Like A Bird Without Wings

Its a soft lullaby, poem, n song most beautiful one I ever heard. Can some one please translate it for me in the english greek transliteration form. Not too familiar with the artist, but saw a concert on television, and fell in love with it. SHOW IS SPECTACULAR AND MUSIC WONDERFUL!



Song :Like a bird without wings
Artist: Celtic Thunder


Like a bird without wings
That longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying.
Like a song without words,
Like a world without music,
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me.


I get so lonely, when you’re away
I count every moment, I wait every day,
Until you’re home again
And hug me so tight
That’s when I know
Everything is alright.

Like a bird without wings
That longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying.
Like a song without words
Like a world without music,
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me.

You’re my guardian angel
My light and my guide
Your hand on my shoulder
And you by my side.
You make everything beautiful,
You make me complete.
Everything in my world
I lay at your feet..

Like a church with no steeple,
Where a bell never rings.
In a town without people,
Where no voice in the choir ever sings.
If a boat on the ocean
Would be lost with no sail,
Then without your devotion
Surely all that I dreamed of would fail.

Like a song without words
Like a world without music,
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me

I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me

Like a bird without wings
San pouli horis ftera

Like a bird without wings
San pouli horis ftera
That longs to be flying,
Pou lahtara na petaksi,
Like a motherless child
San pedi horis mitera
Left lonely and crying.
Egkatalimmeno ke klameno.
Like a song without words,
San tragoudi dihos leksis,
Like a world without music,
San enan kosmo horis mousiki,
I wouldn’t know what to do
De tha iksera ti na kano
I’d be lost without you
Tha imoun hamenos horis esena
Watchin’ over me.
Na me prosehis.


I get so lonely, when you’re away
Niotho toso monos, otan ise makria
I count every moment, I wait every day,
Metro tin kathe stigmi, perimeno kathe mera,
Until you’re home again
Mehri na erthis sto spiti ksana
And hug me so tight
Kai na me agkaliaseis sfihta
That’s when I know
Tote tha ksero
Everything is alright.
Oti ola ine kala.

Like a bird without wings
San pouli horis ftera
That longs to be flying,
Pou lahtara na petaksi,
Like a motherless child
San pedi horis mitera
Left lonely and crying.
Egkatalimmeno ke klameno.
Like a song without words,
San tragoudi dihos leksis,
Like a world without music,
San enan kosmo horis mousiki,
I wouldn’t know what to do
De tha iksera ti na kano
I’d be lost without you
Tha imoun hamenos horis esena
Watchin’ over me.
Na me prosehis.

You’re my guardian angel
Ise o filakas angelos mou
My light and my guide
To fos mou kai o odigos mou
Your hand on my shoulder
Ise to heri ston omo mou
And you by my side.
Ki esi (ise) sto plevro mou.
You make everything beautiful,
Ta kanis ola na miazoun omorfa,
You make me complete.
Me simplironis.
Everything in my world
Ola osa eho ston kosmo afto
I lay at your feet..
Ta afino sta podia sou...

Like a church with no steeple,
San ekklisia horis kampanario,
Where a bell never rings.
Opou kampana pote den ihi.
In a town without people,
Se mia poli horis katikous,
Where no voice in the choir ever sings.
Opou kamia foni den tragouda pote stin horodia.
If a boat on the ocean
An ena plio ston okeano
Would be lost with no sail,
Hanotan horis pani,
Then without your devotion
Tote horis tin afosiosi sou
Surely all that I dreamed of would fail.
Sigoura ola osa onireftika tha apotihenan.

Like a song without words
San tragoudi dihos leksis
Like a world without music,
San enan kosmo horis mousiki,
I wouldn’t know what to do
De tha iksera ti na kano
I’d be lost without you
Tha imoun hamenos horis esena
Watchin’ over me
Na me prosehis

I wouldn’t know what to do
De tha iksera ti na kano
I’d be lost without you
Tha imoun hamenos horis esena
Watchin’ over me
Na me prosehis

Σαν πουλί χωρίς φτερά

Σαν πουλί χωρίς φτερά
Που λαχταρά να πετάξει,
Σαν παιδί χωρίς μητέρα
Εγκαταλειμμένο και κλαμένο.
Σαν τραγούδι δίχως λέξεις
Σαν ένα κόσμο χωρίς μουσική,
Δε θα ήξερα τι να κάνω
Θα ήμουν χαμένος χωρίς εσένα
Να με προσέχεις.

Νιώθω τόσο μόνος όταν είσαι μακριά
Μετρώ την κάθε στιγμή, περιμένω κάθε μέρα,
Μέχρι να έρθεις στο σπίτι ξανά
Και να με αγκαλιάσεις σφιχτά
Τότε θα ξέρω
Ότι όλα είναι καλά.

Σαν πουλί χωρίς φτερά
Που λαχταρά να πετάξει,
Σαν παιδί χωρίς μητέρα
Εγκαταλειμμένο και κλαμένο.
Σαν τραγούδι δίχως λέξεις
Σαν ένα κόσμο χωρίς μουσική,
Δε θα ήξερα τι να κάνω
Θα ήμουν χαμένος χωρίς εσένα
Να με προσέχεις.

Είσαι ο φύλακας άγγελός μου
Το φως μου και ο οδηγός μου
Είσαι το χέρι στον ώμο μου
Κι εσύ (είσαι) στο πλευρό μου.
Τα κάνεις όλα να μοιάζουν όμορφα,
Με συμπληρώνεις.
Όλα όσα έχω στον κόσμο αυτό
Τα αφήνω στα πόδια σου…

Σαν εκκλησία χωρίς καμπαναριό,
Όπου καμπάνα ποτέ δεν ηχεί.
Σε μια πόλη χωρίς κατοίκους,
Όπου καμιά φωνή δεν τραγουδά ποτέ στην χορωδία.
Αν ένα πλοίο στον ωκεανό
Χανόταν χωρίς (να έχει) πανί,
Τότε χωρίς την αφοσίωσή σου
Σίγουρα, όλα όσα ονειρεύτηκα θα αποτύχαιναν.

Σαν τραγούδι δίχως λέξεις
Σαν ένα κόσμο χωρίς μουσική,
Δε θα ήξερα τι να κάνω
Θα ήμουν χαμένος χωρίς εσένα
Να με προσέχεις.

Δε θα ήξερα τι να κάνω
Θα ήμουν χαμένος χωρίς εσένα
Να με προσέχεις.
