- 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.

it's understandable why so many versions of this song interpret it as being very slow and mournful-it is literally inscribed on a gravestone. that being said, i feel like this interpretation makes way more sense for a song whose opening lyrics are something like "While you live, shine / have no grief at all".
it's not just "remember, you will die" it's "you're going to die one day, so embrace joy in the now". why wouldn't it be a happy song!
2000 years later and this song still being performed.
Seikilos would have been proud of his accomplishments.
2000 years and only 30k views damn
Share it share it !!
The lyrics to the song were written on a women's grave stone by her husband how succeed her. His name was Kilos
I have been ill will pneumonia and COVID-19 and this song has lifted me out of a dark place. God bless you 🤧🤗😘
This is the first time I have heard this rendition and it sounds so beautiful and uplifting!
Thank you so much for your comment
Mozart's been pretty quiet since this dropped
This song is still appropriate today, While you live, shine, let nothing grieve you, For life is short, and time will demand it's due. To me this means... Make the best of the life you have, shine, don't live in sadness,. For time will demand it's due.
I am in awe. Their rendition, although a bit modernized, breathes new life in to this song which is one of my favorites! Beautiful. They are very talented.

As far you live, shine...
Dont be sad...
Cause life is short...
And time demands an end.
A tribute of Seikilos to his beloved Efterpi (wife/daughter/sister/) that died.
Or as we say in our days YOLO.
I’ve never listening to Greek music until I heard this beautiful song ❤️
Wow, thank you very much for share! Hope can we up more videos. A big hug from both 🥰🙏🏻
I love this song
Are you aware that this is the oldest music piece we have? 1800 years at least.
Very beautiful interpretation! I really enjoyed it! I'm still very amazed that you are playing a piece that's over 2000 years old and that I can listen to it today. Truly magnificent! (:
Thank you dear :)
Finally a vivid and graceful interpretation of this beautiful ancient song celebrating life! Thank you, it really touched my hearth!
Shred on that lyre!
Nice upbeat version of this beautiful old song.
I closed my eyes and for a few seconds I was in the dales of Arcady. Wonderful!
This is my favorite of any rendition of the song. Amazing vocals and instrumentals!

Maravilloso. Gracias por intentar devolvernos la magia de nuestros primeros sonidos.
Gracias a ti! Ya que es el apoyo de las personas que nos siguen que podemos continuar viviendo de nuestra profesión y trabajar para seguir subiendo contenido, creando más arreglos y música para nuestro tiempo. Casos de ambos desde Taiwan 😃🙏🏻❤️
hermoso!!!!!!!! no conocìa el epitafio y es bellisimo. Ya encontre una partitura y lo estoy cantando. hermosa version. saludos desde argentina
Absolutamente... hermoso tema
Así es, confieso que es una de las pocas canciones que al practicarlas me emocionaba hasta el punto de asomarse las lagrimas. Gracias por comentar querida. Abrazos de ambos desde Taiwán. ❤️
Opino lo mismo que tú. Saludos desde España
Very good! Linda interpretação e música! Saudações do Brasil!
Hello, @YK band! I was studying music history and found you. I don’t know this instruments. Could you tell me their names? I will appreciate. Thanks.

Indonesia Banda Aceh 07-07-2022 🥳🥳🥳
This is wonderful! Thank you ❤️
Thank you dear
Preciosa canción. Por un momento me he encontrado con Euripides, Sofocles o Esquilo
Muchas gracias!!
Seguir haciendo una música para desaperecer en un sosiego infinito. 👏👏👏
Esta versión es bellísima. Conocía sólo la de Corvus Corax, que es mucho más dolorosa, y creo tocada/cantada en un modo distinto. Esta me ha gustado mucho, y por lo menos *hoy*, me parece que va mejor con el sentimiento de la lírica. Excelente trabajo (y gracias por el español!) Pregunta, hay forma de conseguir una versión de audio de ésto? gracias!
Mucha gracias por tus palabras y compartir tus sentimientos con nosotros.
seguramente saldrá un album el año que vienen que incluirás nuestro arreglo.
Por ahora si quieres puedes pasarte por nuestro Spotify (YK band). open.spotify.com/track/2PjUwgcY0NmHuyFZSmPByh?si=TafAErk1TpKqlf_wdvzX8g

Thanks dear! A big hug 😃🙏🏻
Thank's for Your courage
So nice song
That was very beautiful! How did they figure out how the song went?
Well, there’re notes on the inscription
You are great, your voice, your play everything! But just one comment (constructive I think) don't laugh while you are singing. It is an epitaph, a song that a broken hearted man wrote for his deceased wife, and the lyrics do also denote sadness and vanity.
Hi dear, 😃
Thanks for your comment, but you're really out of context. I'll explain you;
Do you know what the real name of this song?
Not. Nobody knows. It's always known as "the epitaph of Seikilos".
But thinking like that is a mistake. The song maybe could be called "while you live shines" Ὅσον ζῇς, φαίνου. That is a phrase from the song.
So, it's precisely the smile and happiness of our arrangement of the "Seikilos Epitaph" makes it special version. This song was discovered in an epitaph, does not mean is a funeral march.
Also, could be a cheerful way to say goodbye to a person you love.
In this video, the audience is singing with us; while you live shines.
The words and feelings of the music should not be tied to the conditions of the messenger. A warm hug. And thanks again ❤️
@@YKband Hi! Thanks for your answer. I am greek so I know very well what it means. It means in an abstract but accurate translation " live your life as much as you can, because you will die one day" and he writes it full of regret that he did not do so, and now his beloved one is gone. Anyway, I guess that if it works for you like this, you know much better. It just did not work for me when I heard the words accompanied with a smile. Best wishes and stay safe!
And just one minor addition. As you said noone knows the name but it was called "the epitaph of Seikilos" because it was found on the tomb of Seikilos wife written by him.
