vlepo kati oneira (HELP)

hi can someone please translate this for me?

thanks

nikos

Any details on who sings it or who wrote it? Is the title maybe "vlepo oneira"?

that could be it. i think it might be Nikos Vertis

OK...I'm still not sure; I found one song with each title but not the name associated Verths with either. Can you tell me a. is it new or old, b. ANY pieces of text you can make out?

i dont need the song, just what does that mean? lol

"I see something..." dream?

Oh, yes. It means literally "I see some dreams" with the emphasis on "some". In English I would translate it as "I've been seeing some weird dreams" depending on the context, or simply just
"I see THESE dreams" where THESE doesn't refer to anything specific. As an example: "I see these dreams at night and they all have a dog chasing my grandmother in them but it's always a different dog" but NOT "I see these dreams...dog and it's a sequence of five replays and I see it again and again every night in the same way".
Does that make sense? I tried but it depends also on the context. Are you sure the singer wasn't Nikos Terzis cuz that name came up when I search for "vlepo oneira" and for "vlepo kati oneira" the name Triantafyllidis came up.

hi, and thank you so much. It might be Nikos Terzis.

the question i have is this...

"kati" means something, right? so how do i know when it can mean also "some"?

That part is confusing to me.

But thanks again for translating it.
have a great weekend

Nikos

Hi Nikos,
oops I guess it does mean SOME not THESE as I said above. Boy, I really am an amateur :P
But aside from that what I said above still applies.
As for some vs something, here is an example:
"Thelo kati na fao (Θέλω κάτι να φάω)" means "I want something to eat"
whereas
"Den ta bastao kati tetoia (Δεν τα βαστάω κάτι τέτοια)" means "I don't hold such things" literally, or in English we'd say "I don't buy that" like when someone is trying to fool you.

Generally if "kati" is referring to something plural then it means "some" or "such" or "these"
or "such kind of" rather than "something" specific.

Cheers,
the Onos

Because I like procrastinating from my work, but it's the weekend...here goes

Βλέπω Όνειρα---Vlepo Oneira (literally "I see dreams" but actually means simply "I dream")

Στίχοι: Τάσος Βουγιατζής (Lyrics Tasos Vougiatzis)
Μουσική: Νίκος Τερζής (Music Nikos Terzis)
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Στέλλα Γεωργιάδου (First Performance: Stella Georgiadou)

Βλέπω τη ζωή να φεύγει να περνάει I see life leaving, passing
το φιλί γυαλί να πέφτει και να σπάει the kiss like glass falling and breaking
την καρδιά που σ΄αγαπά χίλια κομμάτια the heart which loves you (in) a thousand pieces
τρέχω να σε βρω με δάκρυα στα μάτια I run to find you with tears in my eyes
Βλέπω μια σκιά στο τοίχο κολλημένη I see a shadow stuck on the wall
μες στα μάτια με κοιτάζει και σωπαίνει in the eyes it looks at me and it becomes silent
όλη νύχτα λέω πάλι τ΄ονομά σου all night I repeat again your name
πόσο σ΄αγαπάω πόσο για φαντάσου how much I love you, just imagine

Βλέπω όνειρα I see dreams (i.e. I'm dreaming)
και τρελλαίνομαι and I go crazy
πως μ΄αφήνεις ξαφνικά that you're leaving me suddenly
και πως σε χάνω and that I'm losing you
Βλέπω όνειρα I see dreams
κι όλο σκέφτομαι and I'm always thinking
πως αν φύγεις μακριά μου how if you leave to go far away from me
θα πεθάνω that I will die

Βλέπω τη βροχή να πέφτει και δακρύζω I see the rain falling and I tear up
σαν να είσαι εδώ το νιώθω σ΄ότι αγγίζω like you're here I feel it in anything I touch
κάνει παγωνιά κι ο φόβος μεγαλώνει it's cold and fear is growing
δεν υπάρχεις πια και πως να ζήσω μόνη you don't exist any more and how will I live alone

Βλέπω όνειρα I see dreams
και τρελλαίνομαι and I go crazy
πως μ΄αφήνεις ξαφνικά that you'll leave me suddenly
και πως σε χάνω and that I'm losing you
Βλέπω όνειρα I see dreams
κι όλο σκέφτομαι and I'm always thinking
πως αν φύγεις μακριά μου how if you leave to go far away from me
θα πεθάνω that I will die

I hope it's the right song!
