song at the menu/intro


I watched the movie on a DVD, and there's a song at the menu, which is also the song at the intro. It's lounge music with ambivalent female vocal (singing in italian, greek, or neither?). I really like it but don't know what it is. I found the soundtrack song list (see below). Is it one of them? Where can i buy it or download it? Thanks.

For the non-English songs, I'd like to get lyrics and perhaps a translation if anyone is willing to do it. Especially the Greek ;-)

That one song by Mina has been on my mind and can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDu_5Cv8QRo The Italian lyrics are:

Con me tu puoi
Fumare la tua pipa quando vuoi
Perché mi piaci molto di più
E sei così romantico

Fumo blu, fumo blu
Una nuvola e dentro tu
E poi, e poi se un uomo sa di fumo
Ma sì, ma sì è veramente un uomo
E ti amerò finché vorrai
proprio perché sei così

Ta ra ta ta ta ta - ta ra ra ta ta
Un uomo (è un uomo)
Quando sa (di fumo)
ra ta ta
Un uomo (è un uomo)
Quando sa (di fumo)
E un bacio vale dieci dato da te

Lo so non sei un divo
ne un artista ne l’eroe del west
Ma quando fumi
c’è in te un che di irresistibile

Fumo blu, fumo blu
Una nuvola e dentro tu
E poi e poi se un uomo sa di fumo
Ma sì ma sì è veramente un uomo
E io t’amerò finché vorrai
proprio perché sei così

Ta ra ta ta ta ta - ta ra ra ta ta
Un uomo (è un uomo)
Quando sa (di fumo)
ra ta ta
Un uomo (è un uomo)
Quando sa (di fumo)
E un bacio vale dieci dato da te

My weak translation:

With me you can
smoke your pipe
With me whenever you want
Because you please me so much
and you are so romantic

Blue smoke, blue smoke
a cloud and within you
and then and then if a man knows of smoke
But yes, but yes he’s truly a man
and I will love until I will want
just because it’s so you

Ta ra ta ta ta ta - ta ra ra ta ta
a man (is a man)
When he knows (of smoke)
ra ta ta
A man (is a man)
When he knows (of smoke)
and a kiss is worth ten (dato?) from you

I don’t know if you are a (divo? male form of diva?)
Or an artist or a hero of the west
But when you smoke
It’s something that is irresistable

Blue smoke, blue smoke
a cloud and within you
and then and then
if a man knows smoke
But yes but yes he’s truly a man
and I will love until I will want
just because it’s so you

Ta ra ta ta ta ta - ta ra ra ta ta
a man (is a man)
When he knows (of smoke)
ra ta ta
a man (is a man)
When he knows (of smoke)
and a kiss is worth ten (dato?) from you

Which one of these songs is played in the scene where Steffie smiles at a random boy and he mouths 'virgin'.

It has to be either Afta Poy Ehoume Pote Den Ta Iktimame (Fivos Tassopoulos) or
Kapetanios O Erotas (Ioannis Eakiris). I went through the list and these are the ones I couldn't find online to download. It sounds like Greek but initially I thought it was Indian. I need to find that song. Help!
