Η πίκρα σήμερα


Η πίκρα σήμερα
δεν έχει σύνορα
κι εσύ δεν έπρεπε
να μ' αρνηθείς.
Καποτε αλίμονο
στο μεσοχείμωνο
τον ήλιο σου 'φερα
να ζεσταθείς.

Κοίτα πώς κλαίει ο ουρανός
δεν είναι πια γιορτή.
Έγινε τ' όνειρο καπνός
πες μου γιατί, γιατί.

Κοίτα πώς κλάει ο ουρανός
μα εσύ καρδιά μην κλαις
κι όταν χτυπάει ο κεραυνός
τραγούδι εσύ να λες.

Νύχτωσε, βράδιασε
ο κόσμος άδειασε
κρύβω το δάκρυ μου
και καρτερώ.

Μα εσύ δεν έρχεσαι
βρεχει και βρέχεσαι
ποτήρι μου 'δωσες
φαρμακερό.

Η πίκρα σήμερα
/ I pikra simera
The bitterness today


Η πίκρα σήμερα
/ i pikra simera
the bitterness today
δεν έχει σύνορα
/ den ehi sinora
does not have (a) "borderline"
κι εσύ δεν έπρεπε
/ ki esi den eprepe
and you should not have
να μ' αρνηθείς
/ na m' arnithis
"denied" me

Καποτε αλίμονο
/ kapote, alimono
once, alas
στο μεσοχείμωνο
/ sto mesohimono
in nid-winter
τον ήλιο σου 'φερα
/ ton ilio sou 'fera
the "sun", I "brought" to you
να ζεσταθείς
/ na zestathis
to "warm" yourself

Κοίτα πώς κλαίει ο ουρανός
/ kita pos klei o ouranos
"see" how the "sky" is " crying"
δεν είναι πια γιορτή
/ den ine pia yorti
it is not (a) "celebration" anymore
Έγινε τ' όνειρο καπνός
/ eyine t' oniro kapnos
the "dream" "turned into" "smoke"
πες μου γιατί, γιατί
/ pes mou yati, yati
tell me "why", "why"

Κοίτα πώς κλάει ο ουρανός
/ kita pos klei o ouranos
"see" how the "sky" is "crying"
μα εσύ καρδιά μην κλαις

τραγούδι εσύ να λες
/ tragoudi esi na les

Νύχτωσε, βράδιασε
/ nihtose, vradiase

ο κόσμος άδειασε
/ o kosmos adiase

κρύβω το δάκρυ μου
/ krivo to dakri mou
I "hide" my "tear"
και καρτερώ
/ ke kartero
and I "await"

Μα εσύ δεν έρχεσαι
/ ma esi den erhese
but you do not "come"
βρεχει και βρέχεσαι
/ vrehi ke vrehese

ποτήρι μου 'δωσες

Καλησπέρα!!!


I have no doubts as to what these kind of "standards" mean and I will never question something like this. I wouldn't dare nor wouldn't have any reason for doing so. I aknowledge quality when I am faced with it!

But the mind's and the heart's paths are so sinuous that they sometime lead us to something more humanly, thus "imperfect". Sometimes perfection makes us acknowledge our imperfection in a painful way! And even if we pretend we long for perfection we always rely on the "less perfect"! The man is a social animal and will always look for its own kind to join with! We admire the angels but we long for "devils" cause in a crazy way they spice our life!!!

And the translation of the philosophic thoughts from above is that I indulge my mind by reading something like this you posted, but I'll indulge my sinful heart by listening to Mazonakis!!! Woman therefore weak!!!! LOL!!! (That was for getting out of the philosophic mood I've got myself into, trying to give a pertinent reply to your lesson on standards!!! LOL!!)

... adorable dya mou ... !!! ... ... ...


... would never ... "consider" ... "involving" myself, with "lessons on 'standards' ... !!! ..." ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...

Was simply "trying" to "demonstrate" ... "what I had 'in mind' ... " ... for when it "comes" to ... "writing a 'song' for a 'loved one' that is 'missed' ..." ... !!! ... ... ...

Would not "presume" ... the "popularity" ... (and therefore the "attraction" !!!), ... of (or, to)... "other" ... "different" ... "exertions" ... !!! ... ... ...

The "popularity" being that, "they" are ... "applied" ... for all our ..."flippant" ... passions ... !!! ... ... ... !!! ... ... ... !!! ...


You "see", ... I, also, FIRMLY "believe" ... that someone like you ... is "deserving" of ... "that" kind of ... "heartache" ... !!! ... ... ...

The "kind" ... that is "expressed" ... "uniquely"... for the "one" ... "the adorable ONE" ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...


I do "hope" I make myself ... "understandable" ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...
