Marinella | Anxie Petra ( Open Stone ) | Reaction 

The clip you used was from 1995 when she was nearly 60. She originally released this song in 1969 - twenty six years earlier - yet nails every note like they were nothing. Thank you again for paying great respect to this amazing singer.

It literally means open ground (petra meaning stone). Please note that Greek singers don't use auto-tune. Thank you for your reviews.

Marinella and Kazantzidis are the 2 divine voices of Greece with a mythical difference from the rest of the singers

Marinela is the Greek living legend. Then and now. ❤

No one can sing it better then Marinella

I'm greek American I saw her twice in concert in New York city and in another concert in Cyprus in Europe and she still has that voice and dance moves

Η Μαρινέλλα είναι η διαμαντένια φωνή του λαϊκού τραγουδιού ✨❤️😍👍

Anixe Petra.. Stone...open up so I can close myself inside So the sun, the sun can't see me Instead of dressing up as a bride, I have to get dressed in black* Stone...open up so I can come inside I'm losing the man I love Night....come down from the mountains Night..all dressed in black The man I loved,n ow cares for someone else Night....come down from the mountains So the daylight never sees me again Start dancing girls And leave me alone I have been reaped like wheat And I'm trembling like a feather now Start dancing girls I have lost the one I was waiting for *black clothes are worn in Greece as a sign of mourning, from a few months to forever

A Greek Miroloi , a lament ( a death song for the resting the soul of a dead one , sometimes sunged by the family females ! Or the mother ! ) That is why is so strong ! In Greece we are no weaping the dead , but we sing for them ! Ancient Homeric tradition ! Marinella nailed that! Sometimes like in that situation, a Miroloi , is the black expression of a soul trauma, or anger by the treatory of a loved one !

You are a man of culture. Really like your reactions. Marinella so dramatic 😁 great voice she is

Great reaction bro, haha. This song is legendary and I sent you the dramatic live version with only drums and her voice. Glad you liked it! Very dramatic and intense 🙂

Omg no way !!! You reacted to this classic ?? What never thought.

Man that performance as also others from a lot of different Greek artists, show the unique Greek DNA and all the values it carries in it. !!!

I love the way you understood her performance , she is an amazing singer with a wide range in her voice , (also has some age she's packing) but her voice is just that amazing . Thank you , maybe you're Greek like Adetocoumbo , peace friend.

She is a legend. ❤

Marinella s singing career started at the end of 50s, so today as an old woman still singing

The song was composed for a film. In the film there is a third verse, where she invites the girls to join the dance, for that man eventually came back to her. That song was added to the soundtrack in replacement to another song which she could not sing, allegedly due to a medical condition, and ended up becoming one of her greatest hits. Here is the film clip. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHOOZHlVSeo.html

She is the one and ONLY! Deep Lyrics yes.

love from greece brother🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

The other day I saw Hurt sung by Cash. Everyone was talking about what a sad, soulful song it was. It's kind of funny cause the majority of Greek music is like Hurt, while it's not common in American songs. I think it's because Greeks use music as a communal carthartic response to tragedy.

You make another video for this lady my friend, she is one of our great great singers. They got you chill out.

This song is legend Bro !!!!!

Laughing my ass off at how invested you got in the story, like "wait, what? he's not dead??" I'm sorry, I've just known this song my whole life, your reaction totally threw me in for a loop.

Βρε μέχρι και το άνοιξε πέτρα βρήκες. Μπράβο!

This is from the original movie version from the sixties, with a much younger Marinella. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHOOZHlVSeo.html But this ends on a happier note saying that "Girls, go and dance, the one i waited for has returned"

Lets thanks whoever told him about Marinela

This is a modern version with drums of this song from the 70's. At that time in Greece we had a very descent cinema and many songs written and produced for movies. And this movie the song was sang was, and is, actually, a comedy movie!! I suggest to hear the original old song in the primary form. You'll be surprised!!🙏

Όταν ακούω αυτό το τραγούδι συγκινούμαι!!!! Σ'ευχαριστώ!!!

Love your videos man ! Your comments are so accurate and you look like you understand so much of Music! Marinella is one of the best (probably the best) voices and drama singers of Greece. This song is a masterpiece of love betrayal. Music (Mimis Plessas) is perfect, lyrics (Lefteris Papadopoulos) are absolutely soul ripping and Marinella nailed it in almost every single performance she ever did! Pure diamond! In the comments i will put a performance couple years ago, where she is 84...!!!! Unbelievable!

"Open rock to let me in......."

