So much I love about this! The song, the beautiful tone of her voice, the fabulous greek sound of the Athenians, her beauty, their style, the era.. wow...
What a great performance and such a beautiful song. My Dad was a great lover of Greek music, I sort of followed in his footsteps. Nana is an awesome singer, by any measure, The Athenians are a perfect band. It would be nice to know if any of the Athenians are still playing, or still on this mortal coil. Good luck to anyone who connects to this music! Love and peace.
I remember Christmas 1969, I was in 8 th gr. & my Dad " procured" this album. My neighbor, a Polish lady cried hearing this. I asked, " why Mrs. Frank ate you crying ?" She said Georgie be as dutiful Greek music always makes me cry"...a lost era, that was - - 55 years later.
I keep finding more and more about nana Mouskouri to like. May not understand it, but I sure do like it. She is a genius at what she does. I wish she was still performing. It would be such an honor to see this angelic singer in person!!!!!!!
Interesting that she would choose to wear glasses when her eyesight clearly couldn't have been very bad at all. This was at a time when even singers and actresses would never allow themselves to be seen wearing glasses in public. Nana proved that you can be beautiful even wearing glasses.
Wouldn't - except Nana. She made her glasses very much a trademark, such that they became her symbol: they alone (along perhaps with her sinewave hair) were enough for most fans to know who was represented! I think several of her album covers had just the glasses and hair. (Incidentally, I think she _did_ need them - what makes you say otherwise?) There are one or two very early clips on here of her without, from Greek films made when she was very young. (Quite disconcerting to a fan!)
She really was short-sighted. Look at her in another (German) video on here from about 1962 where she's singing without glasses while sitting in an armchair; though she has them on in the studeio sectionns where they're walking all around the stage. She said herself she had bad eyesight, which is why she stopped taking off her glasses.
What a WONDERFUL surprise! I've been searching this song for Ages everywhere - including in my visits to Athens and Thessaloniki - and just couldn't find it...! Many thanks for posting it.
The best performer that I have ever seen in concert. She has the voice and the face of an angel and connects with her audience like no other performer. And I have seen and listened to performers live from Chuck Berry to David Bowie. The only two other performers who ever came close to giving great concerts that touched my heart were Salvatore Adamo and Mireille Matthieu.
This was taped Oct 15, 1968 and aired Oct 26, 1968. It was the last of the 1968 series (6 shows). Nana & the Athenians appeared with more series in 1970, 71, 72?, 73, and 74 before parting ways. She then did a series in 1976 without them, 2 shows in 1979, and one in 1981. I think the era of Nana with the Athenians was the best, but that's just my opinion.
Thank you so much for the info. I also agree with you, that Nana did some of her best with the Athenians.But what a treasure! And to have her work preserved and shared, so we all may enjoy it again and again.
Have just discovered the "Erini" clip. Thanks so much for posting it as promised. I am sure you know that one of the "bankers" in the backing group was Nana's husband George Petsilas. I wonder where he and all the other Athenians are now. Fantastic musicians.
This Singer is a beautiful lady and has a very nice almost angelical voice. Very good to hear despite the fact not being able to speak Greek I do not understand what she is saying. And the music is very good too so it is a very good song to hear and enjoy.
It's about a girl who, instead of working in the fields collecting fruit, she flirts with boys. The mother warns her that she's on a dangerous road, and that the way she's going, not even the unluckiest boy in town will want her... but Irini doesn't care!
Funny thing.....after seeing Benny Hill do a parody of this singer, I will be downloading a lot of her music. I had never heard of her until now, but I've become a fan.

