MINOR OF THE DAWN: A SEQUEL

EDELTRAUD 3: THE PSYCHOBITCH  ==> DISMANTLING BIG TIME => THE AVENUE 3

ATHENS-PATISION AVENUE
WEDNESDAY NOON
4/3/2015

This song is one possible (but actual) sequel to the song quoted in italics.
The song quoted is a very popular rebetiko serenade of the 1930s which you can listen  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2MynMibAAM (MINOR OF THE DOWN)
It is a pure love song with a brilliant bouzouki improvisation and not political by any stretch of the imagination. It serves me well though for a political sequel to it. The story is true and it happened this noon as I was walking the streets of Athens. Comments and criticism are welcome.

MINOR OF THE DAWN: A SEQUEL

"Wake up,
my little one,
and listen,
to a minor of the dawn,
it's written for you
by the crying of a soul…

Open your window,
throw at me a sweet glance,
and let me perish then,
my little one,
in front of your house,
in a corner".

*****

Broken Greek and broken voice,
but there is no other choice
for an immigrant like me,
my accordion I'll manage,
through wild streets and squares savage,
till I drift down to the sea.

I walk slow besieged by hunger,
taking charity and anger,
but I still can play this tune,
to some people it seems moving,
but some others, not approving,
would get rid of me quite soon.

This is minor of the dawn,
so, forgive me, "Golden Dawn",
of Greek tunes that's all I know,
for my Greek I'm kind of sorry,
hunger though it's a true worry,
do I lie? How would you know?



"Golden Dawn" = The well known extreme right/fascist political party of Greece.
