Elefteria Arvanitaki - Pame xana sta thavmata

Πάμε ξανά στα θαύματα


Θα 'ρθω να σε πάρω μια βραδιά με φεγγαράκι
στους δρόμους τα φανάρια ανοιχτά για την αγάπη.
Πράσινα φανάρια στη σειρά
και στους καθρέφτες δυο φεγγάρια.

Πάμε ξανά στα θαύματα όπως μια φορά.
Κι αν δεν μας αφήσει η αγάπη στα μισά
Αίγινα θα πιάσουμε και Σύρα κι Ικαριά,
λύσε τα σχοινιά.
Ασημένιο μονοπάτι στην πλώρη μου
το φεγγάρι στα νερά,
καλοτάξιδο κορμάκι, βαπόρι μου,
πήγαινέ μας στ' ανοιχτά.

Όνειρο θα γίνω και θα 'ρθω να σε κοιμίσω
και όσα ονειρευτήκαμε μαζί να σου θυμίσω.
Όνειρα που κάναμε κι οι δυο
πάνω στο ίδιο μαξιλάρι.

Σωμα βαθυ σαν προσευχή
Μου ‘λειψες πολύ.

Κι αν δεν μας αφήσει η αγάπη στα μισά…

translation is from me, i dont like writing the songs in latin alphabeth so i didnt but if you need it in latin as well let us know someone would do it for you.. enjoy the song

Πάμε ξανά στα θαύματα
Lets go into miracles again


Θα 'ρθω να σε πάρω μια βραδιά με φεγγαράκι
i will come to take you one night with little moon
στους δρόμους τα φανάρια ανοιχτά για την αγάπη.
in the streets the lights on for love
Πράσινα φανάρια στη σειρά
green lightz in line
και στους καθρέφτες δυο φεγγάρια.
and in the mirrors twain (2) moons

Πάμε ξανά στα θαύματα όπως μια φορά.
lets go again in to the miracles like that one time
Κι αν δεν μας αφήσει η αγάπη στα μισά
and if the love doesnt leave us in rancour
Αίγινα θα πιάσουμε και Σύρα κι Ικαριά,
We'll take off to Aegina and Sira and Ikara
λύσε τα σχοινιά.
loosen the rope
Ασημένιο μονοπάτι στην πλώρη μου
silver path in my bow
το φεγγάρι στα νερά,
the moon on the waters
καλοτάξιδο κορμάκι, βαπόρι μου,
wellstreaming little body, my steamboat
πήγαινέ μας στ' ανοιχτά.
take us into the open (sea)

Όνειρο θα γίνω και θα 'ρθω να σε κοιμίσω
Dream i will become and i will come to wake you up
και όσα ονειρευτήκαμε μαζί να σου θυμίσω.
and however much we dream together for i shall remind you
Όνειρα που κάναμε κι οι δυο
the dreams we have
πάνω στο ίδιο μαξιλάρι.
on the same pillow

σωμα βαθυ σαν προσευχή
body deep like a prayer
Μου ‘λειψες πολύ.
I missed you loads

Thank you Neslihan! I really enjoy greek alphabeth and I spend a lot of my time trying to learn greek language...

I don't need latin alphabeth writing of the greek words of the songs because I know how to read greek spelling very well; I'm only looking for much more greek vocabulary and grammar in the future... ( and I work for it).
Learning greek language from the songs is a quite good method because the songs are very nice and thus it's more easy to learn greek...

You are welcome and how wonderful it is that you are making effort to learn a foreign language. Well done to you! and yes learning greek through songs is a good method but i regret to say that unfortunately the level of greek language used in most songs is not even beginner but get-in-by level.... you ll know what i m talking about once you get a bit more advanced in greek language! choose songs written by good lyricists and poets, and you will master the language in a way that will impress everyone... becareful with the songs you choose to study on or you ll learn only 3 phrases i love you (s'agapo) i miss you (mou leipeis) and i m not living without you (xoris esena de zo) ... my verdict.. they should get a life.. my advice stick to good songs!! and well done so far for the efforts you ve made!! Enjoy learning this beautiful language the more you ll learn the more you will love it!!

I didnt realise i had some personal messages. Just yours here you go this the translation of the other song.

Η πιο μεγάλη ώρα είναι τώρα
the greates time/hour is now
η ώρα που γεννιέται η ζωή
the time that become the life
η ώρα που ταιριάζει η αναπνοή σου
the time that blends your breath
μαζί με την δική μου αναπνοή
with my breath
Κι αν είναι η αρχή στην κατηφόρα
and if it is the beginning of gradient
η πιο μεγάλη ώρα είναι τώρα
the greates time is now

Η πιο μεγάλη ώρα είναι τώρα
the greatest time is now
η ώρα που μου σβήνεις τον καημό
the hour at which you sweep of my sadness
η ώρα που και η σκέψη μου πεθαίνει
the hour at which my thought is dying
και που δε θέλω να 'χει τελειωμό
and i dont want it to have an end


Η πιο μεγάλη ώρα είναι τώρα
the greates time is now
η ώρα που μ' αρέσει να πονώ
the hour at which i like getting hurt
η ώρα που σου δίνω την ψυχή μου
the hour at which i am giving you my soul
χωρίς να νοιώθω τίποτα φτηνό
without feeling anything low
Κι αν είναι η αρχή στην κατηφόρα
and if it is the beginning of gradient
η πιο μεγάλη ώρα είναι τώρα
the greatest hour is now

I like your taste in Greek music.. you are listening to good songs, i dont have time right now to translate the other songs but i will post the other 3 as well when i have time. Enjoy the songs and sorry for the delay!

I appreciate very much your efforts for translations. Excuse me if I asked you for too many songs translations at once. It was not my intention to get the translations immediately. I can wait Thank you again.

No worries. I ll translate them all for you. It is my hobby to translate stuff, songs/poems/ you name it... but i juggle my hobby with my famioly and work. I have a very demanding job, i work at least 11 hours everyday, but i must be crazy cos i love it! and the rest of my time is devoted to my family! So if i take my time dont worry, whatever you need translated chuck it over to me probably within a week i ll get it all done for you. I was gonna do one song tonight but i got caught up and its getting late i ll go sleep now but as promised i ll translate them all

Believe me that I'm very occupied too( I'm working 8-12 hours a day) and my leisure is so short... But this music ease my soul so much! Sometimes I feel as if God talks to me...
It's better, of course, to have the lyrics besides music. And I find the lyrics great too.
Finally, I have to tell you that I found on the internet an interestig interview with Haris Alexiou. You might know it allready but if not I hope you'll enjoy it!

Here it is:

thats quite interesting. Reminds me of everyday conversations with my motherinlaw. Their way of thinking and acting is quite similar Iguess I love Alexiou for this reason. She represents the average greek woman, cheeky, playful, thoughful, smart, challenging but excepting at the same time, she has a warm personality and a strong character. She is not the kind of person who would loudly speak about her political opinions and she is always talked about her music not her political views but she can make a point when she wants to through her songs/choise of songs!!! Listen to her song 'eleni'

you have a pm! more to come .. promise..
