Title: Ola ta s' agapo Lyrics: Agelos Piriochos Music: Christos Lagos (died in 2003) Sung by Cleopatra CD: Ola ta s' agapo (LYRA 1994) Track no: 03
Μ' ένα τσιγάρο "σ' αγαπώ"
With just an "I love you" cigarette
κι ένα πακέτο θλίψη,
and a packet full of sorrow,
είναι το στόμα μου πiκρό
my mouth feels bitter
και θα μου λείψει.
and I'm gonna miss this feeling.
Το αγγιγμά σου στο λαιμό
Your touch on my neck
κι ένα φιλί φεγγάρι.
and a kiss that seems like moon.
Το σβήνω μ' αναστεναγμό
I put (the cigarette) out, with a sigh
και πριν με πάρει.
and before make me feel worse.
Όλα τα "σ' αγαπώ" που εμείς οι δυο,
All the "I love you"s that we two
δεν καταφέραμε, δεν είπαμε ποτέ μας,
missed, never told to each other,
σαν βρήκαν το παράθυρο ανοιχτό,
when they found the window opened,
βγήκαν στο φως και φώναζαν "συλλάβετέ μας".
they got diffused into light and yelled "Arrest us"
Και ο μπάτσος που τα βρήκε να γυρνούν,
And the cop that found them wandering
τ' άφησε ελεύθερα γιατί είναι τιμωρία,
released them cause they're already under punishment,
τα "σ' αγαπώ" μονάχα τους να ξενυχτούν,
those "I love you"s should spend their nights alone,
είναι ισόβια, είναι και αδικία.
forever, even if this ain't fair.
Μ' ένα τσιγάρο δειλινό
With a cigarette that seems like sunset (seems like ending)
κι ένα πακέτο δάκρυ,
and a packet full of tears
φτιάχνω σκιές
I create shadows
μήπως και βρω κάπου την άκρη.
in a way to find a solution
Ψάχνω σημάδια στη σιωπή,
I look for marks in silence,
ψάχνω φωτογραφίες,
I look for photos,
το "σ'αγαπώ" δεν είν' ντροπή,
the "I love you" has no shame,
θέλει θυσίες.
needs sacrifice.
"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"
