I am trying to collect the Greek folk songs that people sing during Greek wedding rituals. It would be nice to have the Greek, the Greeklish and the translations. Please help by posting a comment below.
The following Lyrics have come from allthelyrics.com
Greek – Greeklish – English Translation
Simera gamos ginetai- Today We’re Having A Wedding
Σήμερα γά- σήμερα γάμος γίνεται /Simera ga – simera gamos ginete
σ’ ωραίο περιβόλι, σ’ ωραίο περιβόλι (δις) / s’oreo perivoli, s’oreo perivoli
Σήμερα απο-, σήμερα αποχωρίζεται / simera apo – simera apoxorizete
η μάνα από την κόρη, η μάνα από την κόρη(δις) / i mana apo tin kori, i mana apo tin kori
Γαμπρέ τη νύ-, γαμπρέ τη νύφη ν’ αγαπάς (δις) / gampre ti ni – gampre ti nifi na agapas
Να μην την εμαλώνεις, να μην την εμαλώνεις (δις) / na min tin emaloneis, na min tin emaloneis
Σαν τον βασί-, σαν τον βασιλικό στη γή (δις) / san ton vasi – san ton vasiliko sti gi
Να την εκαμαρώνεις, να την εκαμαρώνεις (δις) / na tin ekamaroneis, na tin ekamaroneis
δις = twice (the chorus)

I don’t speak Greek, nor can i read or write it.
However it would be nice to understand the old folk songs that are sung at Greek Wedding Rituals. So please help to revise these lyrics so that we can all sing along.

You left out one line here:
Sikw peri- sikw perifane aete (repeat)
Anoikse ta ftera sou, anoikse ta ftera sou (repeat)
Na petaxtei, na petaxtei h perdika (repeat)
Apo thn agalia sou, apo thn agalia sou (repeat)
Lovely song! Yia XX

Here is the translation of the song:
Σήμερα γά- σήμερα γάμος γίνεται /Simera ga – simera gamos ginete
σ’ ωραίο περιβόλι, σ’ ωραίο περιβόλι (δις) / s’oreo perivoli, s’oreo perivoli
Means: Today we’re having a wedding/In a beautiful nest.
Σήμερα απο-, σήμερα αποχωρίζεται / simera apo – simera apoxorizete
η μάνα από την κόρη, η μάνα από την κόρη(δις) / i mana apo tin kori, i mana apo tin kori
Means: Today the mother parts from the daughter.
Γαμπρέ τη νύ-, γαμπρέ τη νύφη ν’ αγαπάς (δις) / gampre ti ni – gampre ti nifi na agapas
Να μην την εμαλώνεις, να μην την εμαλώνεις (δις) / na min tin emaloneis, na min tin emaloneis
Means: Groom, love the bride/Don’t chastise her.
Σαν τον βασί-, σαν τον βασιλικό στη γή (δις) / san ton vasi – san ton vasiliko sti gi
Να την εκαμαρώνεις, να την εκαμαρώνεις (δις) / na tin ekamaroneis, na tin ekamaroneis
Means: Just like the basil of the earth/Show her off.
I hope this helps! X.

Correction: Perivoli means garden.
The rest of the song means:
Get up, proud eagle/Open your wings
So the partridge can spring out/Of your embrace.
Sorry about the choppiness!

I have heard somewhere that e-cigarettes are the best altenative for smoking and will even help you stop this really bad habit. Now me and my husband we are desperate for a solution on quitting and we have relatives that got cancer from them and I really can’t tell you the horror behind those scenes when someone you care for knows their days are set up in a countdown.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask for this kind of advice but would really love some help from you — especially regarding the electronic cigarettes – like if you have used them how much did they helped you stop or did you even bought them for quitting or just as a replacement for real cigars. Reading though the web I have heard so many different oppinions and just can’t find a thruthfull review reagrding this matter.
Anyway, regardless of the electronic cigarettes , I need any other urgent solution that can help me and my husband get over this addiction.
Thank you all.
