Magiko Vouno
Mario Frangoulis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Το μαγικό βουνό
Του αλχημιστή το θησαυρό
Ψάχναν δυο φίλοι κάποτε να βρουν
Και τη χαρά να μοιραστούν

Ξεκίνησαν μαζί
Μα γρήγορα έγιναν εχθροί
Ο ένασ ζήταγε να βρει χρυσό

Ο άλλοσ το αθάνατο νερό

Ποτέ τα αστέρια μη ρωτάσ
Τι κρύβουνε για μασ
Σε ποιο όνειρο χρωστάσ
Ο δρόμοσ είναι τησ καρδιάσ
Κι αυτό που αγαπάσ
Εκεί να αναζητάσ

Το μαγικό βουνό
Του αλχημιστή το θησαυρό
Δυο φίλοι ψάχναν κάποτε να βρουν
Κι απ' τουσ καημούσ τουσ να σωθούν

Τουσ χώρισε η ζωή
Η δύση κι η ανατολή

Ο ένασ βρήκε ένα μυστικό
Κι ο άλλοσ βρήκε ένα βουνό

Overall Meaning

The song "Magiko Vouno" by Mario Frangoulis tells the story of two friends who set out to find the treasure of an alchemist on a magical mountain. However, their quest for riches and eternal life leads to discord and they become enemies. One friend seeks to find gold, while the other seeks the elixir of life. Ultimately, they are separated by the west and east and find different discoveries: one finds a secret and the other finds a mountain.

The lyrics caution against seeking material possessions and the pursuit of eternal life, as they can lead to negative consequences and the loss of friendships. It reminds listeners to cherish the journey and not just the destination, and to follow their hearts and passions rather than chasing after wealth or immortality. The song emphasizes the importance of friendship and sharing the joys of life with others.
