Katy Garbi: Apsiha pragmata

Would somebody please be so kind and translate me the lyrics of Kaitoulas most beautiful song ever, Apsiha pragmata from "Emones idees" album. This song is very special to me since I once asked her to sing it for me at a bouzoukia in Athens and she wanted me to go on stage with her when she sang it. So the song really means a lot. Thank you in advance!

I have translated this song in the past, so here it is:

Άψυχα πράγματα
Ápsiha prágmata
Lifeless things

Μ’ ένα σημάδι παλιό κι ένα φιλί μακρινό
M’ éna simádi palió ki éna filí makrinó
With an old mark and a distant kiss
Ψάχνω διέξοδο μες στα σκοτάδια μου
Psáhno diéxodo mes sta skotádia mou
I’m looking for a way out of my darkness
Πάλι στο φως σου να βγω
Páli sto fos sou na vgo
To go out to your light again
Κι έχω στο σπίτι δικά σου αντικείμενα
Ki ého sto spíti diká sou antikímena
And i have in the house your objects
Λες κι είσαι ακόμα εδώ
Les ki íse akóma edó
As if you were still here

Άψυχα πράγματα, ψάχνω χαράματα
Ápsiha prágmata, psáhno harámata
Lifeless things, i’m looking for in the dawn
Λίγη να πάρω ψυχή
Lígi na páro psihí
To take a little soul
Κι έχω παράδεισο μ’ ένα πουκάμισο
Ki ého parádiso m’ éna poukámiso
And i have the paradise with a shirt
Που το φορούσες εσύ
Pou to foroúses esí
That you were wearing it

Μ’ ένα μπορεί στη ματιά και μια παλιά σου αγκαλιά
M’ éna borí sti matiá ke mia paliá agkaliá
With a maybe in the sight and an old hug
Βρίσκω τη δύναμη εδώ που χάνομαι
Vrísko ti dínami edó pou hánome
I found the strength, here where i’m vanishing
Σκλάβα σου να ‘μαι ξανά
Skláva sou na ‘me xaná
To be your slave again
Γύρω μου πάντα παλιά μικροπράγματα
Gíro mou pánta paliá mikroprágmata
Around of me always old little things
Με τη δική σου σκιά
Me ti dikí sou skiá
With your shadow

Άψυχα πράγματα, ψάχνω χαράματα
Ápsiha prágmata, psáhno harámata
Lifeless things, i’m looking for in the dawn
Λίγη να πάρω ψυχή
Lígi na páro psihí
To take a little soul
Κι έχω παράδεισο μ’ ένα πουκάμισο
Ki ého parádiso m’ éna poukámiso
And i have the paradise with a shirt
Που το φορούσες εσύ
Pou to foroúses esí
That you were wearing it

Άψυχα πράγματα, ψάχνω χαράματα
Ápsiha prágmata, psáhno harámata
Lifeless things, i’m looking for in the dawn
Λίγη να πάρω ψυχή
Lígi na páro psihí
To take a little soul
Κι έχω παράδεισο μ’ ένα πουκάμισο
Ki ého parádiso m’ éna poukámiso
And i have the paradise with a shirt
Που το φορούσες εσύ
Pou to foroúses esí
That you were wearing it

Thank you sooooooooo much! You don't know what it means to me!

* By the way...the word you can't hear is "borei". M'ena borei sti matia

You're so welcome!

I think that you know Greek better than me. I heard this song millions of times and I couldn't understand it. I never though it was "bori", but you're so right. Thank you. I corrected it and now you'll have the whole translation!

Guess I have a confession to make...I have the cd and I checked the lyrics ...Not a chance I would have known it otherwise!
