Alkistis Protopsalti sings “S’agapo”, a Greek traditional folk song which in English means “I love you”. The song is also known as ‘S’agapo giati eisai oraia“, meaning “I love you because you are beautiful”.
S’ agapo giati eisai oraia is one of the traditional, most beloved Greek songs ever…
As universal as its title is: “I love you because you are beautiful”, by coincidence or not, this song doesn’t remember its authors…Lyrics and music belong to anyone and they are for everyone, to sing it, to listen to it, to long, to cry with it, or smile…as love does to all of us.
The creators of the song are unknown, simply because the song is considered born by the folk tradition of Greece; some believe though that the song is written by Aristidis Moschos, a composer of folk music, but it’s not confirmed.
It’s hard to find simpler words to tell your love: I love you because you are beautiful… I love you because you are you!!!
Of course, when love one person with every beat of your heart you love the whole world “because you live in it”. And you can’t wait to see the beloved face because the whole world has the latitudes of your love’s eyes and smile. Sometimes, when listening to this song you just want to open the window!
