- Why not παράθυρο for window? Net research is proving way beyond my rudimentary Greek.
Any expert assistance on this song would be most welcome. Such a pretty blue remembered tune.
My folks' old LP (French Fontana, ©&℗1967) credits M. Plessas (familiar name) & "Fr. Gérald" (unfamiliar).
This concludes the present Nana burst - worried that Auntie Beeb will get on my tail about steals beyond promotional level.
Nana Mouskouri has such a beautiful voice that has served her well throughout the years (as well as her audience). Hauntingly angelic is the only way i can describe it.
...she can turn a small song into a thrilling experience!
"if is my love tell him he came too late and keep my window shuttered"
Completely wonderful, Nana could break the heart of any man with her Beguiling manner.
A perfect woman and I thought they did not exist, sigh !
Η συνάντηση της Νάνας Μούσχουρη με τον Μίμη Πλέσσα, στο προαύλιο του Ραδιομεγάρου της ΕΡΤ, ήταν από τις πιο συγκινητικές στιγμές της χθεσινής παρουσίασης του άλμπουμ «Nana Mousxouri - Radio Days» με τις πρώτες, νεανικές ηχογραφήσεις της στο στούντιο του Εθνικού Ιδρύματος Ραδιοφωνίας.
Παρά το προχωρημένο της ηλικίας του, που δεν τού επέτρεπε να βρεθεί σε έναν κλειστό χώρο με πολύ κόσμο, ο 99χρονος συνθέτης περίμενε υπομονετικά τη μούσα του, καθισμένος στο αμαξίδιό του, για να την αγκαλιάσει και να πάρει από χέρια της το συλλεκτικό βινύλιο με τα 24 τραγούδια τα περισσότερα από τα οποία φέρουν την δική του μουσική υπογραφή. Κι όταν εκείνη έφθασε άνοιξε την αγκαλιά του και την έκλεισε τρυφερά σιγοψιθυρίζοντας μαζί της ένα από τα τραγούδια του που τούς ένωσε πριν πολλές δεκαετίες, «Το παραθύρι»:«Άνοιξε παραθύρι μου/ δυο μάτια ν’ αντικρίσω/ τον ύπνο μου τον έχασα/ σαρανταδύο νύχτες» τραγούδησαν αντάλλασοντας βλέμματα βαθιάς αγάπης.
Unbelievable. What an amazing voice.
This beautiful song was one of my favourites. It was on a vinyl album of mine, but sadly it disappeared over the years. Wonderful to hear it again, thanks!
Παραθύρι is an idiom. Βoth "παράθυρο" and "παραθύρι" became from the word (ancient greek) "παραθύρα". After many many years it became παραθύριον and then παράθυρο. We dont use παραθύρι in our oral speech very often but u can usually find it in poems, lyrics, nuvels etc. I hope I helped u!!!!
I have everything from last weekend's little BBC4 splurge, and as I'm not yet in trouble over these little clips, I might risk posting a little more.
But video recording hardware and tapeware was professional-only kit back when Nana was a regular on UK TV screens. I hope the lack of retail BBC rereleases isn't due to having wiped and reused most of the master tapes.
I know it's 14 years ago, but I hope you _were_ able to post some more clips - as this one (and presumably the others you have from the time) is whole-picture, not cropped to "shortscreen" as most BBC4 material on UA-cam is.
wonderful...
απλά σε ταξιδεύει!!!!!ένα σύντομο τραγούδι που όμως λέει τόσα πολλά!!!!
Thanks for his beautiful song. Look also for "Makria stin machi san tha pas" which I believe was on the same LP. As for parathyro and parathyri, is just the poet's choice of words. Is the difference between high class and low class way of talking.
Quelle merveilleux vidéo, cent fois merci!

Το παραθύρι σφαλιχτό/
σαραντοδύο μέρες/
και πάλι απόψε πέρασα/
και σφαλιχτό το βρήκα/
Άνοιξε παραθύρι μου/
δυο μάτια ν' αντικρίσω/
τον ύπνο μου τον έχασα/
σαρανταδύο νύχτες/
Και να σ' ανοίξω - τι θα βγει/
είπε το παραθύρι/
έφυγε εκείνος που αγαπάς/
αλλού να τον γυρέψεις
I think the polite reply is:
καλησπέρα,παρακαλώ.
But my Greek is/was of the classical kind. If it's not ancient enough for Liddell & Scott, I flounder.
슬프도록 아름답고 애잔한 목소리 ...
Your English writing is excellent,I only speak English I wish I could be multi-lingual like Nana but my brain has not got enough power LoL !
Thank you for this video. I like the translation at the beginning, that's interesting.
(By the way, I enjoyed your small conversation about Greek =D)
Νανα είναι όμορφη.
Στοπ
Thank you funnymiliiiiie. What a lot of iiiiis. My conversation about modern Greek is indeed small.
If you don' t mind me saying, parathiri is a FOLK way of saying parathiro.
I can tell you are a lovely girl just by your writing,so I know you will pick the right man !.
If you have any single Aunties though please tell me ! lol
LoL, how much fun is this Stella !,right be honest, how old are you and dont lie !
Ah well you are too young, never mind, but if you can sing like Nana and hold that air of mystery and presence you will and find the man you deserve Stella ,good luck, from Marco

Copy and paste this in the UA-cam search:
"Benny Hill:Nana Sings! "
and see the funny parody Benny Hill made of this clip.
