Mad about you
Μια χούφτα φως Ιερουσαλήμ στα πόδια μου σκορπάει το φεγγάρι
κοιτάζω τ’ άστρα σαν σκυλί πολύς Θεός μα ούτε ένα χνάρι
πλανήτης σ’ έχει μακρινός λύπη μου τροχιά τ’ Απρίλη
χαμένος είμαι εδώ, χαμένος είμαι εδώ
Κι αν όλα μου τα υπάρχοντα νερό τα καταπιεί
η τρέλα μου είσαι συ η τρέλα μου είσαι συ
Κι απ’ τις σκοτεινές κοιλάδες αρχαίας λύπης μαντινάδες
με κλάμα ανθρώπου ζωντανού έτσι μου `ρχεσαι στο νου
μα πού τα πόδια μου με πανμ’ άστρα κι άμμο μες στο στόμα
πες μου πόσο ακόμα πόσο ακόμα
They say a city in the desert lies
the vanity of an ancient king
but the city lies in broken pieces
where the wind howls and the vultures sing
these are the works of man γύπες παντού πετούν
this is the sun of our ambition
it would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife with every prison blown to dust
my enemies walk free I `m mad about you I `m mad about you
Πιο μόνος μου ποτέ στον κόσμο αυτό δεν ένιωσα
παλάτια κι αν μου χάριζαν το χρυσάφι της γης
χωρίς αγάπη αν ζεις όλα τα τρόπαια είν’ αποτρόπαια θαρρείς
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
and though a million starts were shining
my soul was lost on a distant planet
that whirls around the April moon
whirling in an arc of sadness
Χαμένος είμαι εγώ I `m lost without you
Κι αν μες το χέρι σου κρατάς του ολέθρου το κλειδί
κι αν ξεχυθήκαν μονομιάς της νιότης μου οι εχθροί
κι αν όλα μου τα υπάρχοντα νερό τα καταπιεί
η τρέλα μου είσαι συ η τρέλα μου είσαι συ
A stone's throw from Jerusalem / I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining / My heart was lost on a distant planet
that whirls around the April moon / whirling in a arc of sadness
I am lost without you, I am lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand /and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
From the dark secluded valleys / I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you / Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand /The leavings of a dried-up ocean
Tell me how much longer? How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
the vanity of an ancient king
but the city lies in broken pieces
where the wind howls and the vultures sing
these are the works of man
this is the sun of our ambition
it would make a prison of my life
if you became another's wife / with every prison blown to dust
my enemies walk free / I 'm mad about you
And I have never in my life /felt more alone than I do now
Though I claim dominions / It means nothing to me
There are no victories in all our histories without love
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
and though a million starts were shining
my soul was lost on a distant planet
that whirls around the April moon
whirling in an arc of sadness
I am lost without you
And you hold the keys to ruin / everything I see
With every prison blown to dust / My enemies walk free
When all my kingdoms turn to sand / And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
