"Once the Wave Falls Asleep" is an old traditional Greek polyphonic melody performed here by Thanasis Kleopas, the Wandering Melodist, on the ancient lyre and accompanied by Tolis Preponis on the yayli tambur.
The melody comes from the rugged and mountainous lands of Epirus, telling the story of a love-struck young man waiting for everyone to fall asleep to visit his loved one secretly. Its lyrics are highly poetic, describing how the whole of nature will fall asleep before he makes his first move (check the full lyrics at the end of the description).
Thanasis sings and plays on a custom LUTHIEROS ancient lyre, masterfully handcrafted for him in Greece by the Koumartzis family. What's more, the video session took place inside the Akron Art Centre, an exquisite art workshop on Santorini Island, Greece.

🇬🇷 🎶 Lyrics in Greek
Μόλις κοιμηθεί το κύμα
(παραδοσιακό πολυφωνικό της Ηπείρου)
Μόλις κοιμηθεί το κύμα,
θα κάνω το πρώτο βήμα.
Θα 'ρθω να σε πάρω,
δεν αντέχω άλλο.
Μόλις κρυφτει το φεγγάρι,
ξύπνησε και το καμάρι.
Θα 'ρθω...
Μόλις μαραθούν τα χόρτα,
άνοιξε γλυκά τη πόρτα.
Θα 'ρθω...
Ωχ γραμμένο χελιδόνι,
εύγα έξω στο μπαλκόνι.
🇬🇧 🎶 Lyrics in English
Once the wave falls asleep
(traditional polyphonic of Epirus)
Once the wave falls asleep,
I'll make the first move.
I'll come and get you,
I can't wait anymore.
As soon as the moon is hidden,
my pride awakens.
I'll come...
As soon as the grass withers,
open the door sweetly.
I'll come...
Oh, my sweet swallow,
come out on your balcony.
