about

Elias Politis (Ηλίας Πολίτης, 1953-2016) was an underground comic artist active in Athens, Greece, since the early 1970s. In September 2016 he dictated to Professor Lupin a few lyrics and he ordered him to set them to music and record the song. He also explicitly demanded that the arrangement shall include a sitar. Professor went immediately to Perseas’ home studio and they recorded together a rough demo version of the song, with a midi simulation of sitar. Elias heard the song, he liked it and approved it, but complained about the absence of a real sitar. A few days later he passed to the other side.

This is the final version of the song, with a real sitar and with an extra verse (the last one), found in his notes after his death. The song is dedicated to Elias’ memory.

lyrics

Μαμά γιατρίνα και μπαμπάς ζαχαροπλάστης.
Δυο αδερφούλες ψηλομύτες αλλά κλάσ’ τις

Θα πάμε βόλτα, Κυριακή, σαν σκέτο freak show.
Από κουβέντες και τα ρέστα εγώ θα φρίξω.

Φεύγω για Ινδία, θα γυρίσω με ένα ρίκσο*,
στους κουραμπιέδες του μπαμπά σου να το ρίξω.

Ψηλά στο λόφο, δυο ώρες να περάσω,
και όσα ζήσαμε μαζί θα τα ξεχάσω.

*Ρίκσο: παραδοσιακό ινδικό όχημα.

Your mama is a doctor and your daddy a confectioner.
Two snob little sisters, but who gives a fuck about them.

We’ll go for a stroll, Sunday, like a real freak show.
Talking and the rest will make me sick.

I’m leaving for India, I’ll return with a rikso,
to crash it on your daddy’s qurabiyas.

High on the hill I’ll spent two hours,
and all that we lived together I shall forget.
