need help translating Elli Kokkinou songs for a school project

[21roula]

Hi all,

I'm doing a school project on Greek pop music and have decided to research songs by Elli Kokkinou, as I really liked her songs when we visited there in the summer of 2005. I don't really need the Greek lyrics although they would be helpful, but what I really need to know is what the songs are about in English, so I can tell my teacher and the class. The songs are:
Gine
Tha perimeno
Pare me

Thanks so much!
P.s. I need them by tomorrow, Jan. 17/07

[amblivious]

well if you search the song im sure you'll find them but yea
heres PARE ME

TAKE ME

Light suffuse me with light
The earth and the sky
when you showed

My love I have so many things to tell you
infront of you though I forget my words
I sent you flowers yersteday
and there was also a card that was saying

Come and take me
and make me a piece of you
with your two hands undress me
with one your I love you dress me up
Come and take me
and make me a piece of you
close me into your world
Blow my love and dissolve me

dissolve me , dissolve me

how can i explain to you how
for me you are God
A God I worshipped

this was in the Desipna Vandi/ Elli Kokkinou post
it wasnt actually me who translated it
it was tzina772000

My dear "21roula"


You, "youngsters", never cease to "amaze" me, with your ... "pret-a-porte", "culture" and, ... "last minute . com", "attitude" ... !!! ... !!! LOL !!! ... ...


I am quite "sure" there are a "few" people in "here" who could "get" the "lyrics" for you ... and (as I always "say" cause it's "true" !!!), ... IF, I am "fast" enough, I would "gladly" give you an ... "interpretation" ... there of ... ... ... !!! ...


"Good Luck" ... (cause that is what, it is "about" ... !!! ... =) ... ) ...

Gine - Become

Ta matakia sou ta fotina
Your shiny little eyes
Miazoun me karawia wradina
Resemble with nightly ships
Pare me taksidi makrino
Take me on a trip far away
Na me chaso, na me ksanawro
To get lost, to find me again

Chorus:
Gine erotas mou, gine
Become my love, become
Anige kai kline ta parathirakia tis kardias mou
Open and close the little windows of my heart
Gine erotas mou, gine
Become my love, become
Sti zoi mou mine san astrofeggia
Stay in my life like the starlights
Gine thalassa mou, gine
Become my see, become
Tis foties mou swine
Tie down my fires
Sta wathia kai aperanta filia sou
In your deep and immensely kisses
Pare tin wrochi ton asterion
Take the rain of the star
Na pies, thelo na methas gia mas kai na m'agapas
To drink, I want you to get drunk for us and that you love me

Pairno t'asimi tou feggariou
I take the silver from the moon
Tin anasa tou kalokairiou
The breath of the summer
Kimata, galazio kai antilia
Waves, light blue and glare
Kai sta dino se mia agkalia
And I put all of this in one hug

Chorus

[Liki]

Tha perimeno - I will wait

Den exei noima zoi xoris esena
Life has no sense without you
Miazei me prologo xoris kirios thema
It resembles with preface without mainly subject
Kai o kosmos mataios fantazei sto mialo mou
And the world useless strikes in my brain
Ta panta ise esi gia afto kai ego moro mou
You are everything, that's why my baby...

Chorus:
Tha perimeno, Tha se perimeno
...I will wait, I will wait for you
Agapi mou oso kai na chriasti
My love as long as it takes
Ego tha meno, tha se perimeno
I will remain, I will wait for you
Akoma ki an mou parei mia zoi
Still even though it will take a life
Tha perimeno, tha se perimeno
I will wait, I will wait for you
Chronia tha kano an thes ipomoni
I will have patience for years if you want to
Edo tha meno kai tha perimeno
I will remain here and will wait
Mechri tin mera pou tha 'rtheis esi
Until that day you would come

