Nana Mouskouri - Irene (1968)

[@cleanthessamouilides4441]

I can't get enough of Nana Mouskouri!

[@madamenatalia]

So much I love about this! The song, the beautiful tone of her voice, the fabulous greek sound of the Athenians, her beauty, their style, the era.. wow...

[@isobelwhyte1552]

Nana is just amazing. Have seen her perform twice. What a voice and what a lady.

[@jmrodas9]

Her voice is wonderful! I like to hear her sing and see her on the videos as she does. Not only an excellent Singer but a beautiful woman too.

[@janeeley1604]

Ledgend! Thank you Nana for your Music. We love you here in Australia

[@piano4all4]

I keep finding more and more about nana Mouskouri to like. May not understand it, but I sure do like it. She is a genius at what she does. I wish she was still performing. It would be such an honor to see this angelic singer in person!!!!!!!

[@graceharwood2858]

She will be in Canada for four concerts in May.

[@georgegeorge5901]

I remember Christmas 1969, I was in 8 th gr. & my Dad " procured" this album. My neighbor, a Polish lady cried hearing this. I asked, " why Mrs. Frank ate you crying ?" She said Georgie be as dutiful Greek music always makes me cry"...a lost era, that was - - 55 years later.

I am from the Middle East and I love Greek songs very much, and Nana is more than creative ❤

What a great performance and such a beautiful song. My Dad was a great lover of Greek music, I sort of followed in his footsteps. Nana is an awesome singer, by any measure, The Athenians are a perfect band. It would be nice to know if any of the Athenians are still playing, or still on this mortal coil. Good luck to anyone who connects to this music! Love and peace.

Lovely music my beautiful Nana Mouskouri

[@ezy1005]

Its beautiful. In nigeria nana's records cannot easily be gotten any longer. We need them.

[@meredith218461]

Some her BBC shows from the late 60s were superb, she captured the Greek folklore element so vividly and imaginatively.

[@tulip6303]

Phenomenal!!! She & the Athenians work as a single instrument of an inspired & refined sonorous experience . . WONDERFUL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!💙

[@Emjay1950]

The best performer that I have ever seen in concert. She has the voice and the face of an angel and connects with her audience like no other performer. And I have seen and listened to performers live from Chuck Berry to David Bowie. The only two other performers who ever came close to giving great concerts that touched my heart were Salvatore Adamo and Mireille Matthieu.

[@frankdux1305]

I love you Nana! Tu voz, tu sencillez, tu capacidad para hacer sentir la musica.

[@johndwane9464]

[@tbhamdg]

I love this song! One of my favorite of Nana's Greek-language songs.

[@Coucoutchicou]

What a WONDERFUL surprise! I've been searching this song for Ages everywhere - including in my visits to Athens and Thessaloniki - and just couldn't find it...! Many thanks for posting it.

[@haratauleonidabogdan2383]

Άγγελος φωνές ενσαρκώνουν τους ανθρώπους και είστε μέρος Νανά, καλή υγεία

[@soundmanpt]

Interesting that she would choose to wear glasses when her eyesight clearly couldn't have been very bad at all. This was at a time when even singers and actresses would never allow themselves to be seen wearing glasses in public. Nana proved that you can be beautiful even wearing glasses.

[@G6JPG]

Wouldn't - except Nana. She made her glasses very much a trademark, such that they became her symbol: they alone (along perhaps with her sinewave hair) were enough for most fans to know who was represented! I think several of her album covers had just the glasses and hair. (Incidentally, I think she _did_ need them - what makes you say otherwise?) There are one or two very early clips on here of her without, from Greek films made when she was very young. (Quite disconcerting to a fan!)

[@baronmeduse]

She really was short-sighted. Look at her in another (German) video on here from about 1962 where she's singing without glasses while sitting in an armchair; though she has them on in the studeio sectionns where they're walking all around the stage. She said herself she had bad eyesight, which is why she stopped taking off her glasses.

Wish I had know of you sooner. So glad I know of you know. Amazing!

