Question Seen on eBay recently, a 1982 Greek LP by Giorgos & Nikos Tzavaras, transliterated titled "Pou Tha Pas." One of the tracks is credited to Dylan, with Greek lyrics by poet Dimitris Iatropoulos. The song's transliterated title is "Otan Arhizis." I don't have the Greek-alphabet titles for the song or the LP. The seller doesn't know what song it is. On-line translators say Otan=When, but find no matches for Arhizis. The Greek title may not be a direct translation of the original title.
Does anyone with a knowledge of Greek and/or this record have an idea what Dylan song it might be?

I sent your question to SeasickSailor (he's Greek). That what he answered:

Wow! I've never heard of the artists or the album or the songs. Weird. The LP is called "Where will you go". The song title is "When you start". The verb is in a bit of a funny tense so, in terms of actual meaning, it would be more like "Whenever you start" or "Each time you start"... doesn't ring any bells in terms of Dylan songs. Perhaps they only used the music? That would be a strange thing to do!

Hmmmm....

I've sent a few e-mails and posted in a few forums, so far no answer...

Here's the LP on eBay: Tzavaras Greek LP
