    Red face ELENI lyrics - Greek to English

    Have the lyrics of ELENI ever been translated from Greek to English?
    Pls. help! Efcharisto poli!
    ===========================

    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...

    Zoume s’enan kosmo magiko
    we live in a magic world
    me fonto tin Akropoli, to Lykavitto
    and as background (we have) Akropoli, Lycabetus hill
    Gemata ta balkonia, politika aïdonia
    the baconies are full, political nightingales
    Yposchesis ke agapes ke polychrona balonia
    promises and loves and balconies with many years
    ki eftychismena chronia
    and happy years

    Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
    and you Helen and every Helen
    tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni
    of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens
    I zoi sou, na to xeris, ine epikirygmeni
    on your life, know it,(someone) has put a prize on her head
    Na pethenis gia tin Ellada ine allo
    to die for Greece is another matter
    ki allo ekini na se petheni
    and another if its her who forces you to die

    Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
    and you Helen and every Helen
    tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni
    of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens

    Zoume s’enan kosmo magiko
    we live in a magic world
    Ypochthonia doulevi me monadiko skopo
    (it's) working (not in a straigh manner) with an one and only goal
    Na se basi sto pechnidi, ti zoi sou pos tha ftiaxi
    to put you in the game, that it's going to make your life better
    Na sou taxi, na sou taxi tin psychi sou na rimaxi
    to promise you, to promise you to cosume your soul

    Ki otan ftasi na elenchi tis elpidas sou ton pono
    and when ti arrives to control the pain of your hope
    den tou ftani etouto mono
    it's not enough for him
    Me glykologa se perni ap’to cheri
    with kind words takes you by the hand
    Se vaftizi tis Elladas nikokyri
    baptizes you Greece's family-man

    Ki eki pou les allaxane ta pragmata ke sikonis to potiri
    and just right when you say things changed and you rise the glass
    Arpazi, klevi t’oniro sou ke tou kani charakiri
    takes over, steals your dream and does to it hara-kiri

    Ki esy Eleni...
    and you Helen
