    Lightbulb Swallow in a cage

    ..


    composed by Manos Hadjidakis
    verse by Nikos Gatsos



    Χελιδόνι σε κλουβί
    / Helidoni se klouvi
    Swallow in a cage


    Πού το πάνε το παιδί, χελιδόνι σε κλουβί
    / pou to pane to pedi, helidoni se klouvi
    where are "they" "taking" the "lad", "swallow" in a "cage"
    πού το πάνε το παιδί και κανείς δεν το 'χει δει
    / pou to pane to pedi ke kanis den to 'hi di
    where are "they" "taking" the "lad" and noone has "seen" (the "lad")
    πού το παν το παλικάρι κάθε νύχτα με φεγγάρι
    / pou to pan to palikari, kathe nihta me fegari
    where are "they" "taking" the "valiant-young-lad", every "night" with (a) "moon"
    πού το πάνε, τι του λένε και τ' αδέρφια του το κλαίνε
    / pou to pane, ti tou lene ke t' aderfia tou to klene
    where are "they" "taking" the "lad", what are "they" "saying" to the "lad" and (the "lad's") "siblings" (result in) "crying" for the "lad" ?

    Στης ψυχής μου τον καθρέφτη, ίσκιος άρχισε να πέφτει
    / stis psihis mou ton kathrefti, iskios arhise na pefti
    (with)in my soul's "mirror", (a) "shadow" "commenced" to "descend"
    ίδια η μοίρα που με φέρνει ίδια η μοίρα που με παίρνει
    / idia i mira pou me ferni, idia i mira pou me perni
    the same "fate" that "bears" me, (it is) the same "fate" that "appropriates" me

    Με κοιτάνε κάθε αυγή και τα μάτια τους πληγή
    / me kitane kathe avgi ke ta matia tous pligi
    "they" "observe" me (at) every "dawn" and "their" "eyes" (a) "wound"
    με κοιτάνε κάθε αυγή και τα λόγια τους κραυγή
    / me kitane kathe avgi ke ta loya tous kravgi
    "they" "observe" me (at) every "dawn" and "their" "words" (a) "yell"
    με κοιτάνε, με κοιτάνε και τα μαύρα τους φοράνε
    / me kitane, me kitane ke ta mavra tous forane
    "they" "look at" me, "they" "observe" me and "their" "mourning clothes" (they) are "wearing"
    κι ένας παραπέρα στέκει και κρατάει αστροπελέκι
    / ki enas parapera steki ke kratai astropeleki
    and "one" is furtherdown "standing" and "holding" (a) "thunderbolt"

    Στης ψυχής μου τον καθρέφτη, ίσκιος άρχισε να πέφτει
    / stis psihis mou ton kathrefti, iskios arhise na pefti
    (with)in my soul's "mirror", (a) "shadow" "commenced" to "descend"
    ίδια η μοίρα που με φέρνει ίδια η μοίρα που με παίρνει
    / idia i mira pou me ferni, idia i mira pou me perni
    the same "fate" that "bears" me, (it is) the same "fate" that "appropriates" me


    Πού το πάνε το παιδί, χελιδόνι σε κλουβί
    / pou to pane to pedi, helidoni se klouvi
    where are "they" "taking" the "lad", "swallow" in a "cage"
    πού το πάνε το παιδί και κανείς δεν το 'χει δει
    / pou to pane to pedi ke kanis den to 'hi di
    where are "they" "taking" the "lad" and noone has "seen" (the "lad")

    I guess, ... "pain" ... "exists" ... so that we would be "able" to ... "recognize" ... "hearten" and ... "uplift" and ... "inspiration" ... ... ...


    I wish ... "omorfi" ... was "here" ... she would be "able" to ... "express" ... this in a "way" that is ... "comfortable" and "southing" ... !!! ... ... ...


    ... and, ... YES !!! ... "Kemal" is a "song" ... a very "beautiful song" ... !!! ... ... ...

    Let me get this straight: you split your week in two parts? In the first half you remember to sleep, and in the second half you remember to eat??? Cause you seem to function like this: once in three days you remember you should solve some "minor issues" like ...sleeping...eating....ETC!!! LOL!!!

    Well, thank God you ate! I was afraid you postponed this for sometime between Thursday and Saturday!!!!

    And what a wonder: you managed to match eating and sleeping in the same day!!! Perfect! You're on a good path here. Eventually you'll get used to EVEN eating and sleeping EVERY DAY!!!! That will be a moment to celebrate! LOL!
