Maybe the best song ever written for Cyprus - composed by Mikis Theodorakis, poetry by Leonidas (Leo) Malenis especially for CyBC's documentary "To Nisi Tis Afroditis" (The Island of Aphrodite), back in 1964. To song is called "Hrisoprasino fillo" (Gold-green leaf) and was first sung by Grigoris Bithikotsis. GOLD-GREEN LEAF Earth of lemon and olive tress, earth of joy, embrace, earth of spruces and cypresses, of young heroes and of love, gold-green leaf, thrown into the sea. Earth of dead pastures, of an embittered Virgin Mary, earth of the incense of loss, of the unjust, of wild weather and volcanoes, gold-green leaf, thrown into the sea. Earth of laughing girls, earth of celebrating boys, earth of ointment of worship, Cyprus of love and dreams, gold-green leaf, thrown into the sea. Translated by Paul O'Mahony

Όποτε ακούω αυτό το τραγούδι ανατριχιάζω...

Anything by Theodorakis is good - I would wish that this was sung by Soula B or Nana M is all....

ναι έχεις δίκαιο.. δεν ξέρω πως και είχα λάθος εντύπωση.. νομίζω από το σχολείο! Ευχαριστώ για την διευκρίνηση. :)

Οχι φίλε μου ! Έχεις λάθος ... ¨οταν ο Λεωνίδας αλένης έγραψε αυτούς στίχους και ο Θεοδωράκης τους μελοποίησε ... Ο Τόκας ήταν 10-11 χρόνων ........ Μιλάμε για το 1964 και ο Τόκας γεννήθηκε το 1953 .....

Έχω την εντύπωση πως το τραγούδι αυτό δεν είναι του Θεοδωράκη αλλά του Μάριου Τόκα.

i dont hate turks its stupid to hate people who have personally done nothing to you.i do hate goverments though,both turkish and greeks ones.and evenmore you like it or not there is tension between the two countries and its not because its people hate each other its because both countries have interests in controlling certain strategically important pieces of land.so i will say once more stop preaching about things you know nothing of..1 final question.where r you from??

well maybe the trouth about this whole matter is rather sad too.maybe i should have said something like "everything is fine guys 400 years of slavery is good,evicting thousands from theirs homes and land (katexomena) is good,the action of war at "IMIA" before 6years or so,everydays dogfights over the aegean because of tresspassing is good.anyways everything is fine just take everything cause i got good sense..?hm...although i sound sad you sound funny mate cause i said nothing about hate.i dont
