    Could someone please translate to English ? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    θα ξαναπάς,
    μη μου μιλάς για ένα σημάδι στο κορμί,μη μου μιλάς,
    θ'αναζητάς τις νύχτες που έκλαψες,
    παντού, θ'αναζητάς,
    θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    θα ξαναπάς.

    Δεν ωφελεί το παρελθόν σου να κοιτάς σαν φυλακή,
    και μην ρωτάς που πήγε τόση αγάπη, τόσος έρωτας.
    Μια ρουφηξιά, που αγγίζει πάντα
    την ψυχή στην μοναξιά,
    και σιωπηλά, άσε ένα δάκρυ στην
    καρδιά σου να κυλά.

    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    θα ξαναπάς,
    μη μου μιλάς για ένα σημάδι στο κορμί,μη μου μιλάς,
    θ'αναζητάς τις νύχτες που έκλαψες,
    παντού, θ'αναζητάς,
    θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    θα ξαναπάς.

    Ποιος ουρανός,να σε χωρέσει,
    θάλασσα κι ωκεανός,
    ποια μουσική, στα βήματά σου τα συρτά να χορευτεί;
    Ένας λυγμός θάναι στα στήθια σου
    για πάντα ο χωρισμός,
    σκέψη θολή,σε κάθε γλέντι σου σκιά
    και απειλή.

    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    θα ξαναπάς,
    μη μου μιλάς για ένα σημάδι στο κορμί, μη μου μιλάς,
    θ'αναζητάς τις νύχτες που έκλαψες,
    παντού, θ'αναζητάς,
    θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    να ξαναπάς.

    Just a try. I hope someone will correct it cause there are some things I'm not so sure about

    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    You'll go again to Thessaloniki that you love
    θα ξαναπάς,
    You'll go again
    μη μου μιλάς για ένα σημάδι στο κορμί,μη μου μιλάς,
    Don't talk to me about a mark on the body, don't talk to me
    θ'αναζητάς τις νύχτες που έκλαψες,
    You'll seek the nights that you cried
    παντού, θ'αναζητάς,
    Everywhere you'll seek
    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    You'll go again to Thessaloniki that you love
    θα ξαναπάς,
    You'll go again


    Δεν ωφελεί το παρελθόν σου να κοιτάς σαν φυλακή,
    There's no use to look at your past as a prison
    και μην ρωτάς που πήγε τόση αγάπη, τόσος έρωτας.
    And don't ask where did it go so much love, so much passion
    Μια ρουφηξιά, που αγγίζει πάντα
    A sip that always touches
    την ψυχή στην μοναξιά,
    The soul in lonliness
    και σιωπηλά, άσε ένα δάκρυ στην
    And silently, let a tear
    καρδιά σου να κυλά.
    Drop in your heart

    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    You'll go again to Thessaloniki that you love
    θα ξαναπάς,
    You'll go again
    μη μου μιλάς για ένα σημάδι στο κορμί,μη μου μιλάς,
    Don't talk to me about a mark on the body, don't talk to me
    θ'αναζητάς τις νύχτες που έκλαψες,
    You'll seek the nights that you cried
    παντού, θ'αναζητάς,
    Everywhere you'll seek
    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    You'll go again to Thessaloniki that you love
    θα ξαναπάς,
    You'll go again

    Ποιος ουρανός,να σε χωρέσει,
    What sky, to contain you
    θάλασσα κι ωκεανός,
    Sea and ocean
    ποια μουσική, στα βήματά σου τα συρτά να χορευτεί;
    What music, to dance a round dance in your steps?
    Ένας λυγμός θάναι στα στήθια σου
    A sob will be in your chest
    για πάντα ο χωρισμός,
    For ever the separation
    σκέψη θολή,σε κάθε γλέντι σου σκιά
    Clouded thought, at every feast your shadow
    και απειλή.
    And threat

    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    You'll go again to Thessaloniki that you love
    θα ξαναπάς,
    You'll go again
    μη μου μιλάς για ένα σημάδι στο κορμί,μη μου μιλάς,
    Don't talk to me about a mark on the body, don't talk to me
    θ'αναζητάς τις νύχτες που έκλαψες,
    You'll seek the nights that you cried
    παντού, θ'αναζητάς,
    Everywhere you'll seek
    Θα ξαναπάς στην Σαλονίκη που αγαπάς
    You'll go again to Thessaloniki that you love
    να ξαναπάς,
    Go again

    Thank you, Maria I was afraid I got rusty because I haven't had time lately to study anything about Greek, but seems that I'm still able to understand a text

    Kisses to you too

    I'm pretty sure that this is what exactly Dya said

    Thank you, boubou

    Hey, what are you two talking about behind my back?

    Ohhh, boubou, I saw your correction in the e-mail I received, cause you deleted it before I got the chance to see it in here.

    Yes, exactly, that's what I meant:
    to look at your past=to think of your past=to consider your past as a prison.

    I chose the first one, because it was closer to the initial text

    I'm sorry, it was just an extra comment, which was not necessary, I just wanted to add this perspective...

    Well,
    I have to say that you have a really good command of greek dya!
    I really mean this! Well-done!

    Thank you again Now I'm blushing

    But I have good teachers around here and if it hadn't been for this forum and for all of you who do such a great job in here, I wouldn't have had any command of Greek whatsoever!
