Archipelagos

The song is taken from a Greek TV program. I like it very much and I ask
your help in translating it to English.

Αρχιπέλαγος

Εκτύπωση από: stixoi.info: ΠαλωσόÏ�ισες

Στίχοι: Κώστας Μπαλαχούτης
Μουσική: Χρήστος Παπαδόπουλος
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Πασχάλης Τερζής
Άλλες ερμηνείες: Μαρίνα Μανωλάκου

Βιαστικό βήμα, μοιάζεις με κύμα
Με χτυπάς νιώθω σαν μικρό σκαρί μες στην ταραχή
Σ' άλλη γη ξένη, η καρδιά μένει
Μου μιλάς βρίσκω άγνωστες φωνές λέξεις μυστικές

Φωτεινό βλέμμα, νιώθω το αίμα
Με κοιτάς βρίσκω όσα μου 'χουν πει μύθοι μαγικοί
Σ' άλλη γη ξένη, η καρδιά μένει
Μου μιλάς βρίσκω άγνωστες φωνές λέξεις μυστικές

Πες μου ποια είναι η πατρίδα
Του έρωτα η ελπίδα, στα μάτια σου το φως
Πες μου πόσο θα κρατήσει
Ο ήλιος απ τη δύση, στο αρχιπέλαγος...

Thanks A lot

Αρχιπέλαγος - Archipelago

Βιαστικό βήμα, μοιάζεις με κύμα - Hasty step, you resemble with the wave
Με χτυπάς νιώθω σαν μικρό σκαρί μες στην ταραχή - you hit me and I feel like a small stock(for ships) in the middle of the turbulence
Σ' άλλη γη ξένη, η καρδιά μένει - In other foreign ground, the heart remains
Μου μιλάς βρίσκω άγνωστες φωνές λέξεις μυστικές- You speak to me and I find secret words with unknown voices
Φωτεινό βλέμμα, νιώθω το αίμα - Bright look, I feel the blood
Με κοιτάς βρίσκω όσα μου 'χουν πει μύθοι μαγικοί - You look at me and I find those who tell magic fables
Σ' άλλη γη ξένη, η καρδιά μένει- In other foreign ground, the heart remains
Μου μιλάς βρίσκω άγνωστες φωνές λέξεις μυστικές- You speak to me and I find secret words with unknown voices

Πες μου ποια είναι η πατρίδα - Tell me what is the homeland
Του έρωτα η ελπίδα, στα μάτια σου το φως - The love the hope, the light in your eyes
Πες μου πόσο θα κρατήσει - Tell me how many I will keep
Ο ήλιος απ τη δύση, στο αρχιπέλαγος...- The sun from the west, in the archipelago


Hope this translation is mostely correct..

Hasty step, you resemble the wave
you hit me and I feel like a smal boat in the rough sea
on a foreign land the heart resides,
you talk to me and I find unknown voices, mystic words

Bright look, I feel the blood,
you stare at me and I find all the magic fables have told me,
on a foreign land the heart resides,
you talk to me and ? find unknown voices, mystic words

Tell me what is homeland,
(tell me what is) the hope of love, the light on your eyes,
tell me how long the sun from the West will last on the Archipelagos.

I apologize for the malformed Unicode characters. My MAC book was playing. I was trying to say that I agree by and large with 'Omorfi''s translation but I provided a more free type of my interpretation, changing slightly some of the words.

George

Thanks for your "interpretation"! Guess you can see that I don't know Greek much, lol.

And you live in Norway as well??

Hei,

Yes, it is my fourth year of life here and so far I have managed to survive :-) . I was listening to "Archipelagos", when I wanted to check out something on the lyrics, so I googled and the thread came up. That's how I subscribed.

Hei igjen,

Det er bra Hvor i Vest-Hellas da? Kanskje jeg spørrer for mye! haha..

Nei, det er fint. Du sporre ikke så mye. ;-)

Kanskje du vet om "Agrinio", "Lefkada","Kefalonia" og "Ithaki" på venstre ("Ionion pelagos") side? Jeg kommer fra Agrinio.

gözde ışık nerde sevgi deyimi
ligth in eye where is the love expression
söyle ne kadar sürecek
tell me how much will it go on
batının güneşi ufukta işi
the sun of the west works on the horizon

Φωτεινό βλέμμα, νιώθω το αίμα
Bright glance, I feel the blood
Με κοιτάς, βρίσκω όσα μου 'χουν πει μύθοι μαγικοί
You look at me, I find what they have told me the magic fables
Σ' άλλη γη ξένη, η καρδιά μένει
In other foreign land, the heart stays

Του έρωτα η ελπίδα, στα μάτια σου το φως
The hope of the love, in your eyes the light
Πες μου πόσο θα κρατήσει
Tell me, how much is gonna last
Ο ήλιος απ τη δύση, στο αρχιπέλαγος...
The sun from the setting, in archipelago…

That's my translation. I hope that this one will help you. The turkish translation is not mine cause I don't speak turkish.

efharisto poli Maria

Mariah, you know also Turkish?
It s cool you translate both Turk and Greek lyrics of song.

But I hear some different TURKISH lyrics (I m not sure, for a long times I havent listened song but I used to listen this song a lot and I remember lyrics like this):::

SÖYLE AŞKI GÖRDÜN NERDE ("nerede" the same)
TELL ME WHERE DID YOU SEE THE LOVE
GÖZÜNDE IŞIK NERDE
WHERE IS THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYE (meaning can be here like: WHERE HAS THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYE GONE?)
SEVGİDE İMİ
IS IT IN LOVE? (the light in the last sentence specified like IT here i think)
(gramatically it is SEVGİDE Mİ, but for well saying in song or poems sometimes Turkish can be flexible like this)

SÖYLE NE KADAR SÜRECEK
TELL ME HOW MUCH WILL IT GO ON
BATININ GÜNEŞİ
THE SUN OF THE WEST
UFUKTA IŞIK
LIGHT ON HORIZON

.......

if I made a mistake, forgive me;
1: i havent listened the song for a long times
2: I ALL had listened this song (ALSO TURKISH LYRICS) by Greek singers
Never listened by Turkish singer, so I might understand some different about lyrics...

I love this song and I love male (sings Greek lyrics) and female (sings Turkish lyrics) singers in this song!!!
