Stella – Vassilis Papakonstantinou, Giorgos Dalaras
Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 in Greek Songs
Vassilis Papakonstantinou and Giorgos Dalaras sing Stella, a Greek song dedicated to women with the name Stella, who have their nameday on November 26th.
Stella is a song written by Giorgos Oikonomeas and composed by Giannis Zouganelis. The first and best performance belongs to Vassilis Papakonstantinou, but here we have the chance to enjoy it in a lovely duet of Vassilis with Giorgos Dalaras, from their meeting on stage a few years ago. Stella is a particular love song, since it combines the tenderness of an erotic song with social critic and understanding of modern life conditions. It’s this antithesis in the lyrics “The city squares are full of apartment blocks and iron – And i am telling you Stella come to my arms to fall asleep”, that makes the invitation even sweeter and tender.
Music: Giorgos Oikonomeas
Lyrics: Giannis Zouganelis
Performed by: Vassilis Papakonstantinou, Giorgos Dalaras
Stella -English Lyrics
The city squares are full of apartment blocks and iron
and every night the city looks like a cinema
And i am telling you Stella, come to my arms to fall asleep
it is a long day, stray as a bullet, and you will be lost
In every corner, drama, comedy and tears
In the streets, couple, loves, playfulness and sufferings
And i am telling you Stella, come to my arms to fall asleep
it is a long day, stray as a bullet, and you will be lost
Lights, large and small, porn movies and football for the poor ones
On the walls, ads everywhere and solutions for the lucky ones
And i am telling you Stella, come to my arms to fall asleep
it is a long day, stray as a bullet, and you will be lost
