Ineni is a soul song inspired by Ancient Egyptian history & mythology.
It is a tale of forbidden love between a commoner and the Queen.

Στίχοι - Lyrics

Στο φως του δειλινού
σε αναζητώ,
σε καρτερώ.
Και στις σκιές της νύχτας,
δίνεσαι,
χάνεσαι.
Θα 'θελα να κρυφτώ
μες στα χείλη σου,
σαν άλλοτε.
Κι ας με πάρει ο καιρός
σε ένα άστρο μακρινό.

Πάνω στου Νείλου τα νερά,
περνώ τις μέρες μου αργά.
Το κάθε χρώμα της αυγής,
το τέλος κάποιας εποχής.
Με κόπο, δάκρυ, προσευχές,
στο σώμα αμέτρητες πληγές.
Μα όλα χάθηκαν με μιας
σε δυό μάτια αιθερικά.

Και των Θεών οι προσταγές,
ανθρώπων γίνονται φωνές.
Μεσά στο πλήθος μια μορφή,
απόκρυφη, περαστική.
Κι οι ιερείς σε προσκυνούν,
μέγιστο θαύμα του ουρανού.
Και δύο κόρες στα λευκά
να σου πλέκουν τα μαλλιά.

Και ένα βράδυ βροχερό
μες στο παλάτι σου θα μπω.
Σε πέρα δώματα κρυφά
πλαγιάζει η κόρη του Βορρά.
Με μύρα, άνθη και ευχές,
σε ευλογούνε δυό Θεές.
Κι εγώ στο σκότος σιωπηλά
να περιμένω μια ματιά.

Στο φως του δειλινού
σε αναζητώ,
σε καρτερώ.
Με τις σκιές της νύχτας,
ντύνεσαι,
χάνεσαι.
Κι οι ιερείς σε προσκυνούν,
μέγιστο θαύμα του ουρανού.
Και δύο κόρες στα λευκά
να σου πλέκουν τα μαλλιά.


Rough English Translation


In the light of the dusk,
I look for you,
I am awaiting.
To the nights' shadows,
you give yourself,
you vanish.
I want to hide
between your lips
like before.
And may the times take me
to a faraway star.

Upon the Nile's waters
I pass my days slowly.
For every colour of the dawn,
the ending of a season.
Struggles, tears, prayers,
countless scars on my body.
But everything vanished
in two ethereal eyes.

And the Gods' commandments
become people's voices.
Among the crowd,
a passing mystical figure.
And the priests worship you,
oh great miracle of the Heavens.
And two girls in white dresses
weave your hair.

On a rainy night,
I'll enter your palace.
In faraway hidden chambers,
the daughter of the North is sleeping.
With incense, flowers and wishes,
two Goddesses are blessing you.
And I await silently in darkness,
for just one look.

In the dawn's light,
I look for you,
I am awaiting.
With the nights' shadows,
you dress yourself,
you vanish.
And the priests worship you,
oh great miracle of the Heavens.
And two girls in white dresses
weave your hair.

A few words from the artist:

Carousel Waltz is an orchestral piece coming from the creative era that led to the album Ι.

Carousel never made it on that record because of its contrast with the rest of the material that comprise Ι.

There are many compositions from the Ι era that did not make it on the record but Carousel differed due to its peculiarity and unique stature. For this reason, I decided to release it as a single.  

This Waltz was composed and arranged on March 2015 but its core came to be on February 2011 in the ghettos of North York, Ontario.

I would love to talk about Carousel's symbolism but I do not wish to mark it permanently with my own interpretation!

Carousel Waltz

Cpyridon (pronounced: spee-ree-don) is the professional musical alias of Spyridon Politis; an independent singer, composer, and record producer. Born in Athens, he made his debut as a solo artist in 2016 through his four-track EP, ‘I’.
The next five years produced a memorable series of singles for the artist. Those are Ineni, Will You Love Again and Those Nights.

Life has always been full of music for Cpyridon. He began this journey at a very young age, performing folk music alongside a variety of ensembles. His interest in rock and heavy metal music began to form in his teenage years, which led to his involvement in the Athenian underground club scene. Some of his work in this era has survived through the single, ‘My Enemy’ from one of his former bands, My 3nemy. That particular track started his journey as a music producer and audio engineer.

At just 18, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Toronto, Canada to pursue his musical aspirations. In his newfound hometown, he took part in the underground Rock scene as a singer and continued to sharpen his craft. Yet, a newfound love for Opera soon prevailed. So, he studied voice at the Royal Conservatory of Music under maestro William Perry.
 
After many fruitful years in Canada, Cpyridon returned to his native Greece. This is where he established SunBoat Records. From then on, he has been releasing music and is eager to keep moving onward to more musical adventures. ​
