    Γεια σου,

    I'm so totally into Katy Garbi's latest album, and some songs in particular. "Robot" is one of them. I hope that there is someone here who doesn't mind translating this great song? Ευχαριστώ πολύ in advance.

    Αν είχα δύο σώματα
    θα τα 'βαζα ενωμένα
    να 'ναι αγκαλιασμένα στη ζωή
    Μα έχω ένα σώμα εγώ
    με άδεια τα χέρια
    Έτσι στο δέρμα έχει γραφτεί
    δάχτυλα να ψάχνουν το κορμί


    Αν θες ρομπότ, δε θες εμένα
    δεν έχω πρόγραμμα εγώ
    Εγώ μονάχα απελπισμένα
    ξέρω ν' αγαπώ

    Αν θες κουμπί, εγώ δεν έχω
    να το πατήσω να σωθώ
    Εγώ μες την αγάπη τρέχω
    για να καταστραφώ


    Ζηλεύω τους ανθρώπους
    που μόνοι τους μπορούν
    να 'χουν μια ασπίδα και να ζουν
    Μα είμαι άλλο υλικό
    Γυαλί και σπάω
    Είμαι δυο μάτια που μπορούν
    μόνο ραγισμένα ν' αγαπούν

    geia sou rob i tried to translate but we have to deal with some strange lyrics ) that's why this song wasn't one of my favorite from kaiti's latest album

    If I had 2 bodies
    I would unite them
    To be embraced in life
    But I have one body
    With empty hands
    Thus on the skin is written
    Fingers looking for the body

    If you want a robot, you don't want me
    I don't have a program
    I only know
    To love desperately

    If you want a button, I don't have
    to push it to be saved
    I run into love
    To be destroyed

    I envy people
    That on their own are able
    To have a shield and to live
    But I'm (made of) different material
    (I'm) Glass and I get broken
    I'm 2 eyes that can
    love only cracked

    Ah, my dear Romanian friend, you outdid yourself, and made me very happy! In a certain way, I already knew what it was all about (i.e. she sings about how she is full of feelings and emotions, and if 'he' doesn't like that, he should seek for 'a robot', which isn't her). But the real context got lost on me, unfortunately. Anyhow, I just <3 this song! In fact, it's the most played song of her latest album for me. And in some way, I can relate to it.

    But my dear kmmy, you rule! Thanks so much for translating!! Big hug,

    Rob

    Αχ kmmy μου, I wíll hold you to this. :P I only have 2 songs translated, while in fact I like her entire 11-song counting album. So within time, I'll post more, for sure! :P

    Now, however, I'm into Νατάσα Θεοδωρίδου's album «Μια Κόκκινη Γραμμή». I had it for over a year, but never paid attention to it... HOW COULD I?? It's brill! I will post the lyrics of «Μάζεψέ Τα Όλα» soon, for I really <3 that song.
    Anyhow, kmmy, you rule! 2 Big thanks for you! (which is not even slightly enough! )
