Thanasis Kleopas - Ancient Greek Lyre , vocals

The video was made by Dimitrios Drisas in the ancient site of the Temple of Apollo (Kolona) in Aegina.

Ο Σείκιλος έζησε στις Τράλλεις της Μικράς Ασίας κατά το 200 μ.Χ. Είναι γνωστός για το αρχαιότερο παγκοσμίως γνωστό τραγούδι, του οποίου σώζονται πλήρως και οι στίχοι και η μουσική.

The Seikilos epitaph is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world. The epitaph has been variously dated, but seems to be either from the 1st or the 2nd century CE. The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone (a stele) from the Hellenistic town of Tralles near present-day Aydın, Turkey, not far from Ephesus. It is a Hellenistic Ionic song in either the Phrygian octave species or Iastian tonos. While older music with notation exists (for example the Hurrian songs), all of it is in fragments; the Seikilos epitaph is unique in that it is a complete, though short, composition.[1]

Oι στίχοι στα Αρχαία Ελληνικά

ΟΣΟΝ ΖΗΣ ΦΑΙΝΟΥ,
ΜΗΔΕΝ ΟΛΩΣ ΣΥ ΛΥΠΟΥ.
ΠΡΟΣ ΟΛΙΓΟΝ ΕΣΤΙ ΤΟ ΖΗΝ,
ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ Ο ΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΑΠΑΙΤΕΙ.

Οι στίχοι στα νεα Ελληνικά

Όσο ζεις λάμπε,
καθόλου μη λυπάσαι.
Για λίγο διαρκεί η ζωή,
ο χρόνος απαιτεί την πληρωμή του.

The lyrics in English

While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due.
