Immortal water flows from your sweet eyes.
― Olmaz, lyrics
Christiana Papakosta, an impassioned performer and aspiring ancient bendir player, performs for us the song "Olmaz". The melody comes from the wider region of the Erythrae peninsula in Asia Minor, but its actual origin is lost in the depths of time.
Christiana plays on a one-of-a-kind LUTHIEROS Bendir (ancient frame-drum), beautifully painted by hand using ink on its leather drumhead. In many cultures, larger frame drums were played mainly in spiritual ceremonies.

// 🎼 Lyrics in Greek
Από τα γλυκά σου μάτια
τρέχει αθάνατο νερό, σεβντί μ' αμάν,
και σου γύρεψα λιγάκι
και δε μου 'δωσες, και δε μου 'δωσες να πιω.
Ολμάζ, πιπίνι μου, Ολμάζ, να με πεθάνεις πολεμάς,
να με πεθάνεις πολεμάς, Ολμάζ, πιπίνι μου, Ολμάζ.
Είπα 'σου μη με πειράζεις
κι άσε με στο χάλι μου, σεβντί μ' αμάν,
και τον νου μου τον επήρες
από το κεφά-, από το κεφάλι μου.
Έλα να πάμε, μάτια μου κι ας φέρουν τα κομμάτια μου,
κι ας φέρουν τα κομμάτια μου, έλα να πάμε μάτια μου.
Άφες με, γλυκιά μου αγάπη,
ν' ακουμπήσω απάνω σου, σεβντί μ' αμάν,
και ντερμάνι εγώ δεν έχω
να θωρώ τα κά-, να θωρώ τα κάλλη σου.
Έλα να πάμε εκεί που λες που κάνουν τα πουλιά φωλιές,
που κάνουν τα πουλιά φωλιές, έλα να πάμε εκεί που λες.
// 🎼 Lyrics in English
From your sweet eyes
run immortal water,
and I asked you to share it with me,
but you didn't give me any to drink.
Olmaz, my love, Olmaz, you fight me to death,
you fight me to death, Olmaz, my love, Olmaz.
I told you not to tease me,
I asked you to leave me in my mess,
but you took my mind,
you took my mind off.
Come with me, my sweet eyes, even if they will bring me back in pieces.
Let them bring me back in pieces, my love, come with me.
Let me, my sweet love,
let me lean on you,
and cure I do not have
to have you, to have your beauty.
Let's go where you say, where the birds make nests,
where the birds make nests, let's go where you say. KG5pZhoZ5m4 |
