New memeber to the forum *

Ya sou !!! I am soo in love with this forum.. just found it by accident right now when searching for greek translation of lyrics.. amazing what the internet can help you with nowadays !!

Anyway, you guys rock !! I also love Greece and was fortunate to meet an amazing guys years ago and became the best of friends.. we've kept in touch over the years but hadn't seen each other in a few years so I was very happy that this year I was able to spend July and Sept with him and his friends and family who have now become my friends and family while I'm there...

I am now back on track with listening to my Greek music and have some songs that I would love to translate.. I like seeing it in Greek (phonetically written as I am still trying to learn the greek language) then english translation right under each line of the verse. better for me to get a feel for how things are said in greek.. if anyone lives in NYC and would love to hook up for drink after work and discuss our love of Greece please let me know..

I am currently listening to ouzofm.com at work when I can.. tho I wish I could get bestfm the house radio station in athens online !!!


Songs are:

Panos Kiamos new album Monima Eroteumenoi (or should i write erwteunmenos)- love the entire album.. especially "kwrista de zoume"
Also from PK- "eisai pantou" and "gineka tis zois mou"

thanos petrelis new album but especially "de me koraei o topos" and " eytyxos" which i danced in every club in greece !!

efheristo para poly everyone !!!

Hey, gori. Kalos irthes sto forum mas.

What should we start with? Kiamos and "Xwrista de zoume" perhaps?
Give me a few minutes to send a song, and I'm gonna translate the lyrics.

efheristo !!! can't wait to learn the words in greek and understand them !

"EfxAristo" Malista...

Είναι η αγάπη ένας κόσμος μαγικός

So many hours, so many days even if pass, I will endure (literally "won't get extinguished")

Ότι ένιωσα μαζί σου πάλι πίσω θα γυρίσω

Because I felt I will get back to you again

Kι όσα έχουμε να πούμε και δεν τα προλάβαμε

Well, lets continue with Petrelis then.

Eftyxws (Fortunately)

Λίγο έλειψε εξαιτίας σου να τρελαθώ
Ligo eleipse eksaitias sou na trelathw
I nearly went mad because of you

Λίγο έλειψε από εσένα να καταστραφώ
Ligo eleipse apo esena na katastrafw
I was nearly destroyed because of you

Κι ο,τι έχτιζα
Ki oti extiza
And what I've built up

Κι ο,τι έχτιζα για μια ζωή
Ki oti extiza gia mia zwi
Everything I've built up in my life

λίγο έλειψε εξαιτίας σου να γκρεμιστεί
ligo eleipse eksaitias sou na gkremistei
nearly crumbled down because of you

Μα ευτυχώς που υπάρχει ακόμα Θεός
Ma eftyxws pou yparxei akoma Theos
But fortunately God is still here

Kαι με γλύτωσε ένα λεπτό πριν μου κάνεις μεγάλο κακό
Kai me glytwse ena lepto prin mou kaneis megalo kako
And He rescued me just a moment before you did me great harm

Ευτυχώς που κι αν πέρασα τοσα πολλά
Eftyxws pou ki an perasa tosa polla
Fortunately after going through so much

τα κατάφερα και τελικά σε ξεπέρασα
ta katafera kai telika se kseperasa
I made it and I finally got over you

Σε ξεπέρασα, σε ξεπέρασα και είμαι καλά
Se kseperasa, se kseperasa kai eimai kala
I got over you, I got over you and I'm fine

Λίγο έλειψε όσα κέρδισα σε μια ζωή
Ligo eleipse osa kerdisa se mia zwi
Everything I've achieved in life

εξαιτίας σου να τα χάσω σε μία στιγμή
eksaitias sou na ta xasw se mia stigmi
I nearly lost it in a second because of you

Μα ευτυχώς που υπάρχει ακόμα Θεός ...

I hope you understand these cannot be translated literally, so what you have here is the whole meaning of the lyrics. Word-by-word translation is impossible. An would be wrong too.
