Κόκκινο τριαντάφυλλο
Red rose

Κάθε πρωί ξεκινούσαμε να πάμε στη δουλειά
every morning we started to go to work
στο λεωφορείο γελούσαμε είμαστε δυο παιδιά
in the bus we were laughing, (like)we were two kids

Κόκκινο τριαντάφυλλο κόκκινο το δειλινό
red rose, red is the sunset

Κάποιο πρωί για τον πόλεμο κινήσαμε μαζί
one morning we started of to go to war together
όλοι μαζί τραγουδούσαμε παλεύαμε μαζί
all together we were singing, we were fioghting together

Κόκκινο τριαντάφυλλο κόκκινο το δειλινό
red rose, red is the sunset

Μέσα στο Μάη σκοτώθηκες το αίμα σου μαβί
In May you were killed , your blood mauve
έβαψε μαύρο τον ουρανό κόκκινο τον καιρό
(your blood)painted the sky black, (your blood painted) the weather(could also be time) red

Κόκκινο τριαντάφυλλο κόκκινο το δειλινό
red rose, red is the sunset

Μαζί σου όλα σκοτώθηκαν όνειρα ιδανικά
Along with you everything died, dreams ideals
γίνανε όλοι φαντάσματα ζούμε συμβατικά
everybody became ghosts, we live conventionally

Κόκκινο τριαντάφυλλο κόκκινο το δειλινό
red rose, red is the sunset

Τώρα οι σημαίες γενήκανε είδη εμπορικά
Now the flags became commercial items
είναι τα όνειρα αγαθά καταναλωτικά
dreams are consumption goods

Κόκκινο τριαντάφυλλο κόκκινο το δειλινό
red rose, red is the sunset

Just joined, and really excited to meet someone who is into singing, I first learned to sing O Kaimos, from a greek/Italian girl friend, by the name of Onella Olympia Delfino. I miss the sharing of Literature and the songs we shared together. I long to experience the taverns she told me about, where music flows easily. Koshie Alias Rosebud
