Μην απελπίζεσαι και δε θ’ αργήσει
κοντά σου θα `ρθει μια χαραυγή
καινούργια αγάπη να σου ζητήσει
κάνε λιγάκι υπομονή
Διώξε τα σύννεφα απ’ την καρδιά σου
και μες στο κλάμα μην ξαγρυπνάς
τι κι αν δε βρίσκεται στην αγκαλιά σου
θα `ρθει μια μέρα μην το ξεχνάς
Γλυκοχαράματα θα σε ξυπνήσει
και ο έρωτας σας θ’ αναστηθεί
καινούργια αγάπη θα ξαν’ αρχίσει
κάνε λιγάκι υπομονή

Don't fall in despair for he won't be late
at the crack of dawn he'll come by you
to beg from you a new love's beginning
be just a bit patient
Push the cloudy darkness away from your heart
and dont lose your sleep sobbing all night
what if he is not in your cuddly arms as yet
he'll come one day, don't you forget that
Some sweet daybreak he'll awake you
and your love for each other will resurrect
a new love will bloom again
be just a bit patient
| | | | Translating these lyrics, is a humbling exercise in poetic futility: the sheer strength of each well chosen word, the utter simplicity of the expression, the raw lyricism, the boiling emotion, the brutally honest allegory of this masterpiece by Vasilis Tsitsanis, written in the stormy year of 1948, is absolutely breath taking: far beyond being merely a wonderfully soothing song, it expressed the desperate cry of the Greek people in the middle of the civil war, their unending drama...world war II, triple occupation by the axis powers, famine, partisan wars and nazi reprisals, executions, followed after 1944 by a destructive civil war...the young men fighting on the mountains, the girls wasting their youth away waiting for them to return...all they wanted by then was some dim glimmer of hope, some ray of light, in the brutal darkness that was the dramatic 1940's for Greece...things would at some point get better...if they could only be a little bit patient! |  Mιλτος Mπ. © 01-11-2005 @ 01:22 |
