Δεν το'λπιζα η ορφανή

Στίχοι: Φώτης Σούκας
Μουσική: Φώτης Σούκας
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Χαρούλα Αλεξίου

Δεν το΄λπιζα η ορφανή
δεν το΄λπιζα η δόλια
αχ να του΄χα δώσει το φιλί
ορέ τα δυο μου μαύρα μάτια
παρά που τον ξενίτεψα
ορέ και πάει με τα καράβια
καράβια παν΄στη θάλασσα
ορέ και η κόρη πάει στην άμμο
με τα μαλάκια ξέπλεκα

Title: Den to lpiza
Lyrics/Music: Fotis Soukas
Sung by Charis Alexiou
LP: Ta tragoudia tis gis mou (April 1981, Minos)
Track no: 12

Δεν το΄λπιζα η ορφανή
I wasn't expecting this, me the orphan
δεν το΄λπιζα η δόλια
I wasn't expecting this, me the poor
αχ να του΄χα δώσει το φιλί
oh if I had give him that kiss
ορέ τα δυο μου μαύρα μάτια
(even) my two dark eyes
παρά που τον ξενίτεψα
(It would be better) than enforcing him to migrate
ορέ και πάει με τα καράβια
to go where the ships go
καράβια παν΄στη θάλασσα
ships that travel in the sea
ορέ και η κόρη πάει στην άμμο
and (now) the girl heads to the sand
με τα μαλάκια ξέπλεκα
with her hair being unleashed

Thank you very much!
I was wondering about ορέ and πάρα που.
Now I've got other questions which can be answered by you only, because you're probably the only one in the whole wide world who knows what
μ' ένα σώμα μια ψυχή
δίδυμος γκρεμός η ενοχή
and
όσα σου δίνω είναι έναντι
σε κάποια πρέπει μου
μια ζωή να χωράει στη τσέπη μου
mean.

Οι δρόμοι
Στίχοι: Λίνα Νικολακοπούλου
Μουσική: Δημήτρης Παπαδημητρίου
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Χαρούλα Αλεξίου

Εσύ κι εγώ κι οι δρόμοι,
το φως δε λέει συγγνώμη,
τρέμει, χαράζει κι ανασταίνεται,
μάτια που κλαίτε μ' αρρωσταίνετε
ζητώντας τ' όνειρο
μια ζωή παραμύθι κι όνειρο.

Κλειδί που σπάει στη μέση
η λογική μου κι η τρέλα μου
μια μολυβιά στη φανέλα μου
την Κυριακή σαν ξυπνήσω γέλα μου,
-φοβάμαι φως μου-
μ' ένα σώμα μια ψυχή
δίδυμος γκρεμός η ενοχή.

Εμείς οι δυό κι οι φόβοι
ψωμί ζεστό που κόβει
ένας εργάτης κάπου απέναντι
όσα σου δίνω είναι έναντι
σε κάποια πρέπει μου
μια ζωή να χωράει στη τσέπη μου.

Thank you for your kind words BUT....
there's always Nikolakopoulou, Alexiou and Papadimitriou that already know
the answer to those LUNATIC lyrics.....

But I will make a guess (as always )

Let's say that the writer fears that she'll broke up with her beloved.
She seemed that always lived her live and set her affair, in order to
be comprimised with the social "standards".
Now and while living with the fear of seperation
(either this is or ain't a propability!!!!!!), -crazy stuff over here-
she considers her guilts, of not providing more things to her relationship.

And now since I wrote down my prediction,
I wanna make a tiny correction to lyrics that may (or may NOT...)
make things more straight forward.

Instead of δίδυμος γκρεμός η ενοχή
I think it's δίδυμος γκρεμός ή ενοχή

The only one besides Nikolakopoulou herself, I meant.
I don’t consider her lyrics lunatic, just too intellectual for a simple creature like me.
So I guess… uuuh… a body and a soul – a double precipice or guilt? Indeed it seems a bit clearer that way.
How about σε κάποια πρέπει μου? – in exchange of my necessity to have life in my pocket?
