Dancing with my Shadow

..


written and composed by Manos Hadjidakis



Χορός με τη σκιά μου


Το βράδυ σπίτι μου γυρίζω
κυνηγημένη σαν πουλί,
μες στα σεντόνια μου αντικρίζω
το θάνατο που με καλεί.

Κρύβω στα χέρια την καρδιά
παίρνω απ΄ τις πόρτες τα κλειδιά,
και προσπαθώ να του ξεφύγω
κρυφά σαν τα μικρά παιδιά.

Κυλώ σα δάκρυ στη σιωπή,
μέσα στου κόσμου τη ντροπή,
και σαν τα ρούχα μου ξεσκίζω
γυμνή μ΄ αρπάζει η αστραπή.

Στους δρόμους σύντροφο γυρεύω
μια μπάντα παίζει το ρυθμό,
σκίζω τους τοίχους και χορεύω
να βρω τον άγνωστο αριθμό.

Κοιτάω μ΄ελπίδα μια φωτιά
που ανάβει έν΄άστρο στο νοτιά,
άραγε νά 'ναι 'κει το φως μου,
το φως ή η ατέλειωτη ερημιά.

Φοβάμαι του όχλου τη χολή
ένας τυφώνας με καλεί,
η αγάπη χάνεται στη μνήμη
κι εγώ χορεύω σαν τρελή.

Χορός με τη σκιά μου
/ Horos me ti skia mou
Dancing with my shadow


Το βράδυ σπίτι μου γυρίζω
/ to vradi spiti mou yirizo
at night I return home
κυνηγημένη σαν πουλί
/ kiniyimeni san pouli
"hunted" as (a) bird
μες στα σεντόνια μου αντικρίζω
/ mes sta sentonia mou antikrizo
within (these) "sheets" of mine, I "confront"
το θάνατο που με καλεί
/ to thanato pou me kali
"death", "calling" me

Κρύβω στα χέρια την καρδιά
/ krivo sta heria tin kardia
I "conceal" (with)in (the) "hands", the "heart"
παίρνω απ΄τις πόρτες τα κλειδιά
/ perno ap' tis portes ta klidia
I "remove" from the "doors", the "keys"
και προσπαθώ να του ξεφύγω
/ ke prospatho na tou xefigo
and I "strive" to "escape" (death)
κρυφά σαν τα μικρά παιδιά
/ krifa san ta mikra pedia
"hidden", like "little children" (do)

Κυλώ σα δάκρυ στη σιωπή
/ kilo sa dakri sti siopi
I "flow" (downwards) like (a) "teardrop", in the "silence"
μέσα στου κόσμου τη ντροπή
/ mesa stou kosmou ti ntropi
within the "world's" "shame"
και σαν τα ρούχα μου ξεσκίζω
/ ke san ta rouha mou xeskizo
and while my clothes I "tear to shreds"
γυμνή μ' αρπάζει η αστραπή
/ yimni m' arpazi i astrapi
"bare", the "lightning" "grabs" (hold of) me

Στους δρόμους σύντροφο γυρεύω
/ stous dromous sintrofo yirevo
in the streets, (a) "companion" I "seek"
μια μπάντα παίζει το ρυθμό
/ mia mpanta pezi to rithmo
a "band" is "playing" the "rhythm"
σκίζω τους τοίχους και χορεύω
/ skizo tous tihous ke horevo
I "tear" (down) the "walls" and I "dance"
να βρω τον άγνωστο αριθμό
/ na vro ton agnosto arithmo
to "find" the "unknown number"

Κοιτάω μ΄ελπίδα μια φωτιά
/ kitao m' elpida mia fotia
I "gaze" with "hope", a "fire"
που ανάβει έν΄άστρο στο νοτιά
/ pou anavi en' astro sto notia
that a "star" "lights up" in the "south"
άραγε νά 'ναι 'κει το φως μου
/ araye na' ne ki to fos mou ?
Is it "possible" that my "light" is "there" ?
το φως ή η ατέλειωτη ερημιά
/ to fos i i atelioti erimia
the "light" or, the "endless wilderness"

Φοβάμαι του όχλου τη χολή
/ fovame tou ohlou ti holi
I am "freightened" of the "swarm's" "bile"
ένας τυφώνας με καλεί
/ enas tifonas me kali
a "hurricane" is "calling" me
η αγάπη χάνεται στη μνήμη
/ i agapi hanete sti mnimi
"Love" is "lost" in "memory"
κι εγώ χορεύω σαν τρελή
/ ki ego xorevo san trelli
and I, I'm "dancing" like "mad"
