Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to find the lyrics (in Greek) for Kaitsis and other Rembetiko songs? I apologize for posting in English, my Greek is good enough to read but not yet to write! So you can respond in Greek.

I checked the Βάση Δεδομένων Ρεμπέτικων Τραγουδιών. I did not find Καϊκτσής lyrics (though I did find the .mp3 file, thank you!) ... Also I checked www.kithara.gr which is wonderful! But also it does not have Καϊκτσής ...

Γκελ, γκελ, καϊξή, γιαβάς, γιαβάς
Μες στης πόλης τ? ακρογιάλι, μες στη σιγαλιά
Μες στου χαρεμιού τη λίμνη
Γκελ, γκελ, καϊξή

Να κλέψω την Γκιουζέλ-Χανούμ
Σκλάβα μέσα στο κελί της κλαίει και θρηνεί
Και ζητάει τη λευτεριά της
Γκελ, γκελ, καϊξή

In the song Καϊκτσής is the Γκιουζέλ-Χανούμ that which is called in English books the "Gulhane", the cliffside rose garden of the Ottoman sultans?

Thank you!

I understand the sense of Kaitsis -- the slave girl is being stolen away to the harem -- but is the Γκιουζέλ-Χανούμ the sultan's harem? Or some other institution of the Osmanli?
