Iro - Etsi einai oi sheseis [That's the way relationships are]

Διαβάζω το σημείωμά σου                                                                    I'm reading your note
στον πάγκο της κουζίνας                                                                        in the kitchen bench
μου γράφεις πως θ' αργήσεις,                                                           it says you might be late,
πως ίσως δε θα 'ρθεις                                                                       that you might not come

Ατέλειωτες ώρες                                                                                               Endless hours
σε καριέρα και δουλειά                                                                        in (your) career and job
σου λέω περνάει η ζωή μας                                                    I'm telling you that our life passes
και πίσω δε γυρνά                                                                              and it doesn't come back

Μου λες πως έτσι είναι οι σχέσεις                            You tell me that's the way relationships are
κι' εγώ σου λέω χωρίς εσένα δε ζω                                     and I tell you I can't live without you
Μου λες να μείνουμε φίλοι                                                    You tell me let's (just) stay friends
μα εγώ για κάτι τέτοιο αδιαφορώ                                       but I don't care about a thing like that
για κάτι τέτοιο αδιαφορώ                                                           for a thing like that I don't care.

Ξεπέρασα τον εαυτό μου,                                                                               I overcame myself,
τα είδα όλα θετικά                                                                 I saw everything in a positive light
μα κάθε μέρα μου γινόταν πιο λίγη                                                but every day became smaller
κι εσύ ακόμα πιο μακριά.                                                                 and you even further away.

Μα πες μου επιτέλους τι ψάχνεις                       Would you finally tell me what you are looking for
μες το χρυσό σου το κλουβί                                                                     inside your golden cage
που όνειρο κι αυταπάτη                                                          that between a dream and delusion
δεν ξεχωρίζεις τι θα πει.                                                                    you cannot distinguish from

Μου λες πως έτσι είναι οι σχέσεις                                You tell me that's the way relationships are
κι' εγώ σου λέω χωρίς εσένα δε ζω                                         and I tell you I can't live without you
Μου λες να μείνουμε φίλοι                                                        You tell me let's (just) stay friends
μα εγώ για κάτι τέτοιο αδιαφορώ                                         but I don't care about a thing like that

Σ' αγκαλιάζω                                                                                                         I'm holding you
και σε σφίγγω δυνατά                                                                          and I'm clasping you firmly
σ' αυτού του κόσμου                                                                                               in this world's
τη βουβή την ερημιά                                                                                            silent wilderness

Ανοίγω πόρτες το πρωί                                                                        I open doors in the morning
κλείνω το μάτι στη ζωή                                                                                             I wink at life
αυτή η αγάπη                                                                                                                 this love
δε θ' αφήσω να χαθεί                                                                          I'm not letting to fade away

Κι ας λες πως έτσι είναι οι σχέσεις                   Even if you say that that's the way relationships are
εγώ θα λέω χωρίς εσένα δε ζω                                           I'm going to say I can't live without you
Κι ας λες να μείνουμε φίλοι                                          And even if you say let's (just) stay friends
εγώ θ' αδιαφορώ...                                                                                       I'm not going to care...
                  

Kraounakis ft Emigre - Kokkina Gialia [Red Glasses]

Πήρα κόκκινα γυαλιά                                                                          I bought a pair of red glasses
κι όλα γύρω σινεμά τα βλέπω                               and I see everything around (me) like in the cinema
κι ούτε ξέρω πως να ζω                                                              and I don't know neither how to live
ούτε και πως ν' αγαπώ                                                                                              nor how to love
τη ζωή μου επιβλέπω                                                                       I am just watching over my life

Πήρα κόκκινο στυλό                                                                                           I bought a red pen
και τραβάω γιαλό-γιαλό και γράφω                           and I'm going seaside to seaside and I'm writing
τραγουδάκια της φωτιάς                                                                                       little songs of fire
της φωτιάς, της πυρκαγιάς                                                                                     of fire, of wildfire
τη ζωή μου αντιγράφω                                                                                      I am copying my life
 
Πως μ' αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος                                                                         I like this sun so much
πως μ' αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος                                                                          I like this sun so much
πως μ' αρέσει το πρωί!                                                                          I like the morning so much!
κι είναι βάσανο ο φίλος                                                                 and it's a torture (when) a friend
είναι βάσανο ο φίλος                                                                   and it's a torture (when) a friend
που φωνάζει εκδρομή!                                                                                yells (let's go for a) trip !

Πως μ' αρέσει το φεγγάρι                                                                            I like the moon so much
πως μ' αρέσει το φεγγάρι                                                                             I like the moon so much
όταν βγαίνει να με δει!                                                                            whenever it rises to see me!
(να με δει μαζί σου)                                                                                         (to see me with you)
και κρατάει το φανάρι*                                                                                    and it holds a lantern
και κρατάει το φανάρι                                                                                    and it holds a lantern
στης αγάπης την πληγή                                                                                           in love's wound

Πήρα κόκκινη καρδιά                                                                                        I bought a red heart
και πουκάμισα φαρδιά φοράω                                                                and I'm wearing loose shirts
και ρωτάω να μου πουν                                                                       and I'm asking for the answer
όσοι ξέρουν ν' αγαπούν                                                             from anyone that knows how to love
σε ποιον έρωτα χρωστάω                                                                    to which love I owe something

Πήρα κόκκινα φτερά                                                                                            I bought red wings
και περνάω μια χαρά, γελάω                                                and I'm having a good time, I'm laughing
Πιάνω σώμα του χιονιού                                                                    I'm touching the body of snow
και ουρά χελιδονιού                                                                                    and the tail of a swallow
στου Θεού τ' αυτί μιλάω                                                                               I'm talking to God's ear
(Σ'αγαπάω)                                                                                                                 (I love you)

Πως μ' αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος                                                                          I like the sun so much
πως μ' αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος                                                                          I like the sun so much
όταν βγαίνει το πρωί!                                                                    whenever it rises in the morning!
κι είναι βάσανο ο φίλος                                                                 and it's a torture (when) a friend
κι είναι βάσανο ο φίλος                                                                  and it's a torture (when) a friend
που φωνάζει εκδρομή!                                                                                  yells (let's go on a) trip!

Πως μ' αρέσει το φεγγάρι                                                                             I like the moon so much
πως μ' αρέσει το φεγγάρι                                                                              I like the moon so much
όταν βγαίνει να μας δει                                                                            whenever it rises to see us
και κρατάει το φανάρι                                                                                   and it's holds a lantern
και κρατάει το φανάρι                                                                                 and it's holding a lantern
στης αγάπης την πληγή.                                                                                          in love's wound.

*κρατάω το φανάρι= Greek idiomatic expression. You use it when you are the only person hanging out with a couple, which may or may not be really intimate with each other but nevertheless makes you feel quite uncomfortable. Literally it means to hold a lantern, metaphorically being the unnecessary third person around a couple.