Brother, Marinella is probably the best Greek female singer. i was surprised by you, by how quickly you picked up her masterful vibrato and with how much ease you sung it...

this song, just as most older greek songs, it has few lyrics, so these few lines have to carry meaning. that's why i wanted to give a little analysis here for anyone interested firstly, there's context behind the open stone part lol there's this greek saying that goes along the lines of "i want for the earth to open up and shallow me" and we say it as a hyperbole for when we feel too much sadness and/or embarassement. here, open stone means basically that, but she also uses the imperative tense, to command the stone to truly open up, for she is so influenced by the cheating man (whether sad or humiliated maybe angry or anything, since it doesn't tell you, you can interpret it however) also it leaves it open to interpret with the "instead of a bride i should be dressed in black" cause it may be a show of her sadness on the matter or since traditionally women would dress in black if the husband died well, yeah she'd do crimes this last one is also backed by the lyric "night descend" command, followed by her using as the reason for it the fact the man's cheating, cause when would one kill their husband (this may just be my opinion) she does say everything clearly but even still she doesn't in a way, cause you wouldn't want to believe the darker side so you can always choose to interpret it differently At last "the sun may not see me" is not the best translation one could say. It is, however, litterally what she says, she wants the sun not to see her, meaning she doesn't want to see the light of day, that could be depression, but also, due to the closed nature of society in those days, it may just be because she doesn't want to face the judging faces of everyone or more.

Μπράβο σου. Την αγάπη μου απο την Ελλάδα ❤

Ανοιξε Πέτρα- Open up stone- This is a very theatrical version of this song. Marinella is born at 1938 and still she has an amazing voice. This song was first heard in a Greek comedy (yes comedy) from the 60's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHOOZHlVSeo.html

I am Greece ,bro ,this is love

I loved this

Anixai petra open up a rock 🪨

Anikse Petra means to move the stone of the tombe so she can enter and be buried there, some kind the stone was in front Jesus tombe

Music is the only one of the _Arts_ which requires no interpretation, because it transcends _language barriers_ and moves the Soul. You FELT this song, even if there were no _subtitles_ you would have still felt it resonate deep within your core. And just think: Marinella was 80 years old here during this performance, and I can tell you that her vocal range as well as her _voice_ is better here, than it was during her youth, when she first emerged back in the early to mid 60's.

Thank you. I had not seen this version. First, the translation of the line “hurts for another woman” is better translated to “is deeply in love with another woman”. Second, I first saw her sing this in 1969 at a night club outside Athens. There were no drums but rather bouzoukis. The stage opens in total black and total silence. You could hear a pin drop. Then the spot light comes onto Marinella as she starts a cappella with AH-NEEK-SE PE-TRA!!!! Then the bouzoukis come in. Incredibly powerful. In this rendition her voice is even stronger. Here is a link to the album from 1969. The song is at 17:55 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f3092ieGrnk.htmlsi=kvTROvEYdSlbCq61 Thank you.

Marinella's voice is great, so sad though that the original track edition with the traditional greek instument bouzouki, was not the one you've chosen!

You should really try one other song of hers, "Ta logia einai peritta" you will be amazed!

Συγχαρητήρια!!!!

Not ANXE, but ANIXE ( ANIKSE) which means OPEN.

The opening is looks like a scene from the exorcist 😆

Miroloi is an ancient Greek type of song that used to be performed above the graves of the dead as an honor and came through 4-5 millenniums today.

Αγαπητεμου πρωτη φορα βλεπω το βιντεοσου αυτο μολις τωρα το ειδα.ονομαζομαι γιωργος σεφεριαδης.τραγουδω μαρινελλα εχω καναλι στο τικ τοκ.το συγγεκριμενο τραγουδι το εχω σε παρα πολλα καραοκε.και αυτο το συγγεκριμενο που βλεπεις κι ακους εχω πατησει επανω επανω στην φωνητης.

Άνοιξε πέτρα πω πω τι μου θύμησες κατάγομαι από Σέρρες και γινότανε πανηγύρι στην Εκκλησία την Ευαγγελίστρια μεγάλη η χάρη της και ήμουνα επτά χρονών παιδί και έπαιζε το τραγούδι αυτό το άνοιξε πέτρα και ακουγοτανε στα πέρατα του κόσμου. Ντελάλης θεα

For me this is the best Performance of song "OMORFI POLI"" FOLROM AMAZING Gianni's Parios!!!!!!LITEN IT!! BUT without out a video Clip

❤ the type of harmony is called Doric some fun facts about the greek music Heraclides Pontikos characterizes it as "harmony, which expresses the masculine and majestic style" while Plato writes in the Politics that "the true Musician will regulate his life only according to the Doric Harmony, which is the only Greek one". A system of freedom and power, the Dorios Harmony represents for the music philosophers-astronomers the power of the Gemini stars. There are two more harmonis in greek music

Άλλη μια φορά μπράβο σας

Μπραβο - μπραβο που σου αρεσει η Μαρινελα...που ψαχνεσε και ακους ελληνικα τραγουδια...ελλας= φως....φως= Ιησους Χριστος...Ιησους Χριστος Ο τριαδικος Θεος...εχω εκπλαγη μαζι σου,εχεις ελληνικο πνευμα..να'σαι καλα

Thank you for that video! It is Anixe, not Anxie.

