Agrypnia by Thanasis Papakonstantinou

This is a pretty obscure song, so I figure I"ll never be able to find the lyrics in English on the web...I tried making my best of it with a Greek dictionary but the lyrics are based on poetry, apparently, so it's hard to make sense of it.

I noticed that there are some Greek translators on this forum, so would anybody be willing to make a translation for me? I would happily repay you in the same coin - I can translate most of the European languages, esp. Russian, French, Spanish, and also Turkish and Hebrew, and I know some Persian and some Armenian as well.

Here are the lyrics, in Greek:

Agrypnia, apshlafhto zwo
Dixws mia stala storgh
s'osous dipsan gia ximaires gerneis
thn koupa sou pou 'nai adeianh

Ki enw perna h nyxta kataleukh
Broxerh san Kyriakh
Kserw giati st' auti pou sparazei
Ximas kai glyfeis san skyli

Den agapas! Afhneis tous psyllous sou
Tous hxous pou ftanoun apo makria
Agrypnia kakofwno organo
Pou aletheis twn eklektwn to wsanna

Agrypnia, ths kolashs khtos
Einai to fili sou fwtia
Afhnei mia geush apo sidero
Pou 'xoun Kshlwsei apo karabia palia

Here Are The Greek Words And I Will Try To Translate It Even If It Is Really Hard...


Αγρύπνια, αψηλάφητο ζώο!
Sleeplessness,an Untouched Animal
Δίχως μια στάλα στοργή
Without A Drop Of Tenderness
σ' όσους διψάν για χίμαιρες, γέρνεις
You Turn To Those Who Are Thirsty For Chimeras
την κούπα σου που 'ναι πάντα αδειανή
Your Cup That Is Always Empty

Κι ενώ περνά η νύχτα κατάλευκη
And While The Night Is Over All In White
βροχερή σαν Κυριακή
Rainy Like A Sunday
ξέρω γιατί, στ’ αυτί που σπαράζει
I Know Why,in The Ear That Is Cruing Out
χιμάς και γλύφεις σαν το σκυλί
You Throw Your Self And You Lick Like A Dog

Δεν αγαπάς! Αφήνεις τους ψύλλους σου
You Don't Love,you Leave Your Fleas
τους ήχους που φτάνουν από μακριά
(the Fleas Arethe Sounds That Come From Far Away
αγρύπνια, κακόφωνο όργανο
Sleeplessness,instrument With A Bad Sound
που αλέθεις των εκλεκτών το «ωσαννά»
That You Grind The "osana" Of The Chosens

Αγρύπνια, της κόλασης κήτος
Sleeplessness,monster From The Hell
είναι το φιλί σου φωτιά
Your Kiss Is A Fire
Αφήνει μια γεύση από σίδερο
That Leaves A Taste From Iron
Πού 'χουν ξηλώσει καράβια παλιά
(i Don't Really Understand Even In Greek What He Means Here,sorry!))

Κι ενώ περνά η νύχτα...
And While The Night Is Coming To It's End....

I Hope I Helped At Least Just Alittle Bit...

Another attempt, just because I love this song !

Αγρύπνια, αψηλάφητο ζώο!
Insomnia, unpalpatable animal!
Δίχως μια στάλα στοργή,
Without a drop of affection
σ' όσους διψάν για χίμαιρες, γέρνεις
to those who are thirst for Chimairas you lean
την κούπα σου που 'ναι πάντα αδειανή.
your ever emtpy cup

Κι ενώ περνά η νύχτα κατάλευκη,
And while the night passes-by in complete white
βροχερή σαν Κυριακή,
rainy like Sunday
ξέρω γιατί, στ' αυτί που σπαράζει,
I know why the ear that wings
χιμάς και γλύφεις σαν σκυλί.
you lunge and lick it like a dog

Δεν αγαπάς! Αφήνεις τους ψύλλους σου,
You don't love! You just leave your fleas
τους ήχους που φτάνουν από μακριά;
the sounds that come from abroad
αγρύπνια, κακόφωνο όργανο,
insomnia, croaky instrument,
που αλέθεις των εκλεκτών το «ωσαννά».
which crunch the ossana(hymn) of the chossens

Αγρύπνια, της κόλασης κήτος,
Insomnia, hell's cetus
είναι το φιλί σου φωτιά.
fire is your kiss
Αφήνει μια γεύση από σίδερο,
it leaves an iron taste
πού 'χουν ξηλώσει από καράβια παλιά
that is stripped off out of old boats
