Epistrefo - Yannis Parios

[Don Camillo]

Cherete,

I am desperately looking for an english translation of the song "Epistrefo" by Yannis Parios. This is to me the very best song Yannis ever sung.

Thank you in advance for your effort, efcharisto poli..........

Cheretismous ti Sneek, Frieslanda

Επιστρέφω - Γιάννης Πάριος
(epistrefo-I am coming back / returning)

Τώρα που όλα τα ‘χω δοκιμάσει
Now that I have tried everything
Tora pou ola ta ho thokimasi

πρόχειρες αγάπες δεν μπορώ,
I cann't (get into) short affairs
prohires aghapes then boro

τώρα που η ζωή μ' έχει κουράσει,
now that life has made tired
tora pou i zoi m ehi kourasi

τώρα μαθαίνω ξανά να σ’ αγαπώ.
now I am learning to love you again
tora matheno xana na s' aghapo

Επιστρέφω απ’ της ζωής μου τις άχρηστες σελίδες,
I am coming back from the useless pages of my life
epistrefo ap tis zois mou tis ahristes selides

επιστρέφω και όπου θέλεις με πας,
I am coming back and take me wherever you want,
epistrefo ke opou thelis me pas,

επιστρέφω τώρα που έγινα μια θάλασσα ρυτίδες,
I am coming back now that I've become a sea full of wrinkles (he means old)
tora pou egina mia thalassa ritithes

επιστρέφω γιατί μ' αγαπάς,
I am coming back because you love me
epistrefo yati m aghapas

επιστρέφω γιατί μ' αγαπάς.
I am coming back because you love me
epistrefo yati m aghapas

Τώρα που όλα τ' έχω δοκιμάσει,
Now, that I have tried everything,
tora pou ola ta ho thokimasi

τώρα που τα λάθη μου μετρώ,
now that I am counting my mistakes
tora pou ta lathi mou metro

τώρα που όλα τα ‘χω πια χορτάσει,
now that I had enough of everything
tora pou ola ta ho pia hortasi

τώρα μαθαίνω ξανά να σ’ αγαπώ.
now I am learning to love you again
tora matheno xana na s aghapo

Επιστρέφω απ’ της ζωής μου τις άχρηστες σελίδες,
I am coming back from the useless pages of my life
epistrefo ap tis zois mou tis ahristes selides

επιστρέφω και όπου θέλεις με πας,
I am coming back and take me wherever you want,
epistrefo ke opou thelis me pas

επιστρέφω τώρα που έγινα μια θάλασσα ρυτίδες,
I am coming back now that I've become a sea full of wrinkles (he means old)
epistrefo tora pou egina mia thalassa ritithes

επιστρέφω γιατί μ' αγαπάς, I am coming back because you love me
epistrefo yati m aghapas
επιστρέφω γιατί μ' αγαπάς. (x 2) I am coming back because you love me (x2)
epistrefo yati m aghapas (x2)
Επιστρέφω γιατί μ' αγαπάς. I am coming back because you love me
epistrefo yati m aghapas

Dear Stongwings,

Thank you very much for your quick respons and certainly for your translation. I'm very, very happy with it.
I tried already little bits of translation but unsuccesfully, but I always had a feeling that this could be the meaning of the lyric. Reading the lyric, now I realize myself what really struck me in this song.......

Kind regards,

Don Camillo
