Mario Frangoulis is not a zaadzster yet, but his gifts and talent are so unique and amazing that I wanted to share them now…
“Prepare to be swept away!,” one critic wrote about “Sometimes I Dream”, the Greek tenor Mario Frangoulis’s international breakthrough album which another writer described as “bathed in the passionate atmosphere of the Mediterranean.”
His follow up album “Follow Your Heart” is also a striking collection of songs that reflect his personality and burnish the sound of his remarkable voice. In it you will experience Frangoulis in new directions, featuring gorgeous original ballads, dazzling arrangements of favorite classical melodies and a soaring duet with Alejandro Fernandez.
With his moving songs the handsome young tenor tapped a worldwide audience that showcased his versatile style, rooted in his operatic training but inspired by the energy and sound of contemporary pop. Describing the disc’s fusion of contemporary sounds and operatic vocals as “not your standard classical record”, Mario is the first to admit there’s something unusual about his style, but you have to listen to feel its magnetism and beauty…
Here are the lyrics of his “I will win, I will lose” song featured in the video above.
Vincerò, Perderò

Lyrics: Luisa Zappa Branduardi Music: Steve Wood
Nei sogni che facevo da bambino
vivevo la mia vita come un re,
avevo giorni pieni di sole,
non c’era mai dolore.
Vincero, perdero
la mia vita vivro,
io da solo dovro camminare.
Vincero, perdero
la mia strada faro,
giochero la partita della vita.
Ho avuto brevi attimi di gioia,
momenti interminabili di noia,
ho avuto giorni pieni di sole,
io so cos’e il dolore…
Vincero, perdero
la mia vita vivro,
io da solo sapro continuare.
Vincero, perdero
la mia strada ora so,
ma da solo giochero la partita della mia vita.
Un re, io certo non saro,
eppure io vivro…
Vincero, perdero
luci ed ombre io avro,
ma da solo dovro continuare.
Vincero, perdero
la mia vita sara
come un viaggio lontano da fare.
Vincero, perdero
la mia vita vivro,
io da solo dovro camminare.
Vincero, perdero
la mia strada ora so…
Vincero, perdero
la partita giochero…
Vincero, perdero
ma da solo…

I Will Win, I Will Lose
In the dreams I dreamed as a child
I lived my life as a king
My days were filled with sunshine
And there was never any pain
I will win, I will lose
I will live my life
I will have to make my way on my own
I will win, I will lose
I will create my own path
I will play the game of life
I’ve had brief moments of joy
Endless moments of boredom
I’ve had days full of sunshine
I know what pain is…
I will win, I will lose
I will live my life
I will know how to continue on my own
I will win, I will lose
Now I know my path
But I’ll play the game of life on my own
A king, I will certainly not be
And yet, I’ll live…
I will win, I will lose
I will have light and shadow
But alone I’ll have to go on
I will win, I will lose
My life will be
like a long journey to make
I will win, I will lose
I will live my life
I will have to make my way on my own
I will win, I will lose
Now I know my path…
I will win, I will lose
I will play the game…
I will win, I will lose
But alone…
