lyrics

*(English Translation Follows)*


Σε πολιτείες άλλων και τραγούδια
Έχω βυζάξει στις πληγές και τα λουλούδια
Που μου ‘χουν πάρει στα γενέθλια δυο φίλοι
(Ο ένας αγάπησε πουλί
Ο άλλος εσένα και το κρύβει)

Δεν ζω στις πόλεις που αναπνέει η φωνή μου
Χάνω τον έλενγχο και με μεθάει η ψυχή μου
Με λέω τεμπέλη και ρουφάω τσιγάρα
Γιατί μ’αρνήθηκες εσύ
Κι ο ελληνισμός μου πάει γι’άλλα

This is not
My Language, Or
This
Is a Conspiracy
Of Thought

I Love you
I know that we’re together
Forever and
This is now I go to bed

Δεν έχω μάθει ομπρός να περπατάω
Την μια πασχίζω να σταθώ
Την μια πετάω

Κόψε θεέ μου το κεφάλι μου στην μέση
Να κλάψουν νιότη οι ενωτικοί
Κι ο ελληνισμός να πάρει θέση

Ρίξτε μου πέτρες και φωνάξτε τα παιδιά να’ρθουν
Κι έξω απ’το σπίτι μου ανοίξανε καινούργιο στέκι
Ρίξτε μου αγάπες μου και βάλτε στα παιδιά να πιούν
Να γίνω ένα με τη γη
Κι ο ελληνισμός
Να κάνει κέφι

***

Living inside foreign states and foreign songs
I’ve been sucking on wounds
And flowers that I received
As presents, from two of my friends

(One of them fell in love with a bird
The other one secretly loves you)

I don’t live in cities in which my voice breaths
I lose control
A soul drunk
I call myself lazy, and chain smoke
Because you stopped believing in me
And now
The roots inside me that are Greek
Are moving on

This is not
My Language, Or
This
Is a Conspiracy
Of Thought

I Love you
I know that we’re together
Forever and
This is now I go to bed

I am still unable to move forward
Sometimes I struggle just to stand up
Sometimes I am flying up high

God, come split my head in two, equal pieces
So those who dream of union with Greece cry out the tears of youth
And the idea of what is Greek, appears, and takes a stand

Come, pelt me with rocks and let the cool guys know
That a new spot just opened right outside my house
Pelt me my loved ones, but make sure that the guys have something to drink
So I become one with the ground
And entertain the idea of what is Greek
