Look into my eyes

..


music by Manos Hadjidakis
verse by Nikos Gatsos



Κοίτα με στα μάτια
/ Kita me sta matia
"Look" into my "eyes"

Κοίτα με στα μάτια κι έλα πιο κοντά
/ kita me sta matia ki ela pio konta
“look” into my “eyes” and “come closer”
άγια μου καρδιά κι αγαπημένη
/ aya mou kardia ki agapimeni
"sacred heart" of mine and “beloved”
άκουσα κι απόψε πόρτα να χτυπά
/ akousa ki apopse porta na htipa
“heard”, also tonight, (a) “door” (being) “knocked”
πέτρες θα κυλάν οι πεθαμένοι
/ petres tha kilan I pethameni
"stones" are (probably) “rolling”, (by) the “dead” (the “dead” are probably “rolling down” “rocks”)

Πώς να το ξεχάσω κείνο το παιδί
/ pos na to xehaso kino to pedi
how may I “forget”, “that child”
στο περιβολάκι τ' Αϊ-Νικόλα;
/ sto perivolaki t’ Ai-Nikola ?
at the “little orchard” of “Saint-Nicola”
Έπινε τον ήλιο σα χλωρό κλαδί
/ epine ton ilio sa hloro kladi
(the child) was “drinking-in” the sun, like a “green-tender sprig”
πριν το θυμηθούν τα πολυβόλα
/ prin to thimithoun ta polivola
before (the child) was “recalled” (by) the “machine-guns”

Κοίτα με στα μάτια και με το σουγιά
/ kita me sta matia ke me to souya
"look" into my “eyes” and with (a) “penknife”
πάρε από τη φλέβα μου μελάνι
/ pare apo ti fleva mou melani
"take" from my “vain”, “ink”
γράψε τ' όνομά του στην αστροφεγγιά
/ grapse t’ onoma tou stin astrofegia
"write" (the child’s) “name” on (in) the “starlight”
χέρι φονικό να μην το φτάνει
/ heri foniko na min to ftani
(so that) (the, a) “lethal hand” may not “reach” (the child)

Πού είσαι Πέτρο; Πού είσαι Γιάννη;
/ pou ise Petro ? pou ise Yanni ?
- where are you Petro ? where are you Yanni ?
Στου κάτω κόσμου το σιντριβάνι
/ stou kato kosmou to sintrivani
- at "under-world’s" "spring-fountain"
Νεράκι πίνω να λησμονήσω
/ neraki pino na lismoniso
little "water" I (to) "drink", to "fail from remembering" (to become “oblivious”)
Γύρισε πίσω! Γύρισε πίσω!
/ yirise piso ! yirise piso !
- come back ! come back !

It's not this one...and I can't seem to find another one with the same title, which means that, for the moment, it's impossible for me to listen to it....

Still, at the moment I'm enjoing Τα Παιδιά Του Πειραιά

... αλήθεια ... (α + λήθη)

... "α-" ... "depriving 'a' "

... "λήθη" ... "oblivion"


subsequently, ...

... "αλήθεια" ... "that which may NOT 'pass' into oblivion" ...


Therefore, ... "unable" to not "recognize" ... your "αλήθεια" ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...
