Feiruz sung by Melina Kana (by Papakonstantinou)

[Ellenaki]

Can anyone help me with the translation of this song? (we have it on a compilation called 'Mondo Greece'...)
Translations in Greek or phonetic Greek or in English would be gratefully appreciated, or in all would be most excellent!!
Thank you!

I have found this for you in the big www:



Feirouz come on the balcony


so that the birds can hear you sing


so will the black cedars of Lebanon


and the pines of Ararat


Feirouz, oh my sorrows, Feirouz!


When I listen to you singing,


I always leave my heartaches


at the crossroads of life


Send me your love songs


on the wings of the southern winds


so they can pass from Gavdos


and go farther up to cover the whole country.


Feirouz, oh my sorrows,Feirouz!


listening to you sing


I have always learned to give


more then anyboby else ever will


The angles sing the archagelic psalm


and in the heat of the Beqaa


you sing and give freshness to them


Feirouz, oh my sorrows, Feirouz!


everytime I hear you sing


I leave my pain


in the crossroads of life.




Φεϊρούζ βγες στο μπαλκόνι

να σ΄ ακούσουν τα πουλιά,

του Λιβάνου οι μαύροι κέδροι

κι οι λειχήνες του Αραράτ.

Φεϊρούζ καημέ μου Φεϊρούζ

τους αναστεναγμούς μου αφήνω

στα σταυροδρόμια της ζωής.

Φεϊρούζ καημέ μου Φεϊρούζ

έμαθα πάντοτε να δίνω

όσα δεν έδωσε κανείς.

Στείλε μου το για χαμπίμπι

στις φτερούγες του νοτιά

να περάσει από τη Γαύδο

και ν' ανέβει πιο ψηλά.

Η Ευαγγελία λέει

τον αρχαγγελίτικο

και συ στης Μπεκάα τη θέρμη

τραγουδάς το ανείπωτο.
