Tsakalakos Panagiotis - "Queen & Clown" or "Mono mia stigmi"

One more time that Tsakalakos' English version is better than the Greek one.

The way she looks, the way she stares a lovely reason to despair she plays with rules that aren't fair now I'm wounded but she don't care A shattered dream, a dirty game the sweetest poison in my veins travels slowly to my brain and leaves me wounded She's a queen when I'm a clown she goes up when I go down The reason why she wants me near is just to make me disappear The mirror breaks and I can see she enjoys catastrophe she cracks a smile and stares at me she leaves me wounded, but she don't care She's a queen when I'm a clown she goes up when I go down The reason why she wants me near is just to make me disappear I was lost in her lullabies Strange black magic in her eyes

Το πρωί στο μετρό ζαλισμένος περπατώ "προσοχή" λέει στο κενό μα εγώ έχω πέσει από καιρό Δε θα φάω δε θα πιώ το στόμα ακόμα είναι γλυκό δε θέλω ούτε να πλυθώ για λίγο ακόμα ΄Ηταν μόνο μια στιγμή ήταν όλη μου η ζωή Φοβόμουν μήπως αρνηθείς μα πιο πολύ μήπως δεχτείς Απόψε πώς να κοιμηθώ μ'ένα χαμόγελο χαζό την ίδια νύχτα ξαναζώ και πέφτω πάλι στο κενό Ήταν μόνο μια στιγμή ήταν όλη μου η ζωή Φοβόμουν μήπως αρνηθείς μα πιο πολύ μήπως δεχτείς Τώρα πια με μια σκέψη ζώ αν ποτέ σε ξαναδώ	In the morning while in metro station I 'm walking feeling dizzy a voice-message warns "mind the gap" but I have fallen already I won't eat won't drink my mouth still taste sweet I don't even wanna wash myself not for the hours to come It was just a moment it was my whole life I was afraid of your refusal but more of your acceptance Tonight how can I sleep wearing some stupid smile I "live" the night once more and I'm still falling to the gap It was just a moment it was my whole life I was afraid of your refusal but more of your acceptance Now I live with the thought of seeing you again

He is half Greek half American.
He divided his studying years between the two countries,
he speaks better English than Greek lang,
so he writes his songs in English and only then he chooses some of them to have Greek lyrics not added by him.

So, in the end, his songs have more of American scent than Greek.
But ... he has some SOLID knowledge of music plus some balcanian crazyness.
Could be a good -or even great- composer in the future.
