lyrics
Ν’ ασημώσεις πρέπει φως μου του τσιγγάνου το βιολί
Ν’ αγκαλιάσω το κορμάκι, να σου φύγει το φιλί
Να το πιάσω από την άκρη να μην πέσει καταγή
Ζήτα ζήτα του τσιγγάνου κείνο τον παλιό σκοπό
Που γνωρίζει που κατέχει, όταν αγαπιούνται δυο
Είναι κρίμα να τους βρίσκει χωριστά το δειλινό
Chorus:
Έλα πάλι έλα πάλι στου χορού την αγκαλιά
Δες καημούς και δες μεράκια δες του κόσμου τα ακριβά
Πότε πάνω πότε κάτω του βιολιού οι δοξαριές
Να στηθεί το πανηγύρι, ν’ ανταμώσουν οι γενιές
Να βουρκώσουνε τα μάτια και ν’ αγιάσουν οι πληγές
Να κοπούνε, να κοπούνε του τσιγγάνου οι χορδές
να γυρέψουμε μικρή μου πολιτείες μακρινές
να ‘ναι γελαστοί οι ανθρώποι και μεγάλες οι καρδιές
--------------------------------------
Pay (with silver), my light, the gypsy's violin
I'll embrace the body, so you'll lose a kiss
I'll catch it from the edge, so it doesn't fall to the earth
Ask from the gypsy that old tune
From him who knows very well, that when two are in love
It's a pity for the twilight to find them apart
Chorus:
Come again, come again, to the dance's embrace
See the kaimi (1) and the merakia (2), see the world's precious
Up and down, go the violin's strokes
To set up the panigyri (3), to join the generations
To wet the eyes, and heal the wounds
Let the gypsy's strings cut
so we can search, my little one, for far away lands
where people are laughing and hearts are large
(1) kaimos: A burning and unfulfilled desire in the heart, not necessarily related to love
(2) merakia: A deep love and passion for something, typically related to expression, creation or crafting
(3) panigyri: A traditional celebration, typically associated to some religious event, with live traditional music and dancing

Οι Babo Koro είναι ένα μουσικό υφαντό που αντηχεί φωνές των Βαλκανίων και της Μεσογείου και μας καλεί, στου “Χορού την
Αγκαλιά”. Εκεί, όπου οι καημοί συναντούν τα μεράκια, και ανταμώνουν του
κόσμου τ’ ακριβά. / Babo Koro are a musical textile that echoes voices from the Balkans and the Mediterranean and invites us, into "The Dance's Embrace"....more

As a Frenchman, I discovered VIC very late (2019-2020). I fell in love with Age Of Aquarius. Well, I have to say: I love Riza even more.
If you love Greece (I've been there 4 times), you'll love VIC: a rock marked by traditional Greek music and instruments. Slasher ✨

This album has caused me to completely reapproach my left hand accordion playing in Balkan music. Lots of wonderful intensity and an incredible pocket between the percussionist and the synth player. Also love the kind of slow blast on Anastenariko! nahadoth
