Despina Vandi - Paei Paei lyrics + translations

Γειά σου, I was wondering: I just discovered Despina Vandi's new album, and there is one song which caught my attention from the beginning. Is there anyone who might be able to find the lyrics/στίχοι of Despina Vandi's song "Paei Paei"? As I said, it's from her latest album, "C'Est La Vie". And if someone would be so kind to put the lyrics/στίχοι on this thread, is there, perhaps, also someone who might do the trouble of translating it into English?

It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ευχαριστώ πολύ in advance!

For now I at least found the chorus of the song:

Πάει πάει πάει πέφτει κάτω η χαρά και σπάει
άλλη μια νύχτα που δύσκολα παίρνει
πάει πάει πάει θα περάσει όμως που θα πάει
κ' η ζωή ειν' ωραία όταν σου γελάει

I hope this makes sense to anyone? :s

Sooo you found out about her new album as I can see!

Είναι η ζωή σαν τον έρωτα απρόβλεπτη
Life is unexpected, like love
Αλλού την πας και αλλού σε πηγαίνει αυτή
You take her elsewhere but it takes you elsewhere too
Μη με ξυπνάς τώρα που τ’ όνειρό μου ζω
Don't wake me up now that I'm living my dream
Μη με τραβάς άσε με να απογειωθώ
Don't pull me, let me take off
Βαρέθηκα ό,τι φτιάχνω να μου χαλάει
I'm sick of seeing broken whatever I fix
Και τ’ όνειρο δευτερόλεπτα να κρατάει
And the dream lasting for seconds
Βαρέθηκα να ‘μαι στο τέλος της ουράς
I'm sick of being in the end of the queue
Να σκέφτομαι μόνο εγώ πάντοτε για μας
Only me always thinking of us

Πάει πάει πάει πέφτει κάτω η χαρά και σπάει
Gone gone gone joy falls down and breaks
άλλη μια νύχτα που δύσκολα περνάει
one more night that passes difficultly
πάει πάει πάει θα περάσει όμως πού θα πάει
Gone gone gone but it i bet it will heal
κ' η ζωή ειν' ωραία όταν σου γελάει
and life is wonderful when it smiles to you

Είναι η ζωή σαν τον έρωτα απρόβλεπτη
Life is unexpected, like love
Σαν μια ζαριά που δεν ξέρεις αν θα σου βγει
Like a throw of dice that you don't know if it will be good
Το μέλλον μου φτιάχνω μες στο κεφάλι μου
I make my future the way I want to in my head
Σαν τραγικός ήρωας ζω στην πλάνη μου
I am living my delusion like a tragic hero
Η μάνα μου τι μου είπε θυμήθηκα
I remembered what my mother told me
Μ’ ανάδρομο τον Ερμή μου γεννήθηκα
that I was born while Hermes was in retrogression *(astrological stuff that I don't know how they can be said!)
Μικρό παιδί σ’ έναν κόσμο που γέρασε
Little kid in a world that grew old
Πήρε ο Θεός τ’ όνειρό μου και γέλασε
God took away my dream and laughed

Πάει πάει πάει πέφτει κάτω η χαρά και σπάει
άλλη μια νύχτα που δύσκολα περνάει
πάει πάει πάει θα περάσει όμως πού θα πάει
κ' η ζωή ειν' ωραία όταν σου γελάει

Πάει πάει πάει πέφτει κάτω η χαρά και σπάει
άλλη μια νύχτα που δύσκολα περνάει

Πάει πάει πάει πέφτει κάτω η χαρά και σπάει
άλλη μια νύχτα που δύσκολα περνάει
πάει πάει πάει θα περάσει όμως πού θα πάει
κ' η ζωή ειν' ωραία όταν σου γελάει

Not a word-to-word translation... But the meaning is okay I think

My god... you are even faster than Pocahontas (i.e. like the wind )!!! This is going to be the second time I will thank you, but Jesus, Josef and Mary on a camel: you deserve it SO MUCH!!!

Now I know the meaning of the song it is even way more fun to hear it! :.) Definitely my fave of her latest album (as well as "Sunday"... the rest is... well... sort of getting to it ).

Evxaristo poly lalalaro! You don't even now how happy I am with this right now!

Hahahaha!!! You 're ALWAYS welcome =)
Yes, it's one of the good songs out of the album! Sunday is a bit better i think though "Koritsi Prama" is also a good and catchy song =D

"Sunday", indeed, is very good, yes! Why won't Déspina create an entire album full of songs like "Sunday", and (from her previous album) "Destiny"? I think it might set her apart from the rest.
