Title: Den isse entaxi (Δεν είσαι εντάξει) Lyrics: Niko Doulos Music: Andrea Mexas Sung by Notis Sfakianakis Cd: Matomeno dakri - choreftikon (Universal 07/11/2010) Track no: 06
Το ποτηράκι σου ζωή,
Life, your little glass,
ούτε νερό ούτε κρασί,
nor of water neither of wine
ήταν καϋμούς γεμάτο.
but of sorrows was full of.
Γουλιά γουλιά είπα να το πιω,
I wanted to taste it by sipping
και στο γυαλί του ας κοπώ,
even if I would cut myself on its glass
μα μου πες "άσπρο πάτο".
but you told me to drink it at once.
Τα μονοπάτια σου φωτιά
(Life,) Your paths were full of fire
και κάθε ανάσα μαχαιριά,
and every breath, (seems like) a stab
χτυπάς και δεν λυπάσαι.
you (life) hit with no sorrow.
Μα εγώ δεν είμαι απ' αυτούς,
But I'm not of those,
που τα χουν βρεί με τους θεούς,
the preferred of the Gods,
γι' αυτό ... "πανάθεμα σε".
and for that ... "Damn you (Life)"
Δεν είσαι εντάξει βρε ζωή
Life, you're unfair,
δεν είσαι εντάξει.
you're unfair,
Άλλους κερνάς φτηνό κρασί,
You save cheap wine for some people,
σ'άλλους φοράς μετάξι.
save satin to dress the others.
Κι όποιος πετά σαν τον αητό,
And whoever flies like an eagle,
τον σημαδεύεις στο φτερό,
you target his wing,
να μην ξαναπετάξει.
for not to fly anymore.
Το παραμύθι σου ζωή,
Life, it was your lie that
το άκουγα από παιδί,
I was hearing since I was a child
σαν άνοιγα τα μάτια.
everytime I opened my eyes.
Κι εκεί που άπλωνα φτερά,
And when i was opening my wings
μία κρυφά μία φανερά,
sometimes openly, sometimes in secret,
μου τα κανες κομμάτια.
you (life) were breaking them.
Τα τσακισμένα μου φτερά,
My broken wings,
σηκώνω άλλη μια φορά,
I once more heave,
μεσάνυχτα Σαββάτο.
this Saturday's midnight.
Στο σκοτεινό σου ουρανό,
On your dark sky,
σαν τον αετό ξαναπετώ
I fly again like an eagle
και δεν το βάζω κάτω.
and I don't give up.

"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
You will never find that life for which you are looking.
When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
but life they retained in their own keeping"
