45 giri della Mercouri stessa che canta in questo video: simpatico ricordo per me...! Maurizio, da Udine
So evocative of Greece. I saw this film over 50 years ago, and it’s as though it was yesterday!
Brilliant song and film. When I hear it I always want to return to the Greek islands! One day, hopefully ...
My dads favorite singer of Greece --- she was magical and sadly missed. Only she could sing a song missing the boys of the pier (she played a greek hooker in the film) gotta love the greeks!
Indeed, it was quite amazing how she managed to portray a prostitute singing about her view of life without a hint of cheapness or hideousness and simply turning it into poetry. The music by Manos Hadjidakis and the direction by Jules Dassin certainly elevated it to another level.
OMG, What a glamorous voice. I an hearing the Original version for the very first time. Don't understand a word, thanks for the translation. But already cant stop hearing the song.
This is my Ever! favourite video-song. It has Everything.
music calling you back home ... Greek love of life, thank you Greece!
Maravillosa, arrebatadora actriz. Una escena inolvidable, una canción eterna.
Et voilà l'explication d'une valorisation d'un morceau musical "ta pedia tou Pirea" et tout cela grâce à une actrice et ambassadrice de la Grèce "Melina Mercouri". Chapeau bas !

La Grèce , c'est le berceau des chanteuses d'exception pour n'en citer que trois : Melina MERCOURI , Nana MOUSKOURI et la plus grande Vicky LEANDROS ; gloire à ces trois chanteuses légendaires . 🖒🇬🇷🎼👍
You forgot the diva of all divas Maria Callas
Vi o filme em sala há muitas décadas e gostei imenso de Melina Mercouri, mais tarde ministra da Cultura do seu país, em cuja capital vi um busto seu.Adoro esta canção. Pena não saber uma só palavra grega.
Lendária Melina Mercouri! Adoro🥰❤🇬🇷
You qre the first greek artist i ever heard! I loved you at once suck a great voice. You sang to my heart! ❤❤❤🙏💃💃💃
Secondo me, non è giusto essere così bella e cantare una canzone così meravigliosa. (grazie, Melina, per farci sognare)
👍👍👍👍👍
Przepiękna piosenka. Ile w niej uroku, tęsknoty..... Pamiętam ją z lat mojej młodości.
Bravo beautiful lady! You are the voice of Greece! You live forever!
Melina was a geat artist. She was a legend.
