Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Yerakina (or Gerakina)
Thanks so much, El Greko!
That story sounds much truer to the "folk tradition" than the Limeliters' version, but there's a time and place for happy endings, too, I guess.
Nice to have the Greek lyrics. The missing line in my post of the Limeliters' version was the Greek line,
"ta vrachiolia tis vrontoon."
What does that line mean?