San dipsasmeni gi tha perimeno
Like the thirsty earth I will wait
Na feris sti zoi mou ti wrochi
That you'll bring rain in my life
Na pio ap' to soma sou to latremeno ena gliko fili
That I drink a sweet kiss from your diefied mouth
Ta wradia panta moni tha petheno
The evenings I will always die alone
Ospou n'anastisis to proi
Until you will call me back to life in the morning
Giati ise esi aftos pou perimeno, i idia mou i zoi
Because you are that one I'm waiting for, my own life

Lipis kai tipota kala de mou pigeni
You are absent and anything goes wrong
San ena party pou den irthan kalesmeni
Like a party where visitors didn't come
Monacha esi boris tin aniksi na feris
Only you can bring the spring
Gia afto moro mou ego sto leo na to kseris
That's why I'm telling you this my baby...

Chorus

[Liki]

Though I wrote the lyrics down with latin letters, here you can see the lyrics
again with greek letters:



Γίνε

Τα ματάκια σου τα φωτεινά
Πάρε με ταξίδι μακρινό
να με χάσω, να με ξαναβρώ

Γίνε ερωτάς μου γίνε, άνοιγε και κλείνε
τα παραθυράκια της καρδιάς μου
Γίνε ερωτάς μου γίνε, στην ζωή μου μείνε
σαν αστροφεγγιά
Γίνε θάλασσά μου, γίνε, τις φωτιές μου σβήνε
στα βαθιά και απέραντα φιλιά σου
Πάρε την βροχή των αστεριών
να πιεις, θέλω να μεθάς
για μας και να μ' αγαπάς

Παίρνω τ' ασημί του φεγγαριού
την ανάσα του καλοκαιριού
Κύματα, γαλάζιο, και αντηλιά
και στα δίνω σε μια αγκαλιά
----


Θα περιμένω

Δεν έχει νόημα ζωή χωρίς εσένα
Μοιάζει με πρόλογο χωρίς κυρίως θέμα
Και ο κόσμος μάταιος φαντάζει στο μυαλό μου
Τα πάντα είσαι εσύ γι αυτό και εγώ μωρό μου

Θα περιμένω, θα σε περιμένω
αγάπη μου, όσο και να χρειαστεί
Εγώ θα μένω, θα σε περιμένω
ακόμα και αν μου πάρει μια ζωή
Θα περιμένω, θα σε περιμένω
χρόνια θα κάνω αν θες υπομονή
Εδώ θα μένω, και θα περιμένω
μέχρι την μέρα που θα’ ρθείς εσύ
Σαν διψασμένη γη θα περιμένω
να φέρεις στην ζωή μου την βροχή
Να πιω απ το στόμα σου το λατρεμένο
ένα γλυκό φιλί
Τα βράδια πάντα μόνη θα πεθαίνω
ώσπου να μ’ αναστήσεις το πρωί
Γιατί είσαι εσύ αυτός που περιμένω
η ίδια μου η ζωή

Λείπεις και τίποτα καλά δεν μου πηγαίνει
Σαν ένα πάρτι που δεν ήρθαν καλεσμένοι
Μονάχα εσύ μπορείς την άνοιξη να φέρεις
Γι’ αυτό μωρό μου εγώ στο λέω να το ξέρεις
---


Πάρε με

Φως πλημμύρισε με φως
η γη κι ο ουρανός
σαν φάνηκες εσύ
Αγάπη μου έχω τόσα να σου πω
μπροστά σου όμως τα λόγια μου ξεχνώ
Τριαντάφυλλα σου έστειλα εχθές
και κάρτα σου είχα γράψει που έλεγε

Έλα πάρε με
κι ένα σου κομμάτι κάνε με
Με τα δυο σου χέρια γδύσε με
μ' ένα σ' αγαπώ σου ντύσε με

Έλα πάρε με
κι ένα σου κομμάτι κάνε με
Στο δικό σου κόσμο κλείσε με
φύσα αγάπη μου και σβήσε με

Πώς να σου εξηγήσω πώς
για μένα είσαι Θεός
Θεός που λάτρεψα
Αγάπη μου έχω τόσα να σου πω...
