    Default Notis Sfakianakis Tu Davatzisu request

    Hello,
    I haven't seen the translation in the Notis category. Could anyone please translate it into English? greetings from Poland,
    Leszek
    ps. if you could say a few words on how/whatNotis is doing these days, I'd be obliged. He has a marvelous voice and sings beautiful songs. Looks like he's been commited to some ideological issues, right? I know he sings about the horrors of war and is quite patriotic. I know thet he's become a sort of Athenian cheuvinist, etc. I don't know much on top of what there is about him in wikipedia, but he seems to be an interesting personality, too.

    Κι αν δε θυμάσαι δεν πειράζει
    And even if you don't remember, it's ok
    κάποτε είμαστε μαζί
    we were once together
    σ' ένα πορνείο στη Βεγγάζη
    in a *****house in Benghazi
    που σ' έσωσα απ' τον νταβατζή
    where I saved you from the pimp

    Κι αν σε πειράζει ξέχασέ το
    And if you're been annoyed, forget about it
    δε σου ζητώ απλοχεριά
    I'm not asking for (your) generosity
    μα όταν αλλάζει ο καιρός πώς με πονάει
    but as weather changes, how painfull becomes
    του νταβατζή σου, του νταβατζή σου
    your pimp's, your pimp's
    του νταβατζή σου η μαχαιριά
    your pimp's stab on me

    Κι αν δε θυμάσαι δεν πειράζει
    And even if you don't remember, it's ok
    το αίμα μου έτρεχε καυτό
    my hot blood gushed
    είδα τον Χάρο με τα μάτια
    I was really close to die
    και από θαύμα μόνο ζω
    And it's a miracle that I still live





    Notis still sings in Athens these days.
    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
    You will never find that life for which you are looking.
    When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
    but life they retained in their own keeping"
