Πάλι ξύπνησα με κάτι όνειρα
I once again woke up after having those
μισά και τρομαγμένα,
unended and scarying dreams
με σένα…
which included you...
Με άσπρα ρούχα παιδικά
Wearing white childish clothes
μέσα στου δρόμου τα νερά,
being on a road full of dirty water
με σένα, με σένα…
with you, with you...
Πάλι μέθυσα, πάλι έγραψα,
I once again got drunk, I once again wrote,
χίλιες φορές, το όνομά σου
a thousand times, your name
δικά σου, αυτά, που τράβηξα προχτές
it was cause of you, the things that brought me troubles the day before
κι εσύ στην πόρτα σου να κλαις,
and you, standing before your door, crying
για μένα, για μένα…
for me, for me...
Πάλι τίποτα, δεν βρήκα τίποτα να πω,
Nothing again, Ι once again found nothing to say
γυρίζω σαν αερικό,
I keep moving like a spirit would,
με της καρδιάς σου την πυξίδα,
guided by your heart's compass
σε είδα
I saw you
σ' ένα καθρέφτη μαγικό
In a magical mirror
άστραφτες σαν ένα βεγγαλικό,
you were glowing like a firework
σε είδα…
I saw you...
"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"
