Thessalian Purple Horse dances

-Larissa Horse returns to Glory Days-
Larissa beat Athens


Στη Θεσσαλία πήγα μια μέρα στου κάμπου τα χωριά είδα κορίτσα,είδα κι αγόρια,σαν τα κρύα νερά.Θεσσαλία μου γλυκιά μες στον κάμπο ζωγραφιά,όπου κι αν ευρίσκομαι σε έχω μέσα στην καρδιά.Πήγα στο Βόλο και στην Καρδίτσα,Τρίκαλα,Λάρισα.Οι Καραγκούνες με τα σιγκούνια μου κάψαν την καρδιά.Θεσσαλία μου γλυκιά με την κούπα αγκαλιά,όπου κι αν ευρίσκομαι σε έχω μέσα στην καρδιά.

Căluşari/Ηorsemen/Καβαλάρηδες



Căluş is a male dance of southern Romania(Oltenia/Wallachia Minor).Etymologically all these variants can be traced back to the Romanian word cal (horse), which in turn derived from the Latin caballus. The tradition is also played by the Vlachs (Aromanians) of Serbia and Bulgaria, and hence was introduced into the folklore of Bulgaria under the same name, spelled "Kalushar"/"Kalushari".(The video is from Serbia)(more)

the ritual probably derived from ancient purification and fertility rites using the symbol of the horse, which was worshipped as an embodiment of the sun. The ritual’s name derives from the Căluş, the wooden part of the horse’s bridle.
According to tradition, groups of dancing and chanting Căluşari, who were thought to be endowed with magical healing powers, went from house to house, promising good health and prosperity to villagers.

The first Dove/to próto Peristéri


Let the sharp knife go deep my chest inside/Let the first sunshine,the first dove arise

Βefore the grace of sky,the rose stands intact /What wave,what girl kisses first the unwithered grass?

Through suns and skies I see you tear-stained/Like a star,sprinkled by clouds of pain

Like a swallow I convey,seas,forests and mountains /What separation parted us,what fate unifies?


Το κοφτερό να πάει βαθιά στο στήθος μου μαχαίρι/Ο πρώτος ήλιος να φανεί το πρώτο περιστέρι

Στέκει το ρόδο απείραχτο μπρός στου ουρανού τη χάρη/Ποιό κύμα,ποιά πρωτοφιλεί το αμάραντο χορτάρι;

Μέσα απο ήλιους κι ούρανους σε βλέπω δακρυσμένη/Σαν άστρο που το νότισε λύπη συννεφιασμένη

Πέλαγα,δάση και βουνά φέρνω σαν χελιδόνι/Ποιός χωρισμός μας χώρισε,ποιά μοίρα μας ενώνει;


Në gjoksin tim të shkoj, thika e mprehtë/ I pari pëllumb, të duket i pari diell

Shega e paprekur qëndron mbi bukurinë e qiellit/ Cil dallgë, cila puth e para gjelbërimin e freskët?

Mes yjesh dhe qiejsh , të shoh të përlotur/ Si yll që e vesoi, hidhërim’ i vrenjtur

Dete, pyje dhe male, i sjell si dallëndyshe/Cila ndarje na ndau, ç’fat na mban bashkuar?(N.Ago)
