Seikilos Epitaph with lyrics, ancient greek music, lyre & frame drum ( Acoustic Live ) ｜YK band

Ὅσον ζῇς, φαίνου (while you live shines), these are the first words of the oldest Greek song and also, the oldest preserved complete: The Epitaph of Seikilos. The adapted version with Tartessian lyre and tar by Yerko Lorca and Kuan Yin, was performed at National Chengchi University, for a didactic class on ethnic, traditional and historical music and instruments.


【Lyrics】
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι[2] τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.

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