Eleni

Καλι μερα σας,

I am looking for Greek and English lyrics for a song simply entitled, "Eleni," sung by Kostas Mantzios. I do not know if he is the composer as well, but it is a beautiful song about Helen of Troy. The refrain begins, "Δεν ειναι ι Ελενι..."

I cannot find the lyrics anywhere. I hope someone out there can help me!

Ευχαριστω πολι.

Stasou stasou des ta sfalmata sou / Wait wait see your mistakes
o kairos arhizei kai metra / time is running
viasou viasou kane tin kardia sou / hurry hurry make your heart
dasos methismeno me poulia / forest drunk from birds

den einai i eleni pou se perimenei / it's not helen that's waiting for you
mia zoi hameni / a lost life
trehi olotahos / is running very fast
stin poliorkia kai stin ....(i cant get that sorry)
vale tin teleia / put a foolstop
psakse gia troho / look for a wheel

Ehis mathi mia zoi sta lathi / you've learned a life full of mistakes
i zoi se paizei sta psila / life plays with you very high
ipsi vathi kai poios tha sou mathi / ups and downs and who will teach you
pos i agapi menei sta yiapia / that love stays in the ruins


its a difficult song to translate...i hope i helped

Ευχαριστω!

I am so pleased to have this much. My Greek is only so-so and it's hard for me with recordings. I am very grateful.
