Panos Kiamos - Agapi mou megali *

Geia sas!

I translated this song and would appreciate any corrections

Thanks in advance


Πάνος Κιάμος - Αγάπη μου μεγάλη


Ποιο χέρι απ' τα δυο να σε αγγίξει
Which of the two hands should touch you
Το χέρι του σταυρού ή της καρδιάς
The hand of the cross or the hand of the heart
Σε έβλεπα μονάχα στα όνειρά μου
I saw you only in my dreams
Κι απόψε είσαι εδώ και με φιλάς
And tonight you're here and you kiss me

Σ' ευχαριστώ, που ήρθες πάλι
I thank you that you've come again
Αγάπη μου μεγάλη
My big love
Σ' ευχαριστώ, από τα βάθη της καρδιάς
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Σ' ευχαριστώ, μ' ένα μου δάκρυ
I thank you with a tear of mine
Που 'ναι γεμάτο από αγάπη
Which is full of love
Σ' ευχαριστώ, που ξέρεις και
I thank you that you also know
Να συγχωράς
To forgive

Ποιο χέρι απ' τα δύο να σε σηκώσει
Which of the two hands should raise you
Ακόμα κι απ' τ' αστέρια πιο ψηλά
Even higher than the stars
Εγώ είμαι αυτός, που όλα θα στα δώσει
I'm the one who'll give you everything
Γεννήθηκα για δεύτερη φορά
I was born a second time

Just one little thing I've noticed. When he sings

Εγώ είμαι αυτός, που όλα θα στα δώσει
I'm the one who'll give you all of them

I think it is better to translate this as "I am the one who will give you everything", because I think he refers to everything in life. If he meant to say that he will give her all the stars then what you wrote would be correct. The rest is correct, all of it. Excellent work, well done!

Thanks a lot!

Can you explain what is meant with "Το χέρι του σταυρού ή της καρδιάς"? I assume it's a metaphor or something like this, but I don't get its meaning!

Second one


Δε φταίω εγώ, δε φταις εσύ


Πάλι στα δύσκολα με χάνω και σε βρίσκω
Again I'm losing myself in troubles and I find you
μα να σ' αλλάξω δεν μπορώ
But I can't change you
αυτά που ζήσαμε προσπάθησα να σβήσω
I tried to erase what we have lived
ποτέ να μη σε ξαναδώ
To never see you again

Μα είμ' ακόμα εδώ και πονάω για σένα
But I'm still here and I'm aching for you
κι ό,τι μου 'χεις κάνει συγχωρώ
And I forgive what you've done to me
και έχω μάθει πια, απ' τους δυο κανένα
And I have learned other than the two of us
άλλον να μην κατηγορώ.
No one else to blame

Δε φταίω εγώ, δε φταις εσύ
I'm not to blame, you're not to blame
αν η αγάπη μας αυτή είναι κατάρα και ευχή
Whether this love of us is curse and wish
δε φταίω εγώ, δε φταις εσύ
I'm not to blame, you're not to blame
για όσα μας μοιράζει η ζωή.
For what life hands out to us

Σε κάθε κόκκινο φανάρι του μυαλού μου
At every red lantern of my mind
σαν το ζητιάνο τριγυρνάς
You're hanging around like a beggar
δεν είναι δίκαιο να χάνω εγώ το νου μου
It's not right/fair that I lose my mind
για να σου δίνω ό,τι ζητάς
To give you what you ask for

Μα είμ' ακόμα εδώ και πονάω για σένα
κι ό,τι μου 'χεις κάνει συγχωρώ
και έχω μάθει πια, απ' τους δυο κανένα
άλλον να μην κατηγορώ.

Δε φταίω εγώ, δε φταις εσύ
αν η αγάπη μας αυτή είναι κατάρα και ευχή
δε φταίω εγώ, δε φταις εσύ
για όσα μας μοιράζει η ζωή.( χ2 )

Δε φταίω εγώ, δε φταις εσύ.

I'm new to greek, but perhaps "the hand of the cross" means the right one, the one you (usually) use to make the sign of the cross and "the hand of the heart" is the left one, where the heart is.

By the way, let's wait for some "authoritative" anwer

Energo is absolutely right. Well done.


With respect to the second translation there is only one thing I think needs to be corrected:

και έχω μάθει πια, απ' τους δυο κανένα
And I have learned other than the two of us
άλλον να μην κατηγορώ.
no one else to blame

that part is a bit tricky actually. Excellent try though, keep up with the good work

Thanks again to both of you!!!

An happy intuition

thanx for the translation but can you write the prononciation or transcripe it in english letters ?
