    Default Giorgos Dalaras - Kryfi Afi

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping somebody could help me out with this song bij Giorgos Dalaras. I'm a huge fan of his music but my Greek is still very bad and I can only understand a few words...

    Unfortunately I couldn't find a Greek version of the lyrics anywhere, but I did find the song on Youtube, here it is Γιώργος Νταλάρας - Κρυφή αφή

    So please, anyone who can help me out? Thanks so much!!!

    Η θάλασσα στα στήθια σου -// - The sea is on your bosom
    κι εγώ στεριά και πέτρα -//- and I am land and rocks
    κρυφή αφή, πατρίδα μου -//- A hidden sense, my homeland -
    τις ξενιτιές μου μέτρα. -//- do feel my pain in foreign lands.

    Ο έρωτας κι η μοναξιά -//- Love and loneliness
    έχουν την ίδια ρίζα -//- grow from the same root
    αγάπη μου πολύχρωμη -//- Oh my iridescent love
    μάτια βαθιά μου γκρίζα. -//- my intense grey eyes.

    Γυμνά νησιά τα χείλη σου -//- Bare islands are your lips
    τών ενοίκων οι μύθοι -//- and the myths of your dwellers
    φιλιά γλυκές μαρμαρυγές -//- are kisses and gentle shimmers
    η μνήμη και η λήθη.-//- (bringing) both memories and oblivion.

    Wow thanks, that was quick I have a feeling there are a LOT of metaphores in these lyrics... Do you know if they are 100% correct? I'm not trying to be annoying or anything, but I'm trying to learn the language so if they're not completely correct then I'm learning it wrong
