ΤΟ ΤΡΑΙΝΟ ΦΕΥΓΕΙ ΣΤΙΣ ΟΚΤΩ

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
ταξείδι για την Κατερίνη
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
το τραίνο για την Κατερίνη
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει

Σε βρήκα πάλι ξαφνικά
να πίνεις ούζο στου Λευτέρη
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
και να θυμάσαι ποιός τα ξέρει
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
μα εσύ μονάχος σου έχεις μείνει
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
μαχαίρι στη καρδιά σου εγίνει
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη

[azimut]

ΤΟ ΤΡΑΙΝΟ ΦΕΥΓΕΙ ΣΤΙΣ ΟΚΤΩ
THE TRAIN IS LEAVING AT EIGHT

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
THE TRAIN IS LEAVING AT EIGHT
ταξείδι για την Κατερίνη
(A) JOURNEY TOWARDS (DESTINATION OF) "KATERINI"
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει
THE MONTH NOVEMBER WILL NOT REMAIN
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
NOT TO REMEMBER AT EIGHT
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
NOT TO REMEMBER AT EIGHT
το τραίνο για την Κατερίνη
THE TRAIN TOWARDS "KATERINI"
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει
THE MONTH NOVEMBER WILL NOT REMAIN

Σε βρήκα πάλι ξαφνικά
I FOUND AGAIN SUDDENTLY
να πίνεις ούζο στου Λευτέρη
(YOU) DRINKING "OUZO" AT "LEFTERI'S"
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη
NIGHT (DARKNESS) WILL NOT COME AT "OTHER" PLACES
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
TO HAVE YOUR OWN "SECRETS"
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
TO HAVE YOUR OWN "SECRETS"
και να θυμάσαι ποιός τα ξέρει
AND TO REMEMBER WHO KNOWS ABOUT THEM
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη
NIGHT (DARKNESS) WILL NOT COME TO "OTHER" PLACES

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
THE TRAIN IS LEAVING AT EIGHT
μα εσύ μονάχος σου έχεις μείνει
BUT YOU, (ALL) ALONE, YOU ARE LEFT
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη
(SERVING AT) THE LOOK-OUT POST, IN "KATERINI"
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
IN THE FOG, FIVE (TILL) EIGHT
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
IN THE FOG, FIVE (TILL) EIGHT
μαχαίρι στη καρδιά σου εγίνει
A KNIFE, YOUR HEART HAS BECOME
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη
(SERVING AT) THE LOOK-OUT POST IN "KATERINI"

TREN
ayrilik sonrasi kendimi vagonumda buldum,
bir hayat, bir bavulun içinde
ölü hayallerim,
aniden ben de itis kakisin icinde,
öylesi tanidik bir ses,
ismimi söylerken cigliga dönen bir ses,
ve tren hareket etti, sen yine uzagimda.

söylemek istedim sana
seni nasil da sevdigimi bagirmak istedim
ah keske becerebilsem
bir an hayatimi degistirmeyi,
camin üzerine yazdim seni sevdigimi
ve agladigini görür görmez
akmaya basladi gözyaslarim irmak gibi,
çünkü kalbim, gec kalmistin.

gecip gider sehirler ve istasyonlar
ama sen yanimdasin hep,
senin yansimani görüyorum, benimle konusuyorsun
bir yagmur, bir rüzgar gibi,
dönemecte inmek istiyorum
ama sesim dagiliyor,
inmek istiyorum dönemeçte
kimse duymuyor beni,
artik kayboluyor tren
bir günün isigi gibi.

söylemek istedim sana
seni nasil da sevdigimi bagirmak istedim
ah keske becerebilsem
bir an hayatimi degistirmeyi,
camin üzerine yazdim seni sevdigimi
ve agladigini görür görmez
akmaya basladi gözyaslarim irmak gibi,
çünkü kalbim, gec kalmistin.

ΤΟ ΤΡΑΙΝΟ ΦΕΥΓΕΙ ΣΤΙΣ ΟΚΤΩ
THE TRAIN IS LEAVING AT EIGHT

Has this song ever been professionally translated? The melody is so nice, I wonder how the lyrics is poetically. Can anyone provide any information on whom the original poem was written by and attempt a more careful translation?

[Neslihan]

The poem was written by Manos Eleftheriou. and the song was composed by Mikis Theodorakis. The translation above is perfect... although it was not translated by a professional interpreter.. well than again perhaps he is a professional, i wouldnt know, i nkow nothing about azimut, except that his translation is really good!!

[omorfi]

The interpretor was very talented and has a true feeling for the poetic side of the translation. Of course there might be other ways to translate it, but I would have been satisfied with this one!

[Vineyards]

You misunderstand me. The translation above is very good and I believe it is accurate but as it appears, it is more like a literal translation. It tells you what the words in the poem mean but does not taste like a poem. That's why I asked whether there are any translations of this lyrics by a prominent translator or another poet?

Don't take offense at my words but we are talking about an immensely difficult job that requires ultimate professionalism. Would you trust your brain to anyone other than a brain surgeon?

[Vineyards]

I see there are some Turks here just like me. I was in Athens last summer and went to a number of Greek islands. I've found Greek music to be very similar to our own. I would like to ask you about a Greek vocalist named Aliki Kayalioglu. She has an excellent voice and she sang some very nice songs on Theodorakis Istanbul Concert tape. Did she bring out any albums of her own or did she continue to give concerts with Theodorakis? Could someone tell me what she has done in the 20+ years after the 1986 Istanbul concert?

[Neslihan]

Yeah Im Turkish too, and i also have a Greek family, though I cant remember the last time i came across something to do with Aliki.I ve just googled it and found out that she made a come back at THe Nazim Hikmet Awards ceremony..
I cant remember that 1986 concert too cos i was only a baby in 1986
Anyway, I ll check out the online archives of turkish and greek newspapers to see if she recently released anything, I'll let you know...

[omorfi]

Well I didn't take any offense, I just point out that the translation is good and interpreted in it's own way. Of course there might be possible to find a real poetic translation, but I don't know if there is anyone here to take that job. Since we now are talking about Theodorakis, a world-known composer, there might be some other translations out there. Anyway, good luck!
