Gusta mi magla padnala, na toj mi ravno Kosovo. Ništa se zivo ne vidi, do jedno drvo visoko. Pod njeg mi sediv terzije, oni mi šije jeleče. Kol'ko su zvezde na nebo, tol'ko su šarke na njega.

Tvoite oči, Leno mori, Vodenski čereši se. Daj mi gi na mene, jaska da gi izedam! Merak, Leno mori, merak da mi pomini. Sevda, sevda moja, sevda da mi izlezi. Tvoeto lice, Leno mori, Lerinsko simitče e. Daj mi go na mene, jaska da go izedam! Merak, Leno mori, merak da mi pomini. Sevda, sevda moja, sevda da mi izlezi. Tvoeto uste, Leno mori, Kostursko kutivče e. Daj mi go na mene, jaska da go otvoram! Merak, Leno mori, merak da mi pomini. Sevda, sevda moja, sevda da mi izlezi. Tvojta snaga, Leno mori, tenka em visoka e. Daj mi ja na mene, jaska da ja pregrnam! Merak, Leno mori, merak da mi pomini. Sevda, sevda moja, sevda da mi izlezi.

Heartbeat 06:09
floating in the dark light of a bright night you patiently wait for a sign dive down, hit the water, time stops in the thumping of your heart laugh, laugh and then cry cry, in a blur - through a fog you see us wonder, look around and you try to see the world, to feel and find cry and cry and cry, tears fall on your cheek smile and smile fight to be loved you want to be heard and speak, to feel and touch believe the world and hold the wheel of your luck for now sun shines on your face and from your eyes you move your hands and the world sighs

Xénitemeno 04:00
Xénitemeno Ξενιτεμένο μου πουλί και παραπονεμένο, μωρέ ξένε μου η ξενιτιά σε χαίρεται κι εγώ ’χω τον καημό σου, μωρέ ξένε μου Τι να σου στείλω ξένε μου ν-αυτού στα ξένα που ’σαι μωρέ ξένε μου, ν-αυτού στα ξένα που ’σαι; Σου στέλνω μήλο, σέπεται, κυδώνι μαραγκιάζει, σου στέλνω μοσχοστάφυλο, στο δρόμο σταφιδιάζει. Σου στέλνω και το δάκρυ μου σ’ ένα φτενό μαντίλι, το δάκρυ μου ’ναι καφτερό και καίει το μαντίλι. Xénitemeno My distant, lamenting bird My foreigner. The foreign land rejoices for you and I have your grief What shall I send thee, my stranger, in this foreign land where thou art? My stranger, my stranger, where are you? I will send you an apple, it will rot, a quince it will dry, I send you grapes, on the road they become raisins. I send you my tear in a beautiful handkerchief, But my tear is hot and it burns the handkerchief.

Ring Of Fire 04:21
Ring Of Fire Love is a burnin' thing, And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire. I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet. I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire ran wild. I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down, And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

about

Xénos, "foreigner" in Greek, is a band that draws inspiration from stories and experiences of exile and immigration and transcends this into music, world-jazz with a rock sound. The band came about as a wish to play ''songs'', not just instrumental music and the meeting of Srdjan and Jovana was crucial and defining for the band's sound.

After playing around Paris we really wanted to record this music and impulsively, immediately after the first ''lockdown'' we impulsively did.

The leitmotiv of the album is the foreigner in every sense of the word. The tracks were chosen or composed following this guideline. The traditional Greek songs about immigration have been given a new breath of life, thanks to the musical arrangements that bring them towards the Punk / Reggae of the 90s.

Srdjan Ivanovic Paris, France

Drummer/composer Srdjan Ivanovic (1983) chose sticks, drums and cymbals as his main weapon in his quest to liberate energies through musical encounters. He blends melodic modern-jazz with the musical heritage of the Balkans and adds to that anything that might find itself on the way. ... more
