Αμάν...
Πρέπει νά σκέφτεται κανείς την ώρα του θανάτου, ότι θα μπεί στη μαύρη γής καί σβήνει τόνομά του.

Aman...
Let each one stop and think about the hour of death. Into the black earth he will sink and his name will be erased.

Recorded in Athens 1934. Rita Abadzi (vocals), Lambros Savaïdis (kanonaki) and Dimitris Semsis (violin).

The word "Αμάν" (Aman) is an expression of despair and frustration and used in Greece and the Near/ Middle East.

The expression "μαύρη γή" (black earth) represents not only death, but also exile in a foreign land, such as the kind experienced by Abadzi and the thousands of Greeks which escaped from Smyrna and Asia Minor.

In the case of Gazeli Neva Sabah, "μαύρη γή" alludes to physical death itself and also to the death of Greek culture in Asia Minor following the catastrophe of 1922 and the expulsion of the Greek population.
3000 years of Hellenism in Asia Minor has been snuffed out virtually overnight and, as the song says, "σβήνει το όνομά του" - its name erased.
