about

Toasaves opts for an open ending for this Flemish song that ends very badly in its original version. A girl goes to get wine and is urged to keep her “jug” clean. But on the way she finds a rider in her path.
While in the traditional version the rider assaults her, now in the Greek song he sings about a small flower that promised itself to him. The choir advises her to hold on tightly to her jug.

The song opens with an Ikariotikos (Greek: Ικαριώτικος), a traditional dance from Ikaria, a Greek island in the northeast of the Aegean Sea. Music and dance are the main forms of entertainment on Ikaria. Throughout the year, Icarians organize baptisms, marriages, feasts and religious festivals where one can listen and dance to traditional Icarian music.
