Ancient Lyre - Soul's Roots - Thanasis Kleopas & Loukiani Papadaki

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments
but what is woven into the lives of others.
- Pericles, leader of Athens, 5th c. BCE
This is an original melody for the eternal quest to our inner self.
One of the highest forms of human exploration, both philosophical and spiritual, is where we come from, where our soul's roots lie.
An eternal and never-ending quest to our inner self, the value of this journey is not in the destination but in the stops along the way.
Soul's Roots is an original composition for the ancient lyre, inspired and dedicated to this journey.
In this video, Thanasis Kleopas performs on a custom LUTHIEROS lyre, masterfully handcrafted in Greece by the LUTHIEROS family, and Loukiani Papadaki accompanies him on vocals.

🇬🇷 🎶 Original Lyrics in Greek
Που να 'ναι οι ρίζες της ψυχής,
θέε μου φανερώσε μου,
σε ποια πατρίδα σε ποια γης,
έλα κρυφά και πες μου.
Μην είναι στα άστρα του ουρανού,
μην είναι μες το χώμα,
και ποιος το σπόρο φύτεψε,
δεν το έμαθα ακόμα.
Μην τα κρατάς τα μυστικά
μονάχα για εσένα,
ψιθύρισε τα μου την αυγή
με της Ιούς τη γέννα.
Που να 'ναι οι ρίζες της ψυχής,
θέε μου φανερώσε μου,
σε ποια πατρίδα σε ποια γης,
έλα κρυφά και πες μου.
Πότε δεξιά, ποτέ ζερβά,
ο νους μου φτερουγίζει,
ποιος άνεμος και ποιος θεός,
την τύχη του να ορίζει.
Μονάχος πριν το χάραμα,
σκυφτά παρακαλώ,
θάλασσα έλα πάρε με,
στον κόσμο δεν μπορώ.
Που να 'ναι οι ρίζες της ψυχής,
θέε μου φανερώσε μου,
σε ποια πατρίδα σε ποια γης,
έλα κρυφά και πες μου.
🇬🇧 🎶 Lyrics in English
Where do the soul's roots lie,
oh, God, reveal to me,
in what country, in what land,
oh, God, come secretly and whisper.
Perhaps they are in the stars of heaven,
or deep inside the earth?
Who planted the seed,
I have never discovered it.
Don't keep these secrets
just for you,
whisper them to me at dawn
when Eos gives birth to another day.
Where do the soul's roots lie,
oh, God, reveal to me,
in what country, in what land,
oh, God, come secretly and whisper.
Sometimes to the right, some to the left,
my mind flutters,
which wind and which god,
determines its fate?
Alone before the dawn,
I plea on my knees,
great sea, come and take me,
I can't stand in the world anymore.
Where do the soul's roots lie,
oh, God, reveal to me,
in what country, in what land,
oh, God, come secretly and whisper.
