Just a little “Greek lesson”, Juha: Φινλανδική μετάφραση sounds rather as the translation of a whole book into Finnish. A single translation (e.g. of a poem, or a song) is better rendered with μετέφρασε στα φινλανδικά (lit. “translated into Finnish”) + translator's name. Curiosly enough, Greek agrees with Icelandic in this (Þýtt hefur Juhä Rämö, i.e. "translated-has-J.R.")! I have added your name transcribed into Greek characters.

Thank you for your Greek lesson, Riccardo. The difference between your Finnish and my Greek is that I have absolutely no clue except that Iούχα Ρέμοε looks even more intimidating than the Russian version Юха Рамо.

I know that Greek transcriptions of foreign names look rather comic even to Greeks...they're usually made according to pronunciation, so, say, Shakespeare becomes Σαίξπηρ and Churchill Τσώρτσιλ. That's why many Greeks prefer to leave foreign names in Latin characters. But what if we would leave Μίκης Θεοδωράκης or Κουγιουμτζής (Kuyumtzis) in Greek characters...? :-) I am rather lucky to have a true Greek family name (Βεντούρης) and I use it rather freely when I make translations into Greek. There's also a ferry company in Greece called "Ventouris Ferries": the first time I sailed from Pyraeus to Italy, I went to the booking office and there was a big, shining, totally transparent glass door I didn't notice at all. Well, of course I got squashed on the door and all the office clerks (and my then girlfriend: I was only 22...) split their sides laughing. Then I got in and a clerk asked for my... (continuer)

Sono certo che Al Bano e Romina Power siano sempre stati una minaccia per chiunque in qualsivoglia paese, non solo per gli ucraini.
I danni prodotti dalla coppia in decenni di attività sono incalcolabili.
Penso che sia venuto il momento di bannarli a livello planetario e avviare contro di loro una class action mondiale.

Assolutamente d'accordo. Anzi, se per caso si potesse lanciare da questo sito un appello all'Ucraina per bombardare la tenuta di Cellino S. Marco, in questo caso possono contare sul nostro incondizionato appoggio!

Chissà che l'Ucraina non chieda (e ottenga) l'estradizione di Albano, così come aveva già fatto con Eleonora Forenza, Giorgio Cremaschi e la Banda Bassotti
Ucraina, Forenza e "Banda Bassotti" in Donbass con la Carovana antifascista. Kiev li vuole processare per terrorismo

Thank you very much to Dq82 for providing the above music link.

What wonders - or rather annoys - me is that the YouTube link comes with a complete list of people involved in the recording (see above), except the name of the woman who does a marvelous job singing the song.

Here's today's Finnish lesson: the word sviitti (Finnish version of English / French suite) is only used to refer to a hotel suite. Therefore, it should read Runoteoksesta instead of Runo-sviitistä above.

And, of course, I thank you for today's Finnish lesson, Juha! Just one question: would "runokokoelma" be correct, too? As for YouTube videos, I find what is most annoying now is that videos have become just advertising tools. You may listen to whatever you want, but you have to buy stupid things before...

Un ricordo commosso anche da parte mia, che a suo tempo gli avevo risposto su questa pagina. Un ricordo lontanissimo dei beceri rumori "social", dalla volgarità chiassosa di questi tempi, e vicino alla semplicità e alla sincerità che ci ostiniamo a perseguire.

Mi sono permesso, Krzysiek, di sostituire "obiecują" con "obiecuję" alla 1a persona singolare (la 3a plurale secondo me non ha senso). Però, come disse il 16 ottobre 1978 un tuo famoso connazionale che in quel momento si trovava a Roma, "se sbalio mi currigerete"... :-)

Boh! Chissà come ci s'era infilato dentro! Ad ogni modo lo ho rimosso....

Ha ragione Krzysiek, qui non è certo Milly ad interpretare la canzone, bensì Leoncarlo Settimelli...

Thank you for your effort, Riccardo. Over the years, I've done exactly the same you did, time and again, but without success. I wouldn't dare to submit "Ei kuule kaupunki" as an original Finnish song as long as archive records show that it's a Mikis Theodorakis song. Anyway, here are the Finnish lyrics:

EI KUULE KAUPUNKI

Ei kuule kaupunki, ei näe kaupunki
Ei kuulla ihmisääntäkään voi
Vangittiin soittoni, kahlittiin soittoni
Ei näissä kahleissa sitra soi

Ei enää surra, kreikkalaiset
Siis barrikadiin miehet, naiset
Tartu aseisiin, yhdy musiikkiin
Sarat syvät iskemme kahleisiin

Ei kuule kaupunki, ei näe kaupunki
Ei kuulla ihmisääntäkään voi
Vangittiin soittoni, kahlittiin soittoni
Ei näissä kahleissa sitra soi

Ei enää surra, kreikkalaiset
Siis barrikadiin miehet, naiset
Tartu aseisiin, yhdy musiikkiin
Sarat syvät iskemme kahleisiin

Ei enää surra, kreikkalaiset
Siis barrikadiin miehet, naiset
Tartu aseisiin, yhdy musiikkiin
Sarat syvät iskemme kahleisiin

I seize the occasion for expressing my best wishes to Mikis Theodorakis, who is currently in hospital (since 26 February) due to a heart attack. Mikis Theodorakis is 93 years old (he was born on 29 July 1925). As for the Finnish song, I thank you for transcribing it so promptly. I hoped it would light sort of a candle in my mind, but I really remain in the darkness. Sadly enough, the only person who could have helped us with his deep knowledge of anything Greek (I mean Gian Piero Testa, of course), is no longer in this world. As far as I remember, he was acquainted with Mikis Theodorakis' daughter. The alleged author of the Finnish lyrics, Tapio Lipponen, passed away in 2017. Just one question: would it be possible to conctact Arja Saijonmaa to ask her if she remembers something about this song and its French or Greek original? This site includes a number of "mysterious" songs that have been elucidated after long years of research, and I think this is another.
