Hey asi! I'm Greek and I think it's pretty great that you are learning Greek.. Although I have to warn you that it is a very difficult language...!

Yannis Ploutarchos - An ise i agapi (I you are the love)

Αν είσαι όνειρο που σβήνει την αυγή
If you are a dream that erases the dawn
ας ήταν να χαράξει θεέ μου
if only it dawned, my God
Αν είσαι δρόμος στον γκρεμό που οδηγεί
If you are a road that leads to the cliff
να μη σε γνώριζα ποτέ μου
I wish I'd never known you

Μα αν είσαι η αγάπη που περίμενα να'ρθει
But if you are the love I'd been waiting for (to come)
γύρε στο πλάϊ μου και γίνε η ζωή μου
lean by my side and be (become) my life
Τόσες περάσανε,μα χάθηκαν γιατί
So many (=means women) have passed, but they vanished because
καμμιά δεν μπόρεσε να αγγίξει την ψυχή μου
no one was able to touch my soul

Αν είσαι ήλιος χειμωνιάτικος ψυχρός
If you are cold winter's sun
πίσω απ'τα σύννεφα να μείνεις
stay behind the clouds
Αν είσαι έρωτας που γίνεται καημός
If you are love that becomes longing
φύγε πληγή μου πριν να γίνεις
go away, before you become a wound of mine

Μα αν είσαι η αγάπη που περίμενα να'ρθει
But if you are the love I'd been waiting for (to come)
γύρε στο πλάϊ μου και γίνε η ζωή μου
lean by my side and be (become) my life
Τόσες περάσανε,μα χάθηκαν γιατί
So many (means women) have passed, but they vanished because
καμμιά δεν μπόρεσε να αγγίξει την ψυχή μου
no one was able to touch my soul

Asi, there are a lot of Ploutarxos songs already translated in the forum. Use the "search" button to find them.
And there are a few I translated, trying my hand on what I'm learning. I'm gonna try and find the threads because I got a lot of help from my tutor in learning Greek around here, and in those threads you can also find useful explanations.

I learned a lot by trying to translate songs and by understanding where I did a mistake. Besides, by associating a certain expression/grammar construction/etc with an entire line from a song you'll memorize it the same time you actually understand it.

At least in my case, IT WORKED WONDERS!

That's great! You see, I'm a language freak too, except I only know german and english (very well, however).. I'm planning though to take up italian and spanish lessons after I finish school..! Anyway, if you need any help with your Greek lessons, you can count on me!! BB!!!
