translation of a Kalogiannis's song

Hi all,

I'm new here. I'm Lebanese and I don't understand Greek. I love Greek music a lot and my favorite singers Arvanitaki, Dalaras, Fararantouri and Kalogiannis.
Please I need help with a song of Kalogiannis. It's called "Giganties skepses". Could somebody translate its lyrics into English or French? I keep playing it over and over again these days. It's so moving!

Thanks in advance
Talfin

are you sure about the name of the song? 'cause I can't find it anywhere...

Giganties skepses

I finally found the translation on Theodorakis's site. I wanted to share it with you guys. This is a monumental song composed by Theodorakis.
Mesmerizing poem by Angelos Sikelianos !



Gighanties skepsis/Gigantic thoughts

Gigantic thoughts,
Like clouds of fire or islands of purple
In a mythical sunset,
Lit up in my mind,
Suddenly my whole life flared up
In concern for your new freedom, Greece !

So I did not say:
This is the light of my funeral pyre…
I said, I am the torch of your history,
So let my abandoned body burn like a torch. With this torch
Marching upright, as at the final hour
I shall light up every corner of the Universe,
I shall open the road to the soul,
To the spirit, to your body, Greece.

I spoke and went forward
Holding my burning liver
On your Caucasus,
Every step of mine
Was the first, and was, I thought, the last.
My naked foot trod in your blood,
My naked foot brushed against your bodies,
For my body, my face, my entire spirit
Was mirrored, as in a lake, in your blood.
There, in such a scarlet mirror, Greece

A bottomless mirror, a mirror of abyss
Of your freedom and your thirst,. I saw myself
Moulded out of heavy red clay
A new Adam of the newest creation
That we plan to create for you, Greece.
