Question about name of this song (Greek)
I'm wondering if anyone knows the name of the song that starts at around 1:40.
Thanks!

According to one of the comments below the video the two songs are " milo mou kokkino and a po po Maria". The words to chorus of the first song are
clearly sung as "o po po Maria" so perhaps the name of the second song is "Milo Mou Kokkino". I'm not hearing those words, but then I don't speak
Greek,

I looked up Milo Mou Kokkino, the versions I heard sounded really different.

Popopo Maria refers to the first song until 1:40.
Later it switches to ???????? (Jerakina):

Remarkably, the version of Nana Mouskouri is played as Syrto (8/8), instead of Kalamatiano (9/8).
Not sure, but it seems that there is also a very short intermezzo of another song. Just one verse, from 1:40 to 2:04 min. Different Melody, but
similar lyrics as Jerakina, starting also with "??????..." (Kinise...). Just a guess, maybe a greek speaking person can help out..

I think the "official" name of "Droom Droom" may be "Gerakina." I found a score in E (terrible for Arabic oud) - https://www.bethsnotesplus.com/2019/09/gerakina-yerakina.html and one in Eb, which is a a bit better (though published with weird English lyrics)

Indeed strange keys. The other score from folkdancefootnotes.org was in G. Maybe the choice of Eb is related to wind instruments (clarino)?
The scores point also to an obvious mistake in my last post: Kalamatiano is of course 7/8, not 9/8. Sorry for the confusion. Got mixed up while trying
to insert greek letters, which obviously did not work (all the question marks). It looked fine in the preview, though.
