Con'tylia - Varka/Koupes - Βάρκα/Κούπες

Con'tylia Live Studio Recording 9-Varka / Koupes (Boat / Cups) Traditional tsifteteli songs from Minor Asia ___________________________________________________________ Varka Σε καινούργια βάρκα μπήκα, και στον Αή Γιώργη βγήκα I entered a new boat, and arrived in Saint George Έχετε ψαράδες ψάρια? αστακούς και καλαμάρια? Do you fishermen have any fish left? Lobsters and squids? Έχουμε και τα λαβράκια, που τα τρών’ τα κοριτσάκια We have seabass, for the little girls Έχουμε και καλαμάρια, που τα τρων’ τα παλικάρια We also have squid, for the lads Koupes Θα σπάσω κούπες, για τα λόγια που είπες I am going to break cups, for the things you said Και ποτηράκια, για τα πικρά λογάκια And glasses, for those bitter words Γιανιγιορουμ μπεν, Σεβιόρουμ σεν, ικι τέλι, τσιφτετέλι I am burning, I love you, and so I play a two stringed tsifteteli Εχθές το βράδυ, σε είδα στο όνειρο μου Last night, I saw you in my dreams Πως είχες τα μαλλάκια σου ριγμένο στο πλευρό μου I saw you had your hair resting on my side ___________________________________________________________ Con’tylia were born in the winter of 2023, in the kitchen of 1243 Argyle Street, Glasgow. While we were singing along to Vamvakaris, we had the idea to book our first gig and play Greek music to a foreign crowd, which led us to our firs on t intimate performance at Tchai Ovna. Ever since that moment, we have had the good fortune of sharing our music in venues and festivals across Scotland. This project has shaped us as musicians and allowed us to explore the musical roots of our country, Greece, along with the surrounding traditions. This album wouldn’t have been possible without the people of Glasgow’s vibrant music scene, who have supported our journey and embraced our sound. You make dancing, laughing, crying, and sighing on Scottish dancefloors a joy. A special thank you to Nicky, Chloe, Orpheas, Filippos, and all of our friends who contributed to this album and helped us reach this moment.
