Greek humor

Λατρεύω τα κόμικς και ο αγαπημένος σκιτσογράφος είναι ο Αρκάς:

Λίγα λόγια για τον Αρκά:

Arkas (Greek: Αρκάς) a Greek comics artist that started his work in middle 80s. He seldom appears at conventions, and generally avoids publicity and appearances on television shows or interviews, as he has been quoted as believing that the artist should be known through his work, not through personal promotion. His real name is unknown, although the Greek newspaper Kathimerini has also mentioned it as Antonis Evdemon.
Arkas in Greek means Arcadian or someone from the province of Arcadia. However, the CamelCase style in which his name is written suggests that Arkas may be only his initials. Arkas has been translated into other languages and has become known outside Greece. Translations of his books can be found in English, French, German, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Bulgarian, Polish and Serbian.

About "το τραγούδι της εβδομάδας"

Γεια σας παιδιά,

Κάθε εβδομάδα "θα ανεβάζουμε" (post) κι από ένα τραγούδι που μας αρέσει στα ελληνικά.
Για αυτή την εβδομάδα διάλεξα (chose) ένα από τα πιο ωραία τραγούδια του Γιάννη Πλούταρχου.

Σχετικά με τον Γιάννη Πλούταρχο, κοιτάξτε εδώ:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia

Giannis Ploutarhos (Greek: Γιάννης Πλούταρχος; born 18 December 1970) is a popular Greek singer and songwriter. He is considered one of the most popular laïko singers of his time, and has been characterized with having a genuine laïko voice. To date, he has released 11 studio albums along with one greatest hits album.

Early life

Giannis Ploutarhos was born as Giannis Kakossaios on 18 December 1970 in the small village of Mavrogia, outside Orchomenos. Ploutarhos comes from a poor rural family, which long struggled to make ends meet. He first started singing at age six, while his whole family would sing while working to get through the day. His first musical influences came from Dimotiká and traditional Byzantine music. Ploutarhos lived there until the age of sixteen, at which point he decided to move to Athens to pursue his dream of becoming a singer. He had told his family he wanted to move the Athens to study Hairdressing.
Once in Athens, Ploutarhos began working during the day at a hair salon while singing at clubs at night. His first gig was at a small club in Korydallos. Disappointed by the prevailing conditions in the music business, he abandoned singing twice and pursued other occupations to support himself. Despite previous disappointments, Ploutarhos' love of music pushed him back into the business and just two years after his first performance, he started appearing at club Rodolfo, which was followed by appearances at bigger clubs such as Neraida, Fantasia, and Tonel where he collaborated with well known laïka names such as Giannis Poulopoulos, Rita Sakellariou, Themis Adamantidis, as well as Contemporary aïka artists such as Stelios Rokkos and Giorgos Mazonakis. Around that time, Ploutarhos came into contact with Dimitris Kardatzis and Ilias Filippou who believed in his talent, and got him in touch with his first producer Girgos Makrakis, who is credited with inspiring his stage last name "Ploutarhos".

Οι στίχοι(lyrics) του τραγουδιού "O θησαυρός"(treasure) είναι οι εξής:


Νιώθεις αυτά που νιώθω
Πονάς όταν πονάω
Γελάς όταν γελώ
Κι αν έξω κάνει κρύο θα με κρατάς εσύ ζεστό
Θέλεις αυτά που θέλω
Μου δίνεις και σου δίνω
Εσύ είσαι εγώ
Κι απόψε τραγουδάω
Μόνο για σένα που αγαπώ


Αν η ομορφιά ήταν χρυσός
Θα ήσουν θησαυρός
Θα ήσουν θησαυρός
Και μάρτυράς μου ο Θεός
Για σένα είμαι τρελός
Για σένα είμαι τρελός


Για σένα είμαι τρελός…
Για σένα είμαι τρελός…


Σ’ αγγίζω και μ’ αγγίζεις
Δακρύζω και δακρύζεις
Κι αν με ρωτάς γιατί
Στις φλέβες μας κυλάει ο έρωτάς σε υγρή μορφή


Αν η ομορφιά ήταν χρυσός
Θα ήσουν θησαυρός
Θα ήσουν θησαυρός
Και μάρτυράς μου ο Θεός
Για σένα είμαι τρελός
Για σένα είμαι τρελός


Για σένα είμαι τρελός…
Για σένα είμαι τρελός
