	Αν μ’ αγαπάς μη μ’ αφήσεις μακριά σου να φύγω Κάθε σκοτάδι χρωστά στην αυγή κι έναν ήλιο Μια γελάς Την άλλη κλαις Κρασί Και πικρός καφές Μαζί... Συννεφιά και φως Η ζωή... Ξέρει ο καιρός την καρδιά κάθε ανθρώπου να υφαίνει Πότε φουστάνι βελούδο και πότε κουρέλι Σαν τροχός Για δες, γυρνά Γεννάει Ο καημός χαρά Ζωή Είναι και περνά Ζωή Μυρωδιά παλιά Γεύση από σκουριά Και μέλι... Και μέλι... Αν μ’ αγαπάς... Να γελάς Κι ο ήλιος θ’ ανατέλλει… Translation: If you love me, don't let me leave you Every darkness owes the dawn a sun First you laugh Then you cry Wine And bitter coffee Life is both Overcast and light Time knows how to weave the heart of every man At times a velvet dress and at times a rag Like a wheel See how it turns Sorrow gives birth to joy It is life And it’s going by Life An old smell Taste of rust And honey And honey If you love me Laugh And the sun will rise

about

Lush strings, jangly guitars, exotica-tinged organs, and the husky vocals of celebrated Greek artist Fotis Siotas cooning through the theme song ‘Skouria Kai Meli’: this track is just one piece from the extensive collection of music all written by Cypriot producers Andreas Trachonitis and Lefteris Moumtzis exclusively for the soundtrack of brand new TV series ‘Meliartos’ by actor-screenwriter Loris Loizides’ and director Theodosis Economides. With lyrics by Stavrous Stavrou, ‘Skouria Kai Meli’ sees Trachonitis and Moumtzis reunite with longtime friend Siotas who had previously collaborated with Louvana Records as frontman of his rock band Sotires (Σωτήρες).

The Meliartos score nods to the silver screen soundtracks of Mimis Plessas and Mikis Theodorakis. References to Hiotis, rebetiko, Sinatra and Greek teddy-boy (“teddyboides”) shake and garage rock were a starting point for Trachonitis and Moumtzis, resulting in a retro sonic timewarp laced with overdriven bouzouki solos, sauve organ melody lines, and velvet smooth orchestrations to accompany Meliartos’ nostalgic storyline.
