Sarabanda, Manos Hadjidakis

Athanasia Nikolakopoulou performs the song "Sarabanda" by the Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis (1925-1994), based on the transcription for classical guitar by Gerasimos Miliaresis.
This song was composed for the theatrical play "Caesar and Cleopatra" of 1964, based on the George B. Shaw play with the same title.
Handmade classical guitar by Andreas Madimenos.

Lyrics:
Το ταξίδι αυτό που ήταν γραφτό
δεν έχει γυρισμό.
Θα σε βρει η αυγή σε μια άλλη γη
να κλαις τον χωρισμό.

Στη δροσιά το πρωί
χαμογελάει η ζωή.
Πριν ο ήλιος να'ρθει
έχει η ζωή μαραθεί.

(English translation)

You cannot return from this trip
that your destiny sent you.
At dawn you will find yourself in another land
crying for your separation.

Life smiles in the dew
of the morning.
Before the sun comes out
life languishes.
