Just a fun fact. The ladies are singing in Greek-Pontic dialect from the region of Pontus (Pontos/Πόντος in Greek). At the Pontus region before the ottoman rule there was an ancient Greek town in northeastern Anatolia , called Themiscyra. Anybody who reads comics/has watched Wonder Woman would know that Themiscyra is where the amazons and Wonder Woman originated from. So this is the language that the Amazons would speak if they existed today :P

[@papakisful]

pontus a town??? i thought it was a region

[@wonderlandian8465]

@@papakisful It's a region where the Greek town was

[@VulpisInFundo]

Fun fact: Pontus does not mean anything. It is the latinized version of Póntos which means "Sea" in Greek. While I personally like Latin a lot , I think it's sad that the romanized word is more widely spread than the original one nowadays :'( Sorry for this comment. I had to let out my frustration

[@reemyos]

So this language they are singing in is no longer exists? Or at least rare to use? I thought it’s Turkish or something, but know you said it’s Greek I understand why I thought that. Turkey and Greece are close to each other so I assume they are similar.

[@wonderlandian8465]

Greek and Turkish actually pretty much have nothing in common as languages. Completely different. This greek dialect does still exist and is known/spoken by Greeks whose familes originated from there but had to migrate from Pontus after the Pontus genocide which took place during the ottoman rule (when the pontic greeks were killed or forced to leave the land). While spoken by a smaller number of people than it was used too it is still a dialect that many pontic greeks know and speak + there are a lot of pontic songs that are very popular and are still being sung to this day.

Διατηρείται σαν μνημείο, που υπενθυμίζει τον τραγικό θρύλο που ο πρωτομάστορας για να στεριώσει το γιοφύρι, θυσίασε στα θεμέλιά του τη γυναίκα του. Το κεντρικό νόημα του τραγουδιού είναι πως τίποτε δε γίνεται χωρίς αγώνα. Κάθε μεγάλο έργο για να γίνει, απαιτεί θυσίες. Πρέπει να δώσουμε κάτι από τον εαυτό μας για να πετύχουμε κάτι, για να φτάσουμε κάπου. Και της Τρίχας το γεφύρι θα στεριώσει μόνο με τη θυσία της γυναίκας του πρωτομάστορα. Ο πρωτομάστορας θυσιάζει την προσωπική του ευτυχία για το κοινωνικό σύνολο. Τα μεγάλα έργα θέλουν μεγάλες θυσίες !! Έτσι θέλει το πεπρωμένο.

[@elifdanismaz]

