Τάσος Λειβαδίτης

11 posts in this topic

Δραπετσώνα, Την πόρτα ανοίγω το βράδυ,

Μάνα μου και Παναγιά, Βρέχει στη φτωχογειτονιά......

and many more beautiful songs set to music by Theodorakis and other composers.

Who can tell me more about him or direct me to some source of information ?

J'ai un truc sur lui dans une revue de la Maison de la Poesie de Beuvry (pres de Bethune), dont s'occupe mon frere, mais il va falloir que je le retrouve... En tous cas, quel grand poete!

Hello Annemarie,

maybe that Francois' information is already sufficient for you (I do not know what he wrote as I do not speak French :razz: ). But anyway here is a link to the results of the search engine "Google" when you type the name of the author (in greek letters). I did not visit these websites but I think that at some of them you will find useful information about Livaditis:

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=10&...ch=&safe=images

Personally, I like his song-lyrics too (beside the titles you already mentioned, another very good song is "Savvatovrado" [also with music by Theodorakis]). But I was very much surprised when I read a book (short-story) by Livaditis (I think its title is "To ekkremes"). Completely different topic and style compared with his lyrics for songs: A surrealistic (I would say) story with refrigerators that kill people etc. (something like that) :blush:. By far too crazy for my taste. I prefer his quite realistic lyrics. (But I must admit that I know only this book with prose. Maybe others are different.)

:razz: Thank you Michael !

There is a biography and a very interesting website on poetry.

I must admit that I had performed a search with Google before asking on the forum ....with very poor results ........because I had omitted to use Greek characters... :blush:

Francois, n'importe quelle information en francais sera la tres bienvenue.

Il est dit dans la biographie mentionnee ci-dessus que certains de ses poemes ont ete traduits en francais mais je ne vois rien dans la liste de E. Stavropoulou etablie en 1994. Pour le moment, je n'ai trouve que deux maigres demi-pages dans l'anthologie de Michel Volkovitch (Gallimard 2000).

Annette, I agree there are some wonderful songs for which Λειβαδίτης has written the lyrics. Some of my favourites are from Φυσάει sung by Βασίλης Παπακωνσταντίνου. (An excellent recommendation from a very knowledgeable young man in the Ixogram CD shop at 25 Evripidou Street in Athens.)

Το 1996, στο πλαίσιο του πρώτου κύκλου της εκπομπής «Η άλλη μεριά του φεγγαριού» που ήταν αφιερωμένη στους Έλληνες στιχουργούς, ο Λευτέρης Παπαδόπουλος αφιέρωσε τρία επεισόδια στο έργο του Τάσου Λειβαδίτη... Από το "Σαββατόβραδο", την "Δραπετσώνα" και το "Βρέχει στη φτωχογειτονιά" στο "Φυσάει" με τον Βασίλη Παπακωνσταντίνου...

Δυο ποιήματα του σπουδαίου Τάσου Λειβαδίτη, που "έφυγε" σαν σήμερα, που κυκλοφόρησαν το 1967 σε ένα σπανιότατο δίσκο 45 στροφών...

Στο ένα απαγγέλει ο ίδιος ο ποιητής...
