    Lightbulb The Staircase of Heaven

    ..

    music by Manos Hadjidakis
    verse by Lina Nikolakopoulou



    Η Σκάλα του Ουρανού


    Καμμιά φορά που οι ζωντανοί
    στις πόρτες στέκουν ορφανοί
    ξεσπάει μια μπόρα μακρυνή
    Σαβαχθανί σημαίνει.

    Κι απ' του Παράδεισου το φως
    γυρνάει του Κάϊν ο αδελφός
    και λέει της πίκρας ο ανθός
    στη γη μονάχα βγαίνει.

    Μα εσύ που ζεις παντοτινά
    δυο δάκρυα δώσ' μου γιορτινά
    να πίνω εδώ στα σκοτεινά
    γιατί είμαι διψασμένη.

    Καμμιά φορά που οι ζωντανοί
    δεν έχουν στάλα υπομονή
    ραγίζει η γυάλα η γαλανή
    Λαμά, λαμά σημαίνει.

    Αγάπη αν έχεις αλλουνού
    τη σκάλα πάρε τ' ουρανού
    Μα πέτα τ' όνειρο απ΄το νου
    αλλοιώς δεν ανεβαίνει.

    Κι εσύ που ακούς και δεν μιλάς
    μα σαν ευχή μοσχοβολάς
    δυο φύλλα δώσ' μου της καρδιάς
    γιατί είμαι γυμνωμένη.

    Η Σκάλα του Ουρανού
    / I Skala tou Ouranou
    The Staircase of Heaven


    Καμμιά φορά που οι ζωντανοί
    / kamia fora pou i zontani
    once in a while that the "living"
    στις πόρτες στέκουν ορφανοί
    / stis portes stekoun orfani
    by (the) "doors" they (the "living") "stand" "orphan"
    ξεσπάει μια μπόρα μακρυνή
    / xespai mia mpora makrini
    "breaks out" a distand "storm"
    Σαβαχθανί σημαίνει
    / savahthani simeni
    (that) "means" "sabachthani" *

    Κι απ' του Παράδεισου το φως
    / ki ap' tou Paradisou to fos
    and from Paradise's "Light"
    γυρνάει του Κάϊν ο αδελφός
    / yirnai tou Kain o adelfos
    "returns" the brother of Cain
    και λέει της πίκρας ο ανθός
    / ke lei tis pikras o anthos
    and "says", "the 'blossom' of 'bitterness'
    στη γη μονάχα βγαίνει
    / sti yi monaha vyeni
    on earth alone is 'growing' ..."

    Μα εσύ που ζεις παντοτινά
    / ma esi pou zis pantotina
    but you, that "lives for ever"
    δυο δάκρυα δώσ' μου γιορτινά
    / dio dakria dos' mou yortina
    two "teardrops", "offer" me (of) "celebratory"
    να πίνω εδώ στα σκοτεινά
    / na pino edo sta skotina
    to "drink" here in the "dark"
    γιατί είμαι διψασμένη
    / yati ime dipsasmeni
    for I am "thirsty"

    Καμμιά φορά που οι ζωντανοί
    / kamia fora pou i zontani
    once in a while that the "living"
    δεν έχουν στάλα υπομονή
    / den ehoun stala ipomoni
    have not a "drop" of "patience"
    ραγίζει η γυάλα η γαλανή
    / rayizi i yala i galani
    "cracks" the "glass bowl" of "heaven-blue"
    Λαμά, λαμά σημαίνει
    / lama, lama simeni
    "lama", "lama" (that) "means"

    Αγάπη αν έχεις αλλουνού
    / agapi an ehis allounou
    "Love" if you "have" of "someone else's"
    τη σκάλα πάρε τ' ουρανού
    / ti skala pare t' ouranou
    "take" the "staircase of heaven"
    Μα πέτα τ' όνειρο απ΄το νου
    / ma peta t' oniro ap' to nou
    but, "throw away" the "dream" from (the) "mind"
    αλλοιώς δεν ανεβαίνει
    / alios den aneveni
    otherwise, it won't "rise"

    Κι εσύ που ακούς και δεν μιλάς
    / ki esi pou akous ke den milas
    and you that "listens" but does not "talk"
    μα σαν ευχή μοσχοβολάς
    / ma san efhi moshovolas
    then again, like a "wish" (prayer) you "sweetly smell"
    δυο φύλλα δώσ' μου της καρδιάς
    / dio filla dos' mou tis kardias
    two "leaves", "offer" me of the "heart"
    γιατί είμαι γυμνωμένη
    / yati ime yimnomeni
    for I am "bare"

    Or not, as the reply above was displayed in a matter of seconds. But I think there is something wrong cause opening the forum took me more than usual.

    Καληνύχτα, Azim μου, και γλύκα ονείρα!

    I'm great.... haha... Good to be at work today

    Savnet deg også!

    May I ask what the word "pswnio" means exactly?
    "Ποιος ταξιδεύει στα μάτια σου;
    Και ποιός ξαγρυπνά στο κορμί σου;

    I am "glad" you were ... "happy" ... with your "day at work" ... !!! ... ... ... ...


    Ofcourse you may "ask" ... anything you "like to know" ... it is a "pleasure" to be "of your service" ... "Aphroditian Libran 9" ... !!! ... ... ... ...

    ... "ψώνιο" ... literally, "what one purchases" ...

    ... metaphorically, ... it may "mean" a very "gullible", "naive" "credilous" person... ... ...

    ... or, ... a "disturbed" person ... as in "mad" ... ... ...

    ... more "commonly nowadays used" to ... "describe" ... a person that is "EXTREMELY INTO 'something' ... BUT (AND) NOT with the ... "corresponding" ... "talent" ... !!! ... ... ... (as for example "this" is "said a lot" in "Greece" ... about ... "singers" ... that WANT to "buy" the "image" of "BEING" a "singer" but (and) don't have "what it takes! ..." ... well, basically this is "used" for ... "burying" ... as it "called" ... !!! when people "talk badly of others" ... !!! ... ... ...


    ANYWAY, ... is it "clear" ... ?!? ... do you "see" ... ?!? ... ... ...
