Song: Σήκω Διαμάντω - Get up Diamanto

Artist: Σταυρούλα Δαλιάνη - Stavroula Thaliani

Live Show: EPT1

Get up Diamando                                     Siko Diamanto

Get up Diamando to go for firewood          Siko Diamanto na pas gia xila
I’m not well, mother I’m not well             Den mporo, mana, den mporo

I’m not well, mother, I’m not well             Den mporo, o mana, den mporo
Send for the doctor to bring him here       Stileh na ferris to giatro

Get up Diamando to go to the mill             Siko Diamanto na pas to milo
I’m not well, mother I’m not well             Den mporo o mana de mporo

I’m not well, mother, I’m going to die       Vre den mporo o mana tha pethano
Bring the doctor to heal me                      Ferreh mou to giatro na geiano

Siko Diamando so we can wed                Siko Diamanto na se pantrepso
Opala, mother, opala                            Opala, Mana, opala

Opala, mother, opala                            Opala, Mana, opala
As much as he wants pay it                   Osa hi an thelei thos touta

Lyra sounds pretty good in rock band imo

Song: Η τίγρης - The Tiger

Artist: Georgia Dagaki - Γεωργία Νταγάκη

The Tiger                                                       Ei Tigris

I have a tiger inside me, fierce starving          Eho mia tigri mesa mou, agria limasmeni
Which always awaits me                               P’olo me perimenei
And I’m always persevering                            Ki’olo tin kartero
I hate her and she hates me                         Tine miso kai me misei
She wants to kill me                                     Thelei na me skotosei
Yet I hope to reconcile                                  Ma elpizo na filiosei
From time to time                                        Kairo me to kairo

I have her teeth in my heart                         Ehei ta dontia stin cardia
Her claws in my mind                                  Ta nihia sto mualo mou
And I for my own good                                  Ki ego gia to kalo mou
Fight for her                                                 Gia keini polemo

And everything good in this world                   Ki olou tou cosmou ta kala
She makes me loath                                     Me kanei na misiso
So I can sing to her my deepest sorrow          Gia na tis tragoudiso ton pio vari kaimo

Mountains gorges and cliffs                            Ori, Lag’kathia kai gremni
She pushes me to cross                               Me sprohnei na peraso
So I can embrace her in a most wild dance    Gia na tin ag’kaliaso ston pio trllo horo
And when on the coldest of nights                Ki otan tis kries tis vradies
She remembers her cages                            Thimatai ta klouvia tis
She gives me her fleece                               Mou dinei tin provia tis
So I can wear it                                           Gia na tin eforo

Sometimes from the booze we fall down drunk Kamia fora ap’to pioto peftome methismenoi
Almost in love, each time she sleeps                S’hethon agapimenoi, katheis na koimithei
And this silence resembles                               Kai moiazei etouti ei siopi
The calm before the storm                            Me ligo prin ti mpora
Like the final time that she will attack             San ti sterni tin ora, pou th’a epitethei

And this silence resembles                            Kai moiazei etouti ei siopi
The calm before the storm                            Me ligo prin ti mpora
Like the final time that she will attack             San ti sterni tin ora, pou th’a epitethei

Sorry for the late response I was cleaning up videos that were missing.

Yeah the Zorba came into existence (was written) for that movie but it falls under the genre of hasapiko like the video below which has been around for ever.

Shakallis dance group

Song: φραγκοσυριανή - Franko Syriot Girl

Singers: Χρήστος Φιλίππου & Γεωργία Λάρδου - Chris Filippou & Georgia Larthou

Live show: Savvato ki Apovrado - Saturday & Evening

Francosyriot Girl                            Fragosiriani

A kindled flame                          Mia fountosi mia floga
Which is in my heart                   Eho mesa stin cardia
As if she bewitched me                Les kai magia mou eheis kanei
Sweet Frankosyriani                   Fragkosuriani glukia
As if she bewitched me                Les kai magia mou eheis kanei
Sweet Frankosyriani                   Fragkosuriani glukia

I’ll come to meet you                   Tha’rtho na se antamoso
Down at the shore                      Kato stin akrogialia
I want my fill with you                Tha eithela na se hortaso
All caresses and kisses                O’lo hadia kai filia
I want my fill with you                Tha eithela na se hortaso
All caresses and kisses                O’lo hadia kai filia

I’ll take you and go to                Tha se paro na guriso
Phoenix, Parakopi                      Foinika, Parakopi
Galissa and Delagratsia             Galissa kai Delagratsia
Even if I’m stricken by syncope    Kai as mou’rthei sinkopi
Galissa and Delagratsia             Galissa and Delagratsia
Even if I’m stricken by syncope    Kai as mou’rthei sinkopi

In Pateli, in Nihori                         Sto Pateli, sto Nihori
We’ll have a great time in Alithini    Fina stin Alithini
And in Piskopio romance                Kai sto Piskopio romantza
My sweet Frankosyriani                Glukia mou Fragkosuriani
And in Piskopio romance                Kai sto Piskopio romantza
My sweet Frankosyriani                Glukia mou Fragkosuriani