[@fragadelfin]

...el encanto q produce nana no radica segun mi opinión solo en su alcance vocal o su transparencia y sencillez personal...radica en la fina interpretación melódica al cantar pues en el atinado solfeo de las notas q logra simula tal cual a un instrumento solista bien afinado. Nana Incomparable.

This song is very beautiful...everything with this song is heard nice.

[@Vagalume1949]

Desde a Ilha de Creta para todo o mundo, sua lingua original era o grego mas falou tantas linguas como nos que aqui estamos e hemos que falar tantas linguas, eu falo 5 mas nao canto em nenhuma; essa voz nos encantou. Uma das melhores vozes do mundo. Cantou impressionatemente em 9 diferentes línguas atravez do mundo.

[@jmrodas9]

This Singer is a beautiful lady and has a very nice almost angelical voice. Very good to hear despite the fact not being able to speak Greek I do not understand what she is saying. And the music is very good too so it is a very good song to hear and enjoy.

[@axelleawah3799]

Jorge Mario Rodas no need to understand to apreciate that great singer

[@UdReks]

It's about a girl who, instead of working in the fields collecting fruit, she flirts with boys. The mother warns her that she's on a dangerous road, and that the way she's going, not even the unluckiest boy in town will want her... but Irini doesn't care!

[@shnbwmn]

[@googlesmostwantedfrog147]

Thank you for the translation

[@UdReks]

Unfortunately, this isn't the proper translation at all. The song is about a mother wondering why her daughter Irini has not arrived at the groves to help picking the oranges. She wasn't there in the morning nor at noon. She was out flirting with boys instead. Her mother is warning her, she needs to find a nice boy and settle on him, because the way she's going, flirting with all the boys, no one will want her (not even some poor soul in the village who her mother insults). Irini doesn't seem to care. This is an early Greek version of Girls Just Want to Have Fun.@@googlesmostwantedfrog147

[@Streltzov2]

Questo è il periodo che mi piace di più di Nana, a 34 anni. Era bellissima nell'aspetto e bravissima nel canto. Anche l'accompagnamento musicale era più semplice, ma adeguato. E' questa la vera Nana, poi ha fatto la diva e mi piace di meno. Peccato non averla conosciuta prima, quand'ero giovane e facevo cinema. avrei fatto di tutto per fala recitare in un film sotto la mia regia: ad es. un DIONISO ED ARIANNA, o qualcosa del genere. Se penso a tante banali cantanti della mia generazione, questa qui, della generazione precedente (del Cancro), l'avessi conosciuta allora, avrei detto : -Basta colla mia generazione (beatlesiana e leonina)- La bravura inarrivabile della Mouskuri, comunque, è stata quella di apparire intergenerazionale. C'è un solo cantante che ha fatto altrettanto e che le potrebbe stare quasi alla pari, il grande Leonard Cohen, non a caso anche lui un cancerino generazionalmente parlando. Ma la Mouskouri è stata la n°1. Peccato, lo ripeto ancora, che si sia separata dal marito. La gelosia va superata assieme, non col divorzio né mettendosi nelle mani del produttore di turno. Come facevano le attrici del cinema. Io ho fatto il regista, sia pure per pochi anni e detesto i produttori. Oddio, mi viene in mente che ho fatto il produttore anch'io! No, i mariti legittimi sono meglio. Capito, moglie mia (Lena), che vuoi divorziare? Dedico questa canzone alla meravigliosa Nana:

[@Streltzov2]

Volevo dedidcare MI SONO INNAMORATO DI TE, di L.Tenco (che era delle mie parti, piemontese), ma non l'ha preso purtroppo.

[@rutebeuf2]

This was taped Oct 15, 1968 and aired Oct 26, 1968. It was the last of the 1968 series (6 shows). Nana & the Athenians appeared with more series in 1970, 71, 72?, 73, and 74 before parting ways. She then did a series in 1976 without them, 2 shows in 1979, and one in 1981. I think the era of Nana with the Athenians was the best, but that's just my opinion.
