It is the outcry of Mother Earth that we so willingly mistreat through the decades leading us, the human race, gradually to our extinction. Thanasis sings and plays on a custom LUTHIEROS ancient lyre, masterfully handcrafted for him in Greece by the Koumartzis family. The video session took place inside the Akron Art Centre, an exquisite art workshop in Santorini Island, Greece. ⚫ Find the perfect lyre for you at 🔵 Learn how to play the lyre and other ancient musical instruments at 🎬 Film d’auteur: Nikolaos Koumartzis 🎙️ Who is the Wandering Melodist?

They buried me deep, deep in the darkness, marked with wounds, they made me their target. Oh, I am deeply thirst, thirsty for rainwater, for flowing rivers to wash my pain away. For loving humans to gently lie on me, for chilly breezes to embrace me sweetly. Oh, how I wish for they to let me grow flowers and plants to beautify the earth once again. But the only thing they value, are their pockets to be full, so they keep me underneath, no light for me anymore. I became a desert land, I sigh; I am in pain, but people seem to be deaf, not hearing, not caring. They congratulate each another, while forgetting mother earth, not able to respect, the land they stand on. 🎶 🇬🇷 Lyrics in Greek Με πλάκωσαν τσιμέντα έπαψα να ανασαίνω, τον ήλιο πια δε βλέπω με έχουνε κρυμμένο Με θαψανε βαθιά βαθιά μες το σκοτάδι, με γέμισαν πληγές με βάλαν στο σημάδι Αχ δίψασα βαθιά για βρόχινα νερά, για ποταμούς να ρέουνε στην πλάτη μου απαλά Για ανθρώπινα κορμιά πάνω μου να ξαπλώνουν, για ανέμους δροσερούς γλυκά να με κυκλώνουν Αχ πόσο θα θελα, από μέσα μου να βγαίνουν, λουλούδια και καρποί, τη γη να ομορφαίνουν Μα όλων τους η σκέψη, ευρίσκεται στη τσέπη, με θαψαν από κάτω, το φως να μη με βλέπει Η έρημη η γη, πονάει αναστενάζει, μα οι άνθρωποι κουφοί, σαν να μη τους νοιάζει Τα γένια τους βλογάνε, τη μάνα γη ξεχνάνε και έτσι λησμονάνε, το χώμα που πατάνε ©️ Photograph’s credits: Masha Raymers, Pexels 👍 Follow us on Facebook: ❤️ Follow Thanasis Kleopas: ❤️ Follow us on Instagram: 🔴 For more videos like this, subscribe to our channel on youtube by clicking here:
