Te vagy az én tévedésem

Mérhetetlen már az út, hisz beutaztam annyi tengert
Hegyekké nőttek a hullámok, s a rossz idő folyton visszafelé kerget
Ám a Te óceánodnak mely halandó is állhatna ellent
Egy perc se telt! Akkor e szerelem, hogyan történhetett
 
Te vagy az én nagy tévedésem, kit annyira megszerettem
Mérhetetlen óceán, és mélység, minek foglyává lettem
És éjszakánként, egy magányos szív haldokol
Mérhetetlen óceán vagy, s a szerelmeim: hajóroncsok
 
Mérhetetlen már az út, hisz beutaztam annyi tengert
s arkangyal a szerelem, talpalatnyi szárazföld

Far, Far Away

Far, far away on the top of the mountain,
Lies the great eagle.
Deep, deep in the heart of the mountain,
Sleeps the giant bear.
 
Every animal has a hiding spot,
Away from winds, fire, humans,
And only I cannot find
a hiding place and some quiet in this world.
 
In my dreams
I see you.
When I wake up, I will
find you, without a doubt,
And find the perfect hiding place in you

One Woman

Again I'll drink, I'll drink death slowly
You're not here, why should I think
I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I hate you
 
One woman, if she goes crazy
and she loses herself to pain
Then you'll be afraid of her
One woman, if she goes crazy
She'll burn you before she gets burned
Like that so you'll remember her
 
You'll be turning round in the streets
and in the nights you'll be hurting
 
One woman, if she goes crazy
and she loses herself to pain
Then you'll be afraid of her
 
Again I'll drink, I'll drink death slowly
I'll swear to deny you
I won't have guilt
Because it's your fault for everything
 
One woman, if she goes crazy
and she loses herself to pain
Then you'll be afraid of her
One woman, if she goes crazy
She'll burn you before she gets burned
Like that so you'll remember her
 
You'll be turning round in the streets
and in the nights you'll be hurting
 
One woman, if she goes crazy
and she loses herself to pain
Then you'll be afraid of her
 
One woman, if she goes crazy
and she loses herself to pain
Then you'll be afraid of her
One woman, if she goes crazy
She'll burn you before she gets burned
Like that so you'll remember her
 
You'll be turning round in the streets
and in the nights you'll be hurting
 
One woman, if she goes crazy
and she loses herself to pain
Then you'll be afraid of her
 

On the void afternoons

Versions: #2
On the void afternoons
when I plummet away from you,
I'll be extending my step of my life on the wave
and be calling for you.
 
And within the night storms
I'll be slipping cross your kisses
and some memories like caresses
or lit up sails will be crossing my mind.
 
And, as the rainstorm keeps us the beat
and my heart tangoes up like it flips.
Me, within some mirrored streets, I'll look for the crooks
for losing all those things that I love. [x2]
 
On these floating memories,
I write all my stars off.
The curtain falling
from the time's eroding I seek to grasp.
 
And any marks that I bear,
I'll cover them with dreams.
Like a old love letter
in a worn off jacket for you I'll seek.
 
And, as the rainstorm keeps us the beat
and my heart tangoes up like it flips.
Me, within some mirrored streets, I'll look for the crooks
for losing all those things that I love. [x2]
 
And, as the rainstorm keeps us the beat
and my heart tangoes up like it flips....

Memetis

My Memeti, my Memeti, aman aman
my sorrow is over you
Where are you always going?
and leaving me behind
 
Where are you going, Memeti and Maria? Aman aman
The violins are jamming and I’m going to see
I’m Memetis, a lover boy, aman aman
A manga*, and a passionate man*
 
I smoke tobacco and hookah, aman aman
I sing the amane with passion
And as I smoke the pipe, aman aman
My romance breaks the baglama
 
I smoke with Maria aman, aman
We ridicule the world
 
* Manga: a manga was a man who partook in the Rembetiko subculture culture
* Meraklis: these were the men who philosophized and shared ideas about the culture and political system at the time
 

You leave and I leave

You dress me often in yellow leaves
and with bitter smiles
You leave me without company or an embrace
in the heavy winter
 
I walk the streets with an umrbrella
so that the sorrows don’t shower me
and on my shoulders is thrown a heavy coat
of sieghs
 
You leave and I leave and as much as I avoid you
I’m in danger of you chasing me
You leave and I leave, I dance alone
I enchant the Gods and you pass ahead of me
 
In the first rains the illusions melt
and the drops put out the fire
and so the wind scatters the ashes
far away, to nowhere
 
You leave and I leave and as much as I avoid you
I’m in danger of you chasing me
You leave and I leave, I dance alone
I enchant the Gods and you pass ahead of me
 

Let the wretched world talk

We hand’t thought it over well, why did we separate, why
Since, how can I say it, you love me, and I love you
Don’t listen to words of the others, you’ve been dealing with bad people
Come back again and don’t be confused a bit
 
Don’t be mad. Come, for i’m waiting
And let the wretched world talk, talk, talk
Your kiss is like honey, kiss me and don’t let it bother you
And let the wretched world talk and say whatever it wants
 
You didn’t come yesterday not even the day before, and my days were terrifying
Because my tears and my bellows didn’t leave me for a second
I can’t bear being separated, and it wouldn’t even be right
Shoot me two sweet glances and forget the bad mouthing
 
Don’t be mad. Come, for i’m waiting
And let the wretched world talk, talk, talk
Your kiss is like honey, kiss me and don’t let it bother you
And let the wretched world talk and say whatever it wants
 

Tonight treat me a drink

Tonight treat me to drink
the alcohol of love
so I get drunk
as many times as you treat me,
don't forget it- I drink
and I won't leave a drop
as many times as you treat me,
don't forget it- I drink
and I won't leave a drop
 
Love's alcohol is the strongest of all
but I'll drink it
and if one night I get drunk
know that I'll remain in your embrace
and if one night I get drunk
know that I'll remain in your embrace
 
Turn your lips into glass
and fill it up so I can sip it
distillation from kisses
I'll drink, in your embrace
my spirit will leave
and so let it be
I'll drink, in your embrace
my spirit will leave
and so let it be
 

It's raining it's raining

Outside my window
It's raining, raining, raining
and I keep waiting for you
to appear from around the corner
 
Rivers are flowing outside
And it's raining, raining,raining
I cry behind my window
the sky cries with me
 
Who knows where she is
really, where could she be
now that I have such need
of her sweet company
 
Summer passed
and a storm separated us
and I have rain in my eyes
and an overcast heart
 
Outside of my window
It's raining, raining raining
I cry for my lost dream
along with the rain
 
Black are the sky's depths
and it keeps raining raining raining
and my sorrowful soul keeps raining with out tears
 

Moonshines at the Cyclades

Versions: #2
White and light blue me and you
The Gods escape to an island
White and light blue, Nakso and Paro
Tonight you will take me to hoist anchor
White and light blue and the love wine
 
Moonshines at the cyclades
With staying awake and boats
With fires at the beach
E, poor love
Two hearts that became one
 
The Gods escape to an island
White and light blue and hand-in-hand
This summer will be a celabration too
White and light blue and love wine
