Ερωτικά
Γιάνης Βηλαράς, 1816
An Enlightenment doctor from Ioannina wrote these love songs in the spoken Greek of the fields. They are frank, playful, and startlingly modern.
Γιάνης Βηλαράς
1771–1823
Velaras, a physician and revolutionary, wrote his verse in the demotic Greek people actually spoke. He was already drinking with Byron's circle in Metsovo when his collected love poems circulated as a banned manuscript.
Feels like love, longing and passion.
The world calls love a great suffering. He takes out a scale and proves otherwise.
Λεν ο κόσμος, η αγάπηέχει βάσανα πολλά·εγώ λέγω πως σε τούτοδε στοχάζονται καλά.Νύχτα ημέρα να παθαίνω,μια στιγμή τ’ αλησμονώ,μότι να καλαντικρύσωτα ματάκια που πονώ.Πάρτε, όσα κι αν θελήστε,δάκρυα, πάθια, στεναγμούς,ούτε έναν μην αφήστεοχ τους δάρτες και καϋμούς. Books by Γιάνης Βηλαράς