Daha açıklayıcı çevirisini buldum. En uygunu bu. (Metin alıntıdır.) TRABZON TRİHA / DEĞİRMENDERE ŞARKISI Geleneksel bir Trabzon şarkısı “Triha’nın Köprüsü”. Sözleri “Arta‘nın Köprüsü” sözlerine benziyor. Triha‘nın efsanevi köprüsü, şarkının sözlerine göre bir insan kurban edilerek sağlamlaştırıldı. Trabzon - Erzurum yolunda, Trabzon‘dan 18 km mesafede bulunuyormuş. Piksitis / Değirmendere Köprüsü ustabaşısı köprü sağlam olsun diye temeline kendi karısını koyarak kurban etmiş. Şarkının verdiği mesaj şu; kurbansız hiçbir şey olmaz. Her büyük iş için mutlaka kurban verilmesi gerekir. Ya da bir yere /amaca ulaşmak için kendimizden bir parça vermeliyiz. Triha Köprüsü için ustabaşı kendi mutluluğunu feda ederek karısını kurban veriyor. “Orada karşıda Dragon Gölü’nde Triha Köprüsü’nde bin usta, on bin çırak çalışıyordu Bütün gün yaptıkları geceleyin bozuluyordu Ustalar ücretleri artar diye seviniyor Çıraklar o taşları bird aha nasıl getireceğiz diye ağlıyorlardı. Ustabaşı gece - gündüz düşünüyor, çare arıyordu.” Ey köprü, ey köprü Dafnem, ırmağım Triha köprüsünde Ey Dafnem, mis gibi kokan Bin usta çalışıyordu, Gel Dafne ırmağım ve on bin çırak, ey Dafnem, mis kokulum Bütün gün çalışıyorlar, Gel Dafne Geceleyin bozuluyordu yaptıkları, Ey Dafnem ---Ey Ustabasi, bana ne verirsin Söyle Dafne Irmağım ---Senin köprünü sağlam yapmak için? Ey Dafnem mis kokulu Babamı sana verirsem, Söyle Dafne Irmağım Başka babam yok Ey Dafnem, mis kokulum ---Ey Ustabasi, bana ne verirsin Söyle Dafne Irmağım ---Senin köprünü sağlam yapmak için? Annemi sana verirsem Söyle Dafne Irmağım Baska annem yok Ey Dafnem, mis kokulum ---Ey Ustabaşı, bana ne verirsin Söyle Dafne Irmağım ---Köprünün kalması için? Kardeşlerimi versem sana Söyle Dafne Irmağım Baska kardeslerim olmayacak Ey Dafnem, mis kokulum ---Ey Ustabaşı, bana ne verirsin Söyle Dafne Irmağım ---Köprünün sağlam olması için? Ey Dafnem, mis kokulum Güzel eşimi versem sana Bekle kız, bekle kız Daha iyisini bulurum Al uykunu da gidelim kız (Eşine haber gönderiyor ustabaşı, çabuk gelsin diye.) Eşi daha oğlu Yani’yi yıkamamış. Daha onu beşiğe koymamış, daha inekleri sağmamış, daha buzağıları yedirmemiş. Tekrar haber gönderiyor zavalli esine, öyle bir kuş ile: Cumartesi yıkansın hamamda, Pazar günü düğüne gitsin, Pazartesi sabah erken burada bulunsun. Cumartesi hamama gitmiş, Pazar günü düğüne gitmiş, Pazartesi sabah erken Dragon gölüne gelmiş. Ey guzelim, şurada, Dragon Gölüne benim keserim düştü. Kim dalar da çıkarır onun Benim güzel eşim mi? Eşi göle dalarken beş kulaç atıyor şarkı söyleyerek beş kulaç atıyordu ağlayarak Güzeliğim,gençliğim için değil Aglamiyorum, ama yavrum için ağlıyorum, ben giderken evde uyuyordu. Benim dizlerim nasil titriyorsa, Köprü de öyle titresin Benim saçlarım nasıl sallanıyorsa yolcular öyle sallansın Benim gözyaşlarım nasıl akıyorsa Irmak da öyle aksın Dilek tut güzelim, dilek tut, lanet okuma Kardeslerin var gurbette var, gelip gecerler buradan Dizlerim nasıl duruyorsa, böyle dursun köprü Benim saclarim nasıl duruyorsa, öyle dursun yolcular Benim gözyaşlarım nasıl duruyorsa Öyle dursun ırmağın suyu Üç kız kardeşdik biz, üçümüz de lanetli biri Edesa Köprüsü‘nde diğeri Debarisi‘de. .................................

[@pitsinokaki]

It's a very old Greek folksong, this particular version is from the Black Sea, but the song exists in various versions all over Greece. It's about the belief, coming from ancient times, that in order for a built structure to stand, a sacrifice is needed - the immurement of someone in the structure. The greater the structure, the greater the sacrifice. In this case, the song describes how a company of masons would build a great bridge, which would magically fall down every night, despite all their efforts. The masons are then told by birds (which, in Modern Greek folklore, sometimes function as an oracle) that the bridge will only stand if the beautiful wife of the master mason is immured inside. That is eventually done and the bridge finally stands.

