some times you've got to go back...

Δρόμοι παλιοί

Αναγνωστάκης Μανώλης


Δρόμοι παλιοί που αγάπησα και μίσησα ατέλειωτα
Κάτω απ’ τους ίσκιους των σπιτιών να περπατώ
Νύχτες των γυρισμών αναπότρεπτες κι η πόλη νεκρή

Την ασήμαντη παρουσία μου βρίσκω σε κάθε γωνιά
Κάμε να σ’ ανταμώσω κάποτε
Φάσμα χαμένο του πόθου μου
Κι εγώ, ξεχασμένος κι ατίθασος να περπατώ
Κρατώντας μια σπίθα τρεμόσβηστη στις υγρές μου παλάμες

Και προχωρούσα μέσα στη νύχτα χωρίς να γνωρίζω κανένα
Κι ούτε κανένας, ούτε κανένας με γνώριζε, με
γνώριζε...

i'm back (almost)

Oi Va Voi

Refugee

You ask me
Why it is I come to you
When someone else is just as good
I asked them but they said the same
Didn't even ask my name

Explain to me
Just what it is you have to lose
Take a minute in my shoes
Don't you feel like you've paid your dues
Already

I'll show you
That all our fates are so entwined
Don't lose your faith in humankind
Just don't forget my state of mind
Is fragile

Together
We can enjoy the taste of dignity
As long as you believe in me
I'll show you my reality
I've seen a few

You ask me
Why it is I come to you
When someone else is just as good
I asked them but they said the same
Didn't even ask my name

There's another refugee
There's another refugee
Oh oh there's another refugee
Oh oh there's another refugee