Wwooowww

😍😍😍😍😍

When listen marinela just cry.you dont want that but....

Have you made and kazantzidis Stelios reaction ??

How on earth did Marinella reached you haha...Well she is one of the best female folk Greek singers of all time and she was also the greatest Greek singer's wife Stelios Kazantzidis!

It's like an ode by Electra herself. It's a deep party of cultural heritage.

She studied theatre before she became a singer. Thats why she is so theatrical.

In the 50s and 60s Greece and I think globally women's dream (or her family's) was to get married and have a family. So if you are about to get married and the man leaves with another woman, that was like 100 feet tsunami to her!

In this performance (1995) Marinella was 57 years old. Check out the original version, if you like. It was in a movie, back in 1968, when Marinella was 30 years old. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4KChQcxi72w.htmlsi=-QiMOZCewNwpdbxE

one of the best songs from Marinela, but frend, lisend the same song, wen she was jüngere.

Ειναι η καλυτερη λαικη τραγουδιστρια στην ελλαδα! Επισης απο λαικους τραγουδιστες ειναι απο τους καλυτερους ΣΤΕΛΙΟς ΚΑΖΑΤΖΙΔΗΣ ,ΣΤΡΑΤΟΣ ΔΙΟΝΥΣΙΟΥ , ΜΗΤΡΟΠΑΝΟΣ

ANIXE PETRA. STONE OPEN MEANS

She is much older here ... try an earlier version.

You need to see the actual song itself like the real song with the theatrical dancing and the melody. It's epic. There was no melody in this one.

She mourn for her lost love

I may be mistaken but I think shr was relatively unknown when she first sang this, which was in one of those popular 60s greek movies you jeed to watch the original even though there no subtitles (now you know the lytics for it) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHOOZHlVSeo.html

better choose studio versions...

Με εδειξε η τηλ.και επαθαν σοκ.με τα βιμτεομου.

i do not know if anyone haw replied to this, but here are some info about the song the exact translation of the song title is "open stone" Music: Mimis Plessas Lyrics: Lefteris Papadopoulos as @dimitrisnikoloulis4071 posted it is a Greek Miroloi (Miroloi = crying of my bad fate) and thus tends to be one of the most powerful if not the most powerful songs in the Greek culture

Η άλλη Κάλλας.

you should’ve listened to the official song/music video it’s so much better. hope you can remake it

You can hear the official song here buddy with the Bouzouki instrument that changes everything on melody! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fUNm6xrjw7I.html

Η φωνή της είναι ένα διαμάντι

Anixai Petra na thw to Andra pou agapw open up the rock so I can see the guy who I love

Here is the Original: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHOOZHlVSeo.html

Have in mind that Greeks know the self.the body is like a chariot the mind is the driver and you sitting on the back seat a soul with intentions that makes the self.to all barbarians.am Greek my self honouring the god's.

you are a pride for your race!

🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

What a voice and what a song She’s losing the man she loves and instead of dressing in white she will dress in black. She’s asking the earth to open up so she can get in so that she never sees the light of day ever again There is much more to the song and it is longer than this. Her name is pronounced Marie nella. She’s now 88 and still on stage.

Its originally from this movie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHOOZHlVSeo.html

Τραγουδάει τοσα πολλα χρόνια..... και τωρα όμως αν εισαι τυχερός και την ακούσεις, ειναι ακριβώς ίδια η φωνή της, μετα απο τοσα χρόνια !!! Δεν ειναι απλα ενας μύθος , ειναι ένα μουσικό θαύμα!!!!!

Βαλε το τραγουδι Τι να θυμηθη απο Αποστολο Ριζο

It about guy she can cut her vains, kapsoura again. Marinela is top , everyone loves her

Μπορεις να το δεις και να ρωτησεις για μενα κι αν θελεις μπορω να στο στειλω ακαπελα η καραοκε στο διπλασιο χρονο δυναμη και μεταλο.

Ελα μετρισε λιγο η Μαρινελλα. Σου κανε λιγο χαμο μεταξυ μας....

I prefer the original she sang

It"s anixe Not anxie

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NAZX398SqPc.htmlsi=U2X6Z6VHbbz0BXqE And she is still singing at the age of 85.

This is a remake. I don't know why they took a great song sung by a great voice and pretty much destroyed it.