[@JimmyTheGreek2000]

This song is about the Bridge of Trichas located 18 km from Trapezounda. In fact the song is not about the bridge! The bridge is used as a metaphor to say that great sacrifice is required if you are to succeed . If you are able to understand, the song mentions that the master bridge builder had to sacrifice his wife in order to secure the safety of the bridge.

[@annan.4706]

The song is a Greek myth. They where trying to built a bridge, working every day but every night the bridge got ruined. They where desperate and didn't know what to do, when a bird with a human like figure shows up and tells them that in order for the bridge to stand, the leader of the builders has to built in his wife. The leader is so in love with his wife and doesn't want to make her sad so they pull a trick on her and tell that she has to go in the bridge because her husband lost his ring and can't find it and is depressed about it. The wife goes in right away and the builters start building her in. When she understands what happend she starts cursing, that every man walking the bridge will fall down of it and die. But then the builters remind her of her brother that is away and her husband and she changes the curse in to a wish that everything will be good from that day and after. The myth is from when the turks had war with the Greeks. The Turkish army wanted the builders of Arta village to make a bridge so they could pass to the rest of Greece. The villagers took the job but didn't want to help the turks so every night theh ruined the bridge. When the turks asked why it took so long the Greeks said that the bridge was hunted. The chief of the turks got furious and demanded for the leader of the builders and his wife to get killed, and so it happend. The Greeks got scared an built the bridge, but they killed a bird in its foundation and cursed upon the Turkish army.

Giorgos kalogirou used to be my music teacher in highschool, he is an amazing person, I wish I appreciated him sooner- when he was actually my teacher. Respect towards these talents. Wish you all the best!

Στην προσπάθεια μου να γράψω τα αισθήματα που μου δημιούργησε τόσο το τραγούδι όσο και η εκτέλεση του, διαπίστωσα ότι είναι πιο εύκολο να μεταφέρω μέσα από τον υπολογιστή πως μυρίζει ένα λουλούδι που έχω μπροστά μου, παρά το πως νιώθω.. Πλημμύρισε η ψυχή μας ομορφιά... Τι να πω?? Εύγε σε όλους,μα και στον καθένα ξεχωριστά!!!!!!

[@Javathehut1916]

[@emrebuzmavisi]

It's breathtaking... I don't know how can I tell my feelings while listening this song. Greetings from neighbor, Turkey. It was amazing. 💙

[@mutdfil7485]

Hi I'm Greek- Cypriot my language is pretty similar to the Pontiac language because they both have traces of ancient Greek This Song is About 1000 builders who built a bridge this Bridge would collapse and get destroyed every night and the builders would have to start all over again until some Birds showed up and told the builders they had to sacrifice the Builder's wife so that the bridge could stay intact.

[@friendlyfire7509]

Wtf

[@berserkerbambi6094]

Oh no! ...well if the birds said so...Did it work?

[@mutdfil7485]

@berserkerbambi well I guess it did, because the bridge is still standing... but not used.

[@mutdfil7485]

​@berserkerbambi hey man... I did some research, and the song was created during the time where Pontus was a kingdom meaning at the time the people believed in the olympian gods.... these gods supposedly sent the birds.

[@lkots3109]

​@mutdfil7485 if someone knows 1 or 2 things about Greek History they wouldint wonder why Pontic, Cypriot, Asia Minor, Konstantinople Greek and the rest match.... maybe it's time to light the fire in your brain.👀

Ελλαδάρα μου με κάνεις υπερήφανη κάθε μερα!!! Δεν είμαι από πόντο αλλά νιώθω μεγάλο σεβασμό προς τους ανθρώπους οι οποίοι κρατούν τις παραδόσεις μας ζωντανές και οι Πόντιοι είναι σίγουρα ανάμεσα σε αυτούς με διαφορά. Σας ευχαριστούμε για αυτό το άσμα και για την διάδοση των παραδόσεων μας γιατί είναι πραγματικά θεόπνευστες.
