[@EleniVeneti]

As a Greek I have to say that you did an amazing work, the way you pronounce difficult greek words while singing so well is admirable, your accent is almost perfect. Well done!

[@veatrikh]

Translation of this Greek children song: When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little rooster The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little bird The little bird chirp chirp The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little hen The little hen kokoko The little bird chirp chirp The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little cat The little cat meow meow The little hen kokoko The little bird chirp chirp The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little dog The little dog wuff wuff The little cat meow meow The little hen kokoko The little bird chirp chirp The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little sheep The little sheep be be The little dog wuff wuff The little cat meow meow The little hen kokoko The little bird chirp chirp The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a little pig The little big oink oink The little sheep be be The little dog wuff wuff The little cat meow meow The little hen kokoko The little bird chirp chirp The little rooster kikirikiki will be waking you up every morning

[@jennykaroumpali]

This song was writen in 1940, a few months before Greece gets involved in WW2. This is the original song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIO0kneofZybrLc and it was not writen for children originally!

[@ZWNTAS]

There is also a weirder version: "When I'll go to the market my lady I'll buy you a goldfish The goldfish - - - - will let you sleep every morning"

[@SteveEpic1212123]

Danke

[@ap24085]

nice but there are mistakes. "When" does not take the future tense, we don't say "when I will go", we say "when I go" and it means "when I go in the future", e.g. "when I am rich I will buy a villa", not "when I will be rich"......etc.

[@winstonelston5743]

Thank you, Donald Swann, wherever you are! I know, traditional, but I always think of him when I hear this.

[@eirinipontia]

That's so adorable! It must've been hard for them to learn the lyrics but it was so worth it in the end!

[@AndalusianNights]

I'm here because I grew up with this song. Now I am 28 and still remember this 🤣

[@orlcloud5087]

There are no words to express the joy I feel when I hear you singing Το Κοκκοράκι! Thanks a million..!

[@StavrosChrisAnastasopoulos]

Wow, flawless interpretation!! Greetings from Greece!

[@EvaFariou]

That's a children's song that we learn in Greece when we are kids. Thank you. Great job!!!😊👍

[@EleNakIsI]

I am from Greece! Thanks for sharing a greek traditional song! Really nice perfomance!

[@ap24085]

it's not a traditional song, it is a Greek popular song, it was written in the 1940s.

[@veatrikh]

FreeSoul και εγώ!!!!!!

[@girlwheels]

I don't know what this is, but it is so cute.

[@kingssingersgirl]

There are no words for how much I love this

[@cookie_batter72]

I love hearing it back even after the summer school. Bravo, the words are easy to hear as well as the tune is still heard clearly. Also I love how they all go to a certain level of craziness together.

[@KooYu]

I'm Greek and I have to say! Jolly good show lads!

[@Sandipolove]

I have felt so happy and fun and fantastic! to hear and see this!!! I am also Greek and find you amazing ALL OF YOU !!!!!!

[@CrisisArchDesign]

This is not a traditional Greek song. Lyrics were written by Nicholaos Fatseas and Music was composed by Zozef Korinthios. Very well performed by King's Singers. Bravo.

[@jennykaroumpali]

This is not a traditional song. It was writen in 1940. The music of this song was writen by Joseph Korinthios and the lyris by Nikos Fatseas. The original song is this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIO0kneofZybrLc

[@stelioskypraios1080]

[@theodora_ang08]

I’m Greek and I have to say that this is wonderful! The pronunciation is very good, congrats ^-^

[@CrisisArchDesign]

This is not a traditional Greek Song. It was composed in 1941, by Nicholaos Fatseas Lyrics and Zozef Korinthios, Music. Very well performed by King's Singers. Bravo

[@kingssingersvideos]

CrisisArchDesign Of course - thanks Crisis Arch Design. Everything is composed by somebody and some point. Folk songs, nursery rhymes etc all have to have been written at some point, even if they evolve! But through repeated performance, common usage, and association with a certain culture, they can also become traditional. That’s how we’d describe this one. But thank you for laying out the background info too

[@CrisisArchDesign]

@@kingssingersvideos Nicholaos Fatseas (1914-1990), was my father's uncle. He was a song and theatrical play writer while working as a director at the ministry of public works in Greece. Lyrics and music remained unchanged since 1941. 'To kokoraki', is a very well known and loved song here in Greece. Ν. Fatseas also organised the art section of the first TV station in Greece (YENED, now known as ΕRΤ2) and promoted many singers, composers and actors in our country. Link to his songs can be found here. palia.kithara.gr/index.php?cmd=ci&cre=vatseas+nikps Extract from traditional music.org: TRADITIONAL MUSIC DEFINITION: Songs and tunes which have been performed, by custom, over a long period (usually several generations). They are most often folk songs, country dance or similar types of folk music but they can also be pieces from known early composers and may have been the "pop music " of their time. Traditional music (or public domain) is also used as a copyright status covering music which is out of copyright. In Europe (EEC) music copyright does not expire till 70 years after the death of the composer. Thank you for performing the song while getting across cultures its story. This act keeps it alive for so many years.

[@alexiaconstantine9118]
