Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ

Γεια σας παιδιά! I love this song but I just can't translate it! I tried but it didn't make much sense! Could someone help me please?

Στίχοι: Κώστας Λειβαδάς
Μουσική: Γιώργος Ανδρέου
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Ελένη Τσαλιγοπούλου

Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ
Που να 'σαι τώρα που γυρνάς
Σε ποιο καινούργιο ουρανό χρώματα κλέβεις;
Ένιωσες πάλι τα φτερά
Τι σου 'βαλε ξανά φωτιά
Σε ποιο λιμάνι, ποιο σταθμό, καρδιά γυρεύεις;

Πώς να κρατήσει το κορμί απόψε η νύχτα
Τώρα ο κόσμος έχει χάσει μια στροφή
Εγώ δε μίλησα, για θαύματα δεν είπα
Δε σου στάθηκε κανένας πιο πολύ

Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ
Με τα φεγγάρια της βροχής
Περίμενες τόσο καιρό να ξαποστάσεις
Έφτανε να χαμογελάς
Να σε κοιτάζω όταν ξυπνάς
Κι ούτε που σκέφτηκα ποτέ πως θα ξεχάσεις

Παραμυθάκι μου σκληρό
Όπου κι αν είσαι και γυρνάς
Για μένα εκεί να μη ρωτάς
Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ.

I just wanted to take another shot...in case some good-hearted, helpful people around failed to notice this one... Would highly be appreciated if someone could give me a hand with the translation of the song above...Thanks in advance..

I'll give it a try, Filiz mou. Just let me finish these other lyrics I'm translating now. Oh, and.. make some coffee at 3 am.

hi! it's cool that I bumped onto this forum and this thread!!

I had tried to translate this song some time ago for some thing I needed it to, so here you are. it's hard to translate it indeed , and I'm not sure if my attempt is succesful! as most of Leivadas' lyrics anyway. try to translate "Kathe minas Avgoustos" or "Moita mou egines" or "Paidia ton dromon" for instance , hard job hehe


Ego s'agapisa edo I loved you here
Pou'na se tora , pou yirnas Where are you now? where are you wandering?
Se pion kenourgio ourano hromata klevis? Which new sky are you stealing colours from?
Enioses pali ta ftera You felt again the call of your wings
Ti sou'vale ksana fotia What did it set you on fire for another time?
Se pio limani , pio stathmo kardia girevis? In which port ,in which station are you seeking for a heart?

Pos na kratisi to kormi apopse i nichta How will the body keep holding on this night
Tora o kosmos ehi hasi mia strofi Now that the world has missed a turn
Ego den milisa, yia thavmata den ipa I never promised,never talked about miracles
De sou stathike kanenas pio poly Nobody stood by you more than me

Ego s'agapisa edo I loved you here
Me ta feggaria tis vrohis With the moons of the rain
Perimenes toso kero na ksapostasis you waited for so long to rest
Eftane na hamogelas A smile from you would be enough
Na se kitazo otan ksipnas I wanted to look at you when you wake up
Ki oute pos skeftika pote pos tha ksehasis But , never thought that you'd forget

Paramithaki mou skliro My little hard fairytale
Opou ki an ise ki an yirnas wherever you are, wherever you're wandering
Yia mena eki na mi rotas Don't ask about me there
Ego s'agapisa edo cause I loved you here

Geia sou Niko! Thank you so much for the translation. It sounds great in English, I mean perfectly comprehensible and authentic..There's an expression we use in Turkish, we say "it doesn't smell like translation". Yours certainly has no such smell..Thank you again..
