I once met love.
He made me laugh every day.
He couldn't bare  away from me.
He wanted to offer me the stars.
And he did...
holding me tight
every night,
on the warm sand of summer
under the night sky
with a million stars above
and the moon up there, like a guardian
and sometimes a bottle of wine.
Sweet words. Gentle touch. Passionate love.
Just a summer ago.
And after that
there's been only silence.
Silence still. Frozen feelings. Frozen soul.
I'm just frozen in silence.
Because my heart is mourning...
for I once met love.
Δεν σου άξιζαν τα χάδια μου, τα γέλια, τα φιλιά μου.
Δεν σου άξιζε η φροντίδα μου κι η απαλή καρδιά μου.
Η ευγένεια και το ήθος μου
άγνωστα για 'σένανε
κι εσύ όλος ανάξιος ήσουνα για 'μένανε.

Τα ποιήματα, τις λέξεις μου
σπατάλησα για μιαν ελπίδα.
Γιατί είμαι μια γλυκιά ψυχή
με τα όνειρα για πυξίδα.
It feels nice, oh so nice
They understand!
They are writers, poets and dreamers too. They are romantics, like me.
"Never stop dreaming wild", they said.
That's all I needed to hear.
People don't understand. Even the closest ones. Its's a fire burning inside. My wild dreams. They don't understand. They discourage me. They say I can't. "How will you...?", "It's too late now", "Find something else to do".
But one word I hear; Fear.
Now, I know. They're just afraid of them. Of my endless dreams.
"The wild scares those who have only loved the tamed", he said, and pushed my sadness away.
The colours flooded back to my body.
I'm not grey anymore.
My colourful soul can now fly high! up above the sky!
What a relief!
My flame was guttering. I was afraid it would be gone forever.
But I forgot. I was born with this spark that will always keep my fire lighted. That will never allow my colours to fade away for good.
This spark is my searching for anything that will shine my wooden cabinet, where I keep all the magical creations of my mind.
You could really see them only if you had magical eyes like ours or if you'd allow us to give you a pair of those colourful glasses.
I speak for wizardry and you think I'm just a dreamer.
But it is nothing more than the ability to see the endless horizon of the things you are capable of.
It's just that.
So, when you are not dreaming, remember... it's your fears.
But I am not afraid. I'm free.
So, don't try to take the wind out of my sails.
You just hurt me and slow me down.
I forgive you.
You've never seen these colours. Such an assortment, such a brightness, such a depth, what a creativity!
All together in a perfect harmony.
I understand.
I understand and I forgive you.
But "what a pity", I muse.
What a shame that someone never gets to know the abilities of their one body.
But how could  they know? They don't even try.
And how could thy try, when they don't dream?
The power of the inducement.
You now know what I mean.
I try to find another word
to describe loneliness;
so I make it weigh lighter
and give a rest to my shoulders.
It's heavy this word,
heavier than I thought.
I feel the gravity shallow my soul,
my smile, my strength, my whole.
But something's pink inside my blue
it's my dreams that coming true,
the appreciation of what I got
although I've no one to see that.
So, like the sunset,
- pink and blue -
I'm going down
and let the moon
rise up high
in the dark
to light the way
and find my path.
I know that nightfall
brings the dawn,
so I'll wait patiently
inside the black
until this path
bring me my sun.
Καθώς αγέλαστη έμεινα για πολύ καιρό
ξαφνιάστηκα
σαν τον εαυτό μου έπιασα
γλυκά, γαλήνια να χαμογελώ,
να μαλακώνει η έκφρασή μου
σαν ήρθα πάλι στο χωριό
κι απ΄το παράθυρό μου ατένιζα
- όπως πάντα συνήθιζα -
τον απέραντο ουρανό
Μα πόσο καιρό είχα να τον δω..!
που χρώματα αλλάζει
από λεπτό σε λεπτό
να μην βαριέσαι να θωρείς
της γης αυτής τα κάλλη,
σε ό,τι παλέτα επιθυμείς
κορνίζα θα στα κάνει
τα πράσινα λιβάδια,
τα δέντρα, τα πουλιά,
τα χαμηλά, γλυκά βουνά
στρογγυλεμένα, πρασινισμένα, ταπεινά
να ζωγραφίζουν τον ορίζοντα στο δειλινό.
Παρατηρείς εδώ κι εκεί
τα ζουζουνάκια στην αυλή
που μες στην ηρεμία
δίνουνε ζωή!

Αγαπημένη Φύση, αγνή
έλα μες στην καρδιά μου
γίνε ο πυλώνας που με βαστεί
να αντέξω τα βάσανά μου,
γίνε ο φάρος του φωτός
μεσα στην σκοτεινιά μου,
η αφορμή για να γελώ
μέσα στη μοναξιά μου.

Και πριν εστείλεις τα πουλιά
να μου κρατήσουν συντροφιά
πες τους να πάνε μια ολιά
στης Κρήτης κάτω τα μέρη
μπας κι έβρουνε τον ήλιο μου
και το λαμπρό μου αστέρι
που στον δρόμο εκεί του φυγεμού
σκαλώσανε στην συρματιά
κι εχάθηκαν στ' αγέρι.
Και από τότε δεν μπορώ
άσπρη μέρα να ειδώ,
υπάρχει πάντα ένα κενό -
μέρα χωρίς τον ήλιο της
νύχτα δίχως φεγγάρι
κι ούτε ένα άστρο για ευχή
το γέλιο μου να ξαναρθεί.

Αγαπημένη Φύση, αγνή
έλα μες στην καρδιά μου
το χέρι κράτα μου σφιχτά
χάιδεψε τα μαλλιά μου
"Όλα θα πάνε κατ' ευχήν",
μου είπαν τα δάκρυά μου.
It's the excitement in the eyes
and the will there is in heart
in my face draw a smile
and a fist shapes my hand

There are dreams my mind is making
while my body feels a rush
and the goal my eyes is shaping
I can't wait, let me start!
Never stop dreaming
I will sleep in your arms tonight
as I used to do just some time ago.
I will sleep in your arms tonight
just by closing my eyes
driving my dream in those happy days.
I can still feel your warmth, your smile,
the excitement in your eyes..
I'm still staring at the stars
as I used to do along with you
every single night.
I didn't stop thinking of you
cause those stars remind me of you.

...
Let me sleep now.
Let me dream myself in your arms for one more lonely night.
