[y!]

Του κάτω κόσμου τα πουλιά

Φαρμακωμένος ο καιρός παραμονεύει
μες τα στενά του κάτω κόσμου να σε βρει
και δεκατρείς αιώνες άνεργος γυρεύει
την κιβωτό σου και το αίμα να σου πιει

Σε καρτερούν μαστιγωτές και συμπληγάδες
μες τα μαλάματα μια νύφη ξαγρυπνά
κι έχει στ' αυτιά της κρεμασμένες τις Κυκλάδες
κι ειν' το κρεβάτι της λημέρι του φονιά

Κρυφά τα λόγια τα πικρά μες το κοχύλι
κρυφά της θάλασσας τα μάγια στο βοριά
θα σβήσει κάποτε στο σπίτι το καντήλι
και μήτε πόρτα θα 'βρεις μήτε κλειδαριά

Του κάτω κόσμου τα πουλιά και τα παγώνια
με φως και νύχτα σου κεντούν μια φορεσιά
άνθρωποι τρίζουν κι ακονίζουν τα σαγόνια
πηδούν και τρέχουν και σε φτάνουν στα μισά


and translation I found..


The birds of the nether world

Time, poisoned, is lying in wait
to find you, in the straits of the nether world
And, idle for 13 centuries, it is seeking
Your ark and your blood to drink it

Whip-wielders and Sympligades* await you
A bride, sleepless among golden jewels,
has the Cyclades hanging from her ears
and her bed is the lair of the killer

Hidden, the bitter words inside the shell
Hidden, the charms of the sea in the North
The oil lamp* in the house will burn out someday
And you will find neither door nor lock

The birds and the peacocks of the Nether World
With light and night stitch up a suit for you
People gnash and sharpen their jaws
They leap and run and they catch you half-way.

****Sympligades" is a word of Homeric origin which has come to mean simply big trouble. The "καντήλι" (kantíli) is the oil lamp that burns in front of the icon. The peacock is a bad luck bird.

its a scary song
whats this song really about?

[y!]

well, I don't really know..I think we'll have to wait for some greek to expain it to us

[poissonrouge]

if there are any greeks here, can they explain me what is this song about? thanks!

[glazaridu]

this song is really very difficult even for us greeks. It is really very amazing song.
The music and the lyrics. Because it is to poetry it makes difficult to understand

The point of the song is about the world and the bad people that there out there who are like those who are in hell. Everyone wants to harm you.Life is dificult like simpligades which are one of the hardest dificuties that odyseas had to pass according to mythologie.
But there are some who will try to aproch you like the bed of the woman but it not more than a trap .

It is to poetry to translate in any language and more in English
Belive me they are really amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope i helped you

[poissonrouge]
