Are Mou Rindineddha is a nostalgic song, a lament by someone wandering lost far from home. It talks about freedom in a very poetic way and the flaming yearning to return to our home.
The melody comes from Grecìa Salentina, an area in Southern Italy that speaks Griko, a rare Greek dialect. The area had significant Greek influences, initiated by the ancient Magna Graecia colonization in the 8th century BCE.
The melody is performed by Eleni Eljona Sinjari on vocals, Theodore Koumartzis on a custom ancient lyre masterfully handcrafted by the LUTHIEROS family, and Marios Podaras on the violin.

🇬🇷 🇮🇹 🎶 Lyrics in Griko
(a dialect of Italiot Greek spoken by Griko in Salento and Calabria)
Aremu rindineddha
plea talassa se guaddhi
ce a putt' e ste 'ce ftazzi
ma to kallo cerro
Vasta to petton apsro
mavre vasta tes ale
stavri kulor de mare
ce i kuta en'diu nifti
Kaimmeno mbro sti talassa
evo se kanono
lio ngherni lio kalei
lio nghizzi to nero
Aremo plea paissia
pleus topus ise diammena
pu in echi ghianomena
ti foddhean esu
An ifsera ti diaike
apu cirtea s'emena
ka possa guaita sena
su roto na mu pi
Ma su tipo mu lei
ja possa sse roto
lio ngherni lio kalei
lio nghizzi to nero
🇬🇧 🎶 Lyrics in English
(loosely translated)
Who knows, little songbird*
From where you’ve flown
Which seas you’ve crossed
To arrive with the fair weather
You have a snowy breast
Jet-black wings
A back that’s blue as the sea
And a long, forked tail
I walk along the shore
And watch you
As you soar and swoop
To skim the waves
But not a word do you say to me
However much I ask you
As you soar and swoop
To skim the waves
* The original lyrics mention the songbird swallow, also known as hirundinidae.
