    Default Please translate Lyrics to Eleni

    I love this song Eleni by Haris Alexiou, however I have no idea what she is saying. I would love it if someone could please translate. They lyrics are -

    Zoume s’enan kosmo magiko
    me fonto tin Akropoli, to Lykavitto
    Gemata ta balkonia, politika aïdonia
    Yposchesis ke agapes ke polychrona balonia
    ki eftychismena chronia

    Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
    tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni
    I zoi sou, na to xeris, ine epikirygmeni
    Na pethenis gia tin Ellada ine allo
    ki allo ekini na se petheni

    Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
    tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni

    Zoume s’enan kosmo magiko
    Ypochthonia doulevi me monadiko skopo
    Na se basi sto pechnidi, ti zoi sou pos tha ftiaxi
    Na sou taxi, na sou taxi tin psychi sou na rimaxi

    Ki otan ftasi na elenchi tis elpidas sou ton pono
    den tou ftani etouto mono
    Me glykologa se perni ap’to cheri
    Se vaftizi tis Elladas nikokyri

    Ki eki pou les allaxane ta pragmata ke sikonis to potiri
    Arpazi, klevi t’oniro sou ke tou kani charakiri

    Ki esy Eleni...

    Truly Grateful!!!

    Eleni

    We live in a magical world
    with Acropolis and Lycabettus hill in the background
    the balconies are full
    of political nightingales,
    promises and loves
    and colourfull balloons
    for happy years

    And you, Eleni
    and every other Eleni,
    sleeping beauty
    of the province and of Athens
    Bear in mind that your life is outlawed
    dying for Greece is one thing
    and getting killed by it another

    We live in a magical world
    that infernally tries
    "Ποιος ταξιδεύει στα μάτια σου;
    Και ποιός ξαγρυπνά στο κορμί σου;
    Μάτια μπλε στα μεγάλα ταξίδια σου
    Θα'μαι εδώ θα'μαι πάντα μαζί σου"
