about

"Invoking the sound of Rebetiko, title track Musafir breathes the groove, sound and vibe of Greco-Turkish music. The octet Halva recreates the sound of a Middle Eastern orchestra, forming the background for guest vocalist Andriana Achitzanova.”

lyrics

Ο Mουσαφίρης

Κάθε βραδιά μόνο ζητά
Να μη ξημερώσει σ’άλλη γη
Ο χρόνος σταματά και κανένας δε ρωτά
πότε θα ‘ρθει η χαραυγή
Τις θάλασσες περνά στέκει δε μιλά
Ψάχνοντας ελπίδα να πιαστεί
Ο χρόνος σταματά και κανένας δε ρωτά
πότε ο ήλιος θα φανεί

Μόνο αγάπη, ζεστασιά
να γεμίσει την καρδιά
με στοργή αποδοχή,
ελεύθερη ζωή

Γυρνά και κοιτά, γνέφει χαιρετά
Ψάχνοντας να βρεί μια αγκαλιά
Ο χρόνος σταματά και ποτέ του δε ρωτά
περιμένει σιωπηλά
Χαμόγελα σκορπά, μάτια λαμπερά
ψάχνοντας να βρει για νέα γη
Ο χρόνος σταματά και ο καθένας ξέρει δε ρωτά
τι θα φέρει η χαραυγή