Questo è il periodo che mi piace di più di Nana, a 34 anni. Era bellissima nell'aspetto e bravissima nel canto. Anche l'accompagnamento musicale era più semplice, ma adeguato. E' questa la vera Nana, poi ha fatto la diva e mi piace di meno. Peccato non averla conosciuta prima, quand'ero giovane e facevo cinema. avrei fatto di tutto per fala recitare in un film sotto la mia regia: ad es. un DIONISO ED ARIANNA, o qualcosa del genere. Se penso a tante banali cantanti della mia generazione, questa qui, della generazione precedente (del Cancro), l'avessi conosciuta allora, avrei detto : -Basta colla mia generazione (beatlesiana e leonina)- La bravura inarrivabile della Mouskuri, comunque, è stata quella di apparire intergenerazionale. C'è un solo cantante che ha fatto altrettanto e che le potrebbe stare quasi alla pari, il grande Leonard Cohen, non a caso anche lui un cancerino generazionalmente parlando. Ma la Mouskouri è stata la n°1. Peccato, lo ripeto ancora, che si sia separata dal marito. La gelosia va superata assieme, non col divorzio né mettendosi nelle mani del produttore di turno. Come facevano le attrici del cinema. Io ho fatto il regista, sia pure per pochi anni e detesto i produttori. Oddio, mi viene in mente che ho fatto il produttore anch'io! No, i mariti legittimi sono meglio. Capito, moglie mia (Lena), che vuoi divorziare? Dedico questa canzone alla meravigliosa Nana:
...el encanto q produce nana no radica segun mi opinión solo en su alcance vocal o su transparencia y sencillez personal...radica en la fina interpretación melódica al cantar pues en el atinado solfeo de las notas q logra simula tal cual a un instrumento solista bien afinado. Nana Incomparable.
@@UdReks There are three versions in the same island. I think this is the on of the megalo horio (big vilage) and it sounds italian (italians alled Tilos "Piskopi")
Desde a Ilha de Creta para todo o mundo, sua lingua original era o grego mas falou tantas linguas como nos que aqui estamos e hemos que falar tantas linguas, eu falo 5 mas nao canto em nenhuma; essa voz nos encantou. Uma das melhores vozes do mundo. Cantou impressionatemente em 9 diferentes línguas atravez do mundo.
Erini Erini who Erini who Erini who' s behind that tree First this one then that one too Oh, what will they think of you Kiss one then kissing two Hoping they will marry you You, You' re much too young You' re much too young It is in Rome to fall in love Don' t run,girl ,you' ll run astray True love will come your way You' ll find it one fine day You' ll find it if you pray **** Life is full of fun, Erini Give your heart to none, Erini Till you find the one, Erini Who will love you strong, Erini **** Erini Erini where Erini where Erini where again you' ll be You' re still keeping company There behind the orange tree If you' re with someone new Who will be left to marry you You, You' re doing wrong You' re doing wrong Girl, after boy should never run There' s only one thing to do Let the boys run after you Ever since the time began Woman always got her man Repeat ****
Unfortunately, this isn't the proper translation at all. The song is about a mother wondering why her daughter Irini has not arrived at the groves to help picking the oranges. She wasn't there in the morning nor at noon. She was out flirting with boys instead. Her mother is warning her, she needs to find a nice boy and settle on him, because the way she's going, flirting with all the boys, no one will want her (not even some poor soul in the village who her mother insults). Irini doesn't seem to care. This is an early Greek version of Girls Just Want to Have Fun.@@googlesmostwantedfrog147
Although she would have my vote what does anyone think of Nana Mouskouri's chances on that American Idol program? The "winners" on that show can't hold a candle to this woman's talent!
So much I love about this! The song, the beautiful tone of her voice, the fabulous greek sound of the Athenians, her beauty, their style, the era.. wow...
I can't get enough of Nana Mouskouri!
Her voice is wonderful! I like to hear her sing and see her on the videos as she does. Not only an excellent Singer but a beautiful woman too.
What a great performance and such a beautiful song. My Dad was a great lover of Greek music, I sort of followed in his footsteps. Nana is an awesome singer, by any measure, The Athenians are a perfect band. It would be nice to know if any of the Athenians are still playing, or still on this mortal coil. Good luck to anyone who connects to this music! Love and peace.
I am from the Middle East and I love Greek songs very much, and Nana is more than creative ❤
I remember Christmas 1969, I was in 8 th gr. & my Dad " procured" this album. My neighbor, a Polish lady cried hearing this. I asked, " why Mrs. Frank ate you crying ?" She said Georgie be as dutiful Greek music always makes me cry"...a lost era, that was - - 55 years later.

She will be in Canada for four concerts in May.
Nana is just amazing. Have seen her perform twice. What a voice and what a lady.
What a beautiful and cultured lady, great voice as well. Much respect from India.
Ledgend! Thank you Nana for your Music. We love you here in Australia
Its beautiful. In nigeria nana's records cannot easily be gotten any longer. We need them.
Wish I had know of you sooner. So glad I know of you know. Amazing!
Wow...exceptional video quality...and Nana does *not* seem to age!
Merci pour toute cette chaine de Chansons de Nana ! J'adore !!! :)
Beautiful voice and beautiful woman! 🌸🌿🍀
NANA WE WIL MIS YOU ALOT. YOUR LOVELY VOICE WIL NEVER DIE. YOUR VOICE IN OUR HOME DAY AND NIGHT

such a soulful voice it hits you deep in the heart.

Many thanks for posting it.
Some her BBC shows from the late 60s were superb, she captured the Greek folklore element so vividly and imaginatively.
Phenomenal!!! She & the Athenians work as a single instrument of an inspired & refined sonorous experience . . WONDERFUL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!💙
The best performer that I have ever seen in concert. She has the voice and the face of an angel and connects with her audience like no other performer.

