Here's another George Dalaras' song, "Se paralies kai ammoudies". I hope somebody will find some time to translate it, because the lyrics is longer than usual.
Σε παραλιες και αμμουδιες
Σε παραλίες κι αμμουδιές
καθώς ξαπλώνουν οι καρδιές
με κάτι ονόματα απάνω τους γραμμένα.
Ας ήταν Θεέ μου μπορετό
να 'ρθει ένα κύμα δυνατό
κι όπως θα ξύπναγα
να τα 'χα όλα σβησμένα.
Θα βγάλω εισιτήριο
να φύγω μακριά σου
με τρένο, με καράβι
με ό,τι βρω.
Κι αυτό το δηλητήριο,
που μου 'δωσε η καρδιά σου,
κι αυτό για την υγειά σου
θα το πιω.
Σε παραλίες κι αμμουδιές
καθώς λικνίζονται οι καρδιές
με κάτι όνειρα
σαν άγκυρες μπλεγμένα.
Ας ήταν Θεέ μου μπορετό
να 'ρθει ένα κύμα δυνατό
κι όλα να τα 'κοβε
που μ' έδεσαν με σένα
σε παραλίες κι αμμουδιές.
Θα βγάλω εισιτήριο
να φύγω μακριά σου
με τρένο, με καράβι
με ό,τι βρω.
Κι αυτό το δηλητήριο,
που μου 'δωσε η καρδιά σου,
κι αυτό για την υγειά σου
θα το πιω.
Κι εσύ για μένα
ό,τι θες φαντάσου
I hope there are not many errors in the text I found, because I see a difference in the title "Σε παραλιες και αμμουδιες" ("In sandy beaches" is what results from online translation) and the textline of the song, "σε παραλίες κι αμμουδιές".
Here's the youtube link, for those who would like to check the original, just in case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWeYr-kL88s.
And something else: I found this very interesting website for the purpose of transliteration, at http://www.translatum.gr/converter/g...-converter.htm. It works much better than the previous site I used to try sometimes, http://gr.translit.cc/, and which results I didn't understand the same most of the time.
Below there's the translit of the lyrics using translatum.gr.
Se paralies ki ammoydies
kathws ksaplwnoyn oi kardies
me kati onomata apanw toys grammena.
As htan Thee moy mporetona
'rthei ena kyma dynato
ki opws tha ksypnaga
na ta 'xa ola sbhsmena.
Tha bgalw eisithrio
na fygw makria soy
me treno, me karabi
me o,ti brw.
Ki ayto to dhlhthrio,
poy moy 'dwse h kardia soy,
ki ayto gia thn ygeia soy
tha to piw.
Se paralies ki ammoydies
kathws liknizontai oi kardies
me kati oneira
san agkyres mplegmena.
As htan Thee moy mporeto
na 'rthei ena kyma dynato
ki ola na ta 'kobe
poy m' edesan me sena
se paralies ki ammoydies.
Tha bgalw eisithrio
na fygw makria soy
me treno, me karabi
me o,ti brw.
Ki ayto to dhlhthrio,
poy moy 'dwse h kardia soy,
ki ayto gia thn ygeia soy
tha to piw.
Ki esy gia mena
o,ti thes fantasoy.

Dalaras, "Se paralies kai ammoudies"
-
If no one can translate this lyrics, will somebody, at least, suggest me some other place where I can find the translation, if any, please?
-
I suppose this must be a very difficult lyrics, since no one in the Greek speaking community has yet tried to give any kind of translation. Or isn't it?
-
OK, here is a translation-though I can't take credit for it, I'm afraid!;-). It's from a terrific site devoted to Dalaras, where you will find loads of translated songs, and fine translations to boot! I hope the link works, otherwise you can google Dalaras or Dalaras internet community. It is open to visitors, and you can find the translations section if you scroll down a bit:

Eva, thank you very much for the link and the translation you brought here.
I wish the real author won't bother much for me just giving you the credit right within this thread :-).
Anyway, now it seems I won't be "challenging" anybody on some lyrics for some time. I'll have a good look at the community site for his songs, hoping to find the ones I like.
The best, Ergys. -

Thanks, kim, for this post, and for bringing a new link to the song. I had to close my account in youtube due to copyright complaints, so the few links to Dalaras songs I had posted in this forum went lost.
-
