about
Madrakoukos (Dec 26) - The leader with a large nose as soft as dough and goat's feet. He loves to scare people and chase lone women at night. His delight is fear so ward him off with a bit of good cheer... (and a sprig of rosemary may also help).
lyrics
(In the intro, we have the narrator calling the kalikantzari, by their names, to come out from the underworld)
"Νά οἱ Καλκάδες! Νά τά Παγανά!
Ἐδῶ σαι μωρέ, καλο-Ψιλοβελώνη
ψιλέ καί λιγνέ, ὡσάν τό μακαρόνι;
Ἐδῶ καί σύ βρέ Παρορίτη
ἐσύ Μαντρακοῦκε Ζυμαρομύτη;
Καί σύ βρέ ᾿Ανέμη, ἐσύ Κοψομεσίτη
Κλωστή δέν ἀφήνεις, βρέ, μέσα στο σπίτι;
Ἐδῶ Τραγοποδιάρη Σμυρδάκη μαλαγάνα
Καί σύ Καρλάφτη μου Πλανήταρε Παγάνα;
Τρίμουρη Τζόγια, κι ἐσύ Τρικέρη
Σκαλούμπακα, Φάφουτα, Κάλκα ξεφτέρη;
Ἐδῶ Καλισπούδη, Μονόματε Γουρλέ
Κορκόγδη, Μπογλερίτη, Γαβεγδέμπο ζουρλέ;
Πυρπύρη, Ξουρίχτη, Γκιτζίρη, Μπιρμπίνη
Ψοφᾶτε γιά μάσα, κ' ἡ Μπάμπω σᾶς ρίχνει!
Κι ἐσύ Ξιφώτη ἐσύ Πρισκομούρη
ὅπου γκαρίζεις ὡσάν γαϊδούρι;
Κι ἐσύ Καρκαλέτσο κι ἐσύ Καημπίλη
χωμένοι στ' ἀλεύρι, στο σακκί, στο ζεμπίλι;
Ἐδῶ Βουρβούκαλκα, Διπλοτζήτη, Κολυμπάδη
Κατσιά, ᾿Αλισκάντζαρε, ᾿Ατσίδα ὁμάδι;
Τρικλοπόδη, Λυκοκάντζαρε καί σύ Σαφάκα;
Μέτουλα, Σπέρδουλε, σκοινί καί χανάκα!
Ξωτικά Παγανά, τ᾿ ἀγέρα σκορπίσματα
Οὔστ! οὔστ! ἀπό δῶ... Καλκανθρωπίσματα!
Οὔστ! οὔστ! ἀπό δῶ... Καλκανθρωπίσματα!"
(Here, Madrakoukos is calling on the kalikantzari to harass an old woman who has not put out food for them)
"Κάλκας εἶμαι, Κάλκας εἶσαι
τραγοπαίδια, Παγανά
τά τσαρούχια δέστε-λύστε
καί μᾶς πῆρε μυρουδιά
ἡ Μπαμπώ, ἡ γριά!
Τσιτσί τοῦ χοίρου μύρισε
κι ἅψε σβῆσε ἀπ' τήν ἱστιά
Γιούργια! πάνω της ριχτεῖτε!
στή Μπαμπώ στή γριά!
Χόρεψε Λάσπη καί Σβουνιά!
Καρκαράντζα σάλτα πήδα!
Χορέψτε βρέ Παλιόσκουτα
μέ τήν Παλιαντρομίδα!
Πρίν ὁ κόκορας λαλήσει
Ντού! πατῆστε τα χωριά
κι ὁ ἀρχι-Κάλκας νὰ μᾶς ζήσει!
σε καλό μας, βρέ παιδιά!
Ἡ Μπαμπώ, ἡ γριά!"

by Twelve Thousand Dayssupported by 4 fans who also own “O Madrakoukos (Ο Μαντρακούκος)”
It's hard to imagine a more magical collaboration than the dreamlike, ominous fantasy instrumentation of Alan Trench and the silken, sweetly agonizing vocals of Martyn Bates. The most beautiful, gently haunting moods are to be found throughout this album.
