From the secluded island of Kastellorizo in the Eastern Mediterranean, just 2 km off the south coast of Turkey, comes this folk love song, performed on the ancient lyre for the very first time.
"Open Sea" talks about love in a very lyrical way, as in the eyes of the lover, nature seems to function the other way around thanks to his powerful emotions.
The song is performed here by Thanasis Kleopas (the Wandering Melodist) and Theodore Koumartzis on two ancient lyres, masterfully handcrafted in Greece by the LUTHIEROS family.

🇬🇷 🎶 Lyrics in Greek
Καστελλόριζο (Από Πελάου)

Από πελάου θ’ε να’ρτώ, καλέ μ’να σε φιλήσω
Νά΄ναι τα χείλη μου αλμυρά, να μη σ’αλησμονήσω

Φεύγεις και παραγγέλω σου σαν το γυαλί φυλάγου
Αμάθητο της θάλασσας κι άξευρο του πελάγου

Πατώ στα χιόνια καίγομαι και στη φωτιά κρυώνω
Και στον αέρα βρέχουμαι και στη βροχή στεγνώνω

Λάμπεις και στράφτεις και βροντάς ναι συννεφάς και βρέχεις
Κι όλες τις χάρες του θεού απάνω σου τις έχεις


🇬🇧 🎶 Lyrics in English
Open Sea’s

I will come from the open sea, my beloved, to kiss you
And my lips will be salty, and will never forget you

You are leaving and I beg you to be cautious
As you are innocent and ignorant of the sea

I step in the snow and I am burning, and in the fire, I freeze
And in the wind I get wet, and in the rain I become dry

You shine and flash and thunder, you bring clouds and rain
And all the graces of God you have upon you.
