Excuse me for not finding a PROPER youtube vid
Τρεις αγγέλοι ζωγραφίσαν
3 angels sketched
με κραγιόνια βυσσινιά
using purple crayons
παράπονο.
a complaint.
Τα φτεράκια τους πουλήσαν
They sold their small wings
και καθίσαν στη γωνιά.
and sitted in a corner.
Είπε ο πρώτος "θέλω απόψε
Τhe first one said "Tonight I miss
την παλιά μου την αγάπη"
my old love"
Είπε ο δεύτερος "κοιμήσου
The second answered "You may sleep
στο δικό μου το κρεβάτι"
on my bed"
Και γείραν κι έπεσαν στο χώμα
And they lay over the ground
όλη νύχτα, δίχως σώμα
the whole night, with no natural bodies.
Κι ο τρίτος που κουράστηκε
And the third one, who was tired
στα κύματα,
of the waves, (means difficulties)
Με δυο χαρές ανήμπορες
Carrying only a couple of joyfull times
και κρίματα.
and (many) misfortunes.
Αυτός δεν είπε τίποτα,
This one said nothing,
αυτός δεν ήθελ' άνθρωπο να δει,
this one didn't wanna face anyone,
γιατί γυρνούσαν στην καρδιά του
cause in his heart, they were returning
αυτοί που φύγαν μακριά του
the people that abandoned him.
"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"
