'Darla dirladada' is a traditional song, originating from the island of Kalymnos in Greece.
Origins[edit]
July 2011 calendar windows 7 theme. It was conceived as a song that sponge divers would sing when traveling with their caïque boats across the seas. The song's lyrics contain words of encouragement and the opportunity awaiting the crew.[1]
One of the most notable recordings is that performed by Pantelis Ginnis, a Kalymnian sponge diver captain, who, in his version, is making a reference to another respected diver captain, Manolis (Emmanuel) Theodosiou, whose nickname was 'Kobalis'. Ginnis, in his version, relates the time Kobalis walked into a coffee shop where Ginnis was singing Darla dirladada.
Modern versions[edit]
In 1970 the song was recorded by French singer Dalida. It was released as a single from her album Ils ont changé ma chanson, on which it features as the sixth track. Dalida also recorded the song in Italian, German and English-language.
In the same year it was also recorded by Cypriot-American-Israeli singer Trifonas Nikolaidis in Israel and released as an EP with 2 additional songs on the B-side.[2]
It was the inspiration for the 1971 pop song Loop di Love by Juan Bastós.

The song is popular in Finland as well, recorded with Finnish lyrics by Kai Hyttinen in 1972.[5][6] Erkki Pälli, a Finnish music producer and a journalist, heard this rousing song on a holiday in Rhodos back in 1971–72 and brought it back home with him. He offered it to Kai 'Kuju' Hyttinen, who got a hit single of it. Pälli had just misheard the song and in Finland it is known as 'Dirlanda' or 'Dirlandaa'.[7] Finnish music group Jean S. has also re-covered the song.[8]
In 1995, for their fifth album, the Macedonian rock band 'Memorija', recorded a version of this song, titled 'Dirlada'.[9]
In 2018, the Romanian band D-l Goe covered the song to honour the 1st of March holiday, using an electro rock approach for the Romanian lyrics, previously used by singer Margareta Paslaru. [1]