Une voix et une musicienne unique ! Quels merveilleux musiciens aussi ! Cette voix est tout simplement envoûtante
Lovely music my beautiful Nana Mouskouri

I agree
I love this song! One of my favorite of Nana's Greek-language songs.
A voice to send the angels home. Talent of this kind does not come around often in a lifetim, sends me.
Since Odysseus taught us, Greeks, how to protect ourselves against Sirens, we started sending them out the country, luring you for a change. 🤣
Sublime voice. We love you Nana Mouskouri.
Thank you so much for the info. I also agree with you, that Nana did some of her best with the Athenians.But what a treasure! And to have her work preserved and shared, so we all may enjoy it again and again.
NANA!!! Simplesmente uma DIVA BRAVO. 😘👏👏👏👏💖💚💝 Saudações desde Brasil. 🇧🇷

One of the most beautiful songs in the world
I love you Nana! Tu voz, tu sencillez, tu capacidad para hacer sentir la musica.
Wonderful song wonderful Nana wonderful voice.
That was such an awesome moment; I felt like I was actually there.
Quelle classe ! Une très jolie posture.
this is name of my mother, she ever liked Greece culture.. I will remember of her..
the voice of a angel
Canta como los Ángeles.
Mi mayor respeto hacia est bella dama!
his voice is so sooothing...
Her eye wear is timeless 👌
This song is very beautiful...everything with this song is heard nice.
This Singer is a beautiful lady and has a very nice almost angelical voice. Very good to hear despite the fact not being able to speak Greek I do not understand what she is saying. And the music is very good too so it is a very good song to hear and enjoy.
Jorge Mario Rodas no need to understand to apreciate that great singer
It's about a girl who, instead of working in the fields collecting fruit, she flirts with boys. The mother warns her that she's on a dangerous road, and that the way she's going, not even the unluckiest boy in town will want her... but Irini doesn't care!
UdReks - Thanks!
I've always loved this song & performance 🥰
Que linda música es maravillosa su voz , saludos desde mi Chile lindo .
yes !!!! beautiful voice ... the great nana..Irene-Irina :)
Got me up and dancing.
Funny thing.....after seeing Benny Hill do a parody of this singer, I will be downloading a lot of her music. I had never heard of her until now, but I've become a fan.
What a warm and relaxing voice the Ladt got!
comment ne pas dire grand merci à cette voix don de Dieu, vrai régal
Belíssima cantora sua voz é insubstituível ❤
so beautifull and cultural woman...
One word: Beautiful!
TELEIO. perfect . have no words to say.this song itself says it all
As I just noticed, you don't necessarily have to understand Greek to find Nana a great singer... :-)

Good taste is the same in all languages.

Dedico questa canzone alla meravigliosa Nana:
Volevo dedidcare MI SONO INNAMORATO DI TE, di L.Tenco (che era delle mie parti, piemontese), ma non l'ha preso purtroppo.
Ce l'ho fatta! Mi piacerebbe sapere se a Nana questa canzone del mio corregionale (scomparso prematuramente) piace.
She can still sing beautiful
...el encanto q produce nana no radica segun mi opinión solo en su alcance vocal o su transparencia y sencillez personal...radica en la fina interpretación melódica al cantar pues en el atinado solfeo de las notas q logra simula tal cual a un instrumento solista bien afinado. Nana Incomparable.
I could say this song was written for me, Irene!
@Aristos Miliopulos ΠΟΛΗ ΠΟΛΗ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΕΙΣΑΙ;;ΧΑΙΡΕΤΩ ΜΑΚΡΟΝΗΣΙΩΤΗ!!!!
Hi so so beautiful beautiful singing voice take care.
It's a traditional song from Tilos Island (Dodecanisa) - Greece
Maria meta kitrina
That would explain some of the Italian influence.
@@UdReks There are three versions in the same island. I think this is the on of the megalo horio (big vilage) and it sounds italian (italians alled Tilos "Piskopi")
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Άγγελος φωνές ενσαρκώνουν τους ανθρώπους και είστε μέρος Νανά, καλή υγεία
Great song, holds up--I always thought this song could be made to rock out.
Tout ce que chante cette femme 👩 et merveilleux et magique

Que música linda e que cantora!!!!!
Erini Erini who Erini who
Erini who' s behind that tree
First this one then that one too
Oh, what will they think of you
Kiss one then kissing two
Hoping they will marry you
You, You' re much too young
You' re much too young
It is in Rome to fall in love
Don' t run,girl ,you' ll run astray
True love will come your way
You' ll find it one fine day
You' ll find it if you pray
****
Life is full of fun, Erini
Give your heart to none, Erini
Till you find the one, Erini
Who will love you strong, Erini
****
Erini Erini where Erini where
Erini where again you' ll be
You' re still keeping company
There behind the orange tree
If you' re with someone new
Who will be left to marry you
You, You' re doing wrong
You' re doing wrong
Girl, after boy should never run
There' s only one thing to do
Let the boys run after you
Ever since the time began
Woman always got her man
Repeat ****
