"Once upon a time...

... there was a girl who was an amature opera singer in need of text translations and phonetic spelling using the International Phonetic Alphabet. She had been singing since the age of five, and just happened to stumble upon a certain lyric loving forum at age 15. This movement would help her pursue her career in the most classic, professional, and stunningly back-stabbing area of interest."

Nice to be here at such a helpful forum. I've posted a request for some help in German translation and IPA in the German translation forum, and received amazing replies from two members here. Thank you Steela and Esbes, you both were of amazing aid.

I suppose I could go on about myself, but that might be rather vain, wouldn't you think?

Ah well.

I'm a super-de-duper moderator at an accomplished Fable 2 forum, a game for the Xbox, Xbox 360 and PC and have been for almost a year come February. Boy, time flies. I also have a blackbelt in Karate, love photography, and have performed in over 15 musical theater productions.

And I guess there is more about me but who really read all of this post? n_n

Hello melancholy, welcome to the forum. What's your name?
I'm glad you got all the help you needed, and I'm sure you will get some more, you should only ask.. That's why we're here
I love photography too hehe...
Anyway, welcome once again, I really hope you'll enjoy your time spent here.

Greetings,

Adrienne.

My name is Mary Beth, but people usually call me M'bee (MB). Nice signature, Adrienne... what does it say, lol?

Hi MB , we've already met but still I want to say welcome to the forum again
I'm glad that it already proved to be very useful to you. Theater and Karate sounds quite cool!

Hey MB It's in greek.. Song of Despina Vandi

it means:
nor a thanks
nor a word, nor an action, nor a bravo, nor an ok
and nor “I love you”

Welcome MB!

Adrienne, I'm defo stealing your signature for my MSN! lol
Which song is it?

PS
ok i take that back.. but I can't seem to find the entire song translated.. do we not have it or am I just blind ?

Hey Spring my dear, I found this ages ago at this forum:


Δε μου έδειξες ποτέ ότι νοιάστηκες για μας
You never showed that you cared about us
ούτε ένα σημάδι ένα βλέμμα ένα χάδι
nor a sing, a glance, a caress
ότι ίσως εκτιμάς ότι έχω κάνει εγώ
that you maybe appreciate what I’ve done
μα είμαι τόσο αφελής
but I’m so naive
τώρα φεύγεις χωρίς κουβέντα να πεις
now you go away without to say a word

Ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
Nor a thanks
που εγώ σωπαίνω εγώ μιλάω εγώ υπομένω εγώ πονάω
that I keep silent, I talk, I stand, I pain
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
που εγώ σε νιώθω εγώ σε πάω εγώ σ' ακούω σ' αγαπάω
that I feel you, I like you, I listen to you, I love you
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
που εγώ υποφέρω εγώ δακρύζω εγώ συνέχεια σε φροντίζω
that I suffer, I weep, I take care of you all the time

Ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
Nor a thanks
που εγώ έχω κάνει όσα έχω κάνει που για σένα έχω πεθάνει
that I’ve done what I’ve done, that I’ve died for you
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
που εγώ έχω δώσει όσα έχω δώσει και που τώρα έχω τελειώσει
that I’ve given what I’ve given and that now I’ve been vanished
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
ούτε μια λέξη ούτε μια πράξη ούτε ένα μπράβο ούτε ένα εντάξει
nor a word, nor an action, nor a bravo, nor an ok
κι ούτε ένα σ' αγαπώ
and nor “I love you”

Δε σε ένοιαζε ποτέ πως μπορεί να νιώθω εγώ
you never cared about my feelings
άμα κλαίω αν γελάω γενικά πως τα πάω
if I cry, if I laugh, generally how am I
και τις νύχτες αν πονώ
and in the nights if I pain
που μου δείχνεις καθαρά πως για μένα αδιαφορείς
that you show to me clearly that you don’t care about me
όταν φεύγεις χωρίς μια κουβέντα να πεις
when you go away without to say a word

Ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
Nor a thanks
που εγώ σωπαίνω εγώ μιλάω εγώ υπομένω εγώ πονάω
that I keep silent, I talk, I stand, I pain
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
που εγώ σε νιώθω εγώ σε πάω εγώ σ' ακούω σ' αγαπάω
that I feel you, I like you, I listen to you, I love you
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
που εγώ υποφέρω εγώ δακρύζω εγώ συνέχεια σε φροντίζω
that I suffer, I weep, I take care of you all the time

Ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
Nor a thanks
που εγώ έχω κάνει όσα έχω κάνει που για σένα έχω πεθάνει
that I’ve done what I’ve done, that I’ve died for you
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
που εγώ έχω δώσει όσα έχω δώσει και που τώρα έχω τελειώσει
that I’ve given what I’ve given and that now I’ve been vanished
ούτε ένα ευχαριστώ
nor a thanks
ούτε μια λέξη ούτε μια πράξη ούτε ένα μπράβο ούτε ένα εντάξει
nor a word, nor an action, nor a bravo, nor an ok
κι ούτε ένα σ' αγαπώ
and nor “I love you”

Oute Ena Euxaristo

De mu edikses pote niastikes gia mas
Ute ena simadi, ute ena vlemma, ena hadi
Oti isos ektimas osa eho kani ego
Ma ime toso afelis
Tora fevgis horis mia kuventa na pis

Ute ena efharisto
Pu ego sopeno, ego milao, ego ipomeno, ego ponao
Ute ena efharisto
Pu ego se niotho, ego se pao, ego s' akuo, s' agapao
Ute ena efharisto
Pu ego ipofero, ego dakrizo, ego sinehia se frontizo
Ki ute ena afharisto
Ute ena efharisto pu ego eho kani osa eho kani
Pu gia sena eho pethani
Ute ena efharisto
Pu ego eho dosi osa eho dosi ke pu tora eho teliosi
Ute ena efharisto ute mia leksi, ute mia praksi
Ute ena bravo, ute ena entaksi
Ki ute ena s' agapo

De se eniaze pote
Pos mpori na niotho ego
Ama kleo, an gelao genika pos ta pao
Ke tis nihtes an pono
Pu mu dihnis kathara pos gia mena adiaforis
Otan fevgis horis mia kuventa na pis

Ute ena efharisto.... x2
