ΑΠΌΣΠΑΣΜΑ:
ΣΥΜΦΩΝΊΑ ΑΡ.1 (1957)

Κανένας. Ερημιά.
Μονάχα στους τοίχους τον ερη-
μωμένων δρόμων τα σημάδια απ’ τις
παλιές μας σφαίρες, κοιτάζουνε την
πόλη σκοτεινά. Σαν τα πικρα τρομαγ-
μένα μάτια ενός αδελφού που τον
προδώσανε. Στα όπλα…

Στα όπλα.

Εμείς τελειώσαμε. Δεν έχει δά-
κρυα πια. Κλαίνε όσοι στο βάθος
ακόμα ελπίζουν. Ούτε θάνατο. Οι
νικημένοι δεν μπορούν να πεθά-
νουν. Σαν ένα μαχαίρι που ανοίγει
ένα σφηνωμένο φέρετρο, η απελπι-
σία κρατάει τα μάτια τους ανοιχτά.

Στα όπλα...

Κι όμως, θυμήσου, είχαμε κάπο-
τε όνειρα – σημαίες στους δρόμους,
βήματα, ζητωκραυγές τα χέρια μας
σχεδίαζαν στον ορίζοντα τις αυρια-
νές μεγάλες πολιτείες. Και τραγου-
δούσαμε ολοι μαζι κι ελπίζαμε όλοι
μαζί και πέφταμε όλοι μαζί.

Κοιμήσου, δεν ειναι τιποτα.

--- Translation ---

EXCERPT:
AGREEMENT N.1 (1957)

No one. Desolation.
Only on the walls of the crumbling
streets the marks of our old bullets
stare the town with a murky eye. Like
the scared eyes of a betrayed brother.

To arms; to arms.

We are finished. No more tears.
Those who cry are those who still
hope, in the end. No death either. The
defeated cannot die. Like a knife that
opens a jammed coffin, despair keeps
their eyes wide open.

To arms.

Yet remember. We once had
dreams – Flags in the streets, steps,
cheers. Our hands planned on the horizon the great polities of tomorrow.
And we were singing; together.
And we were hoping; together.
And we were falling; together.

LYRICS:

Past stormings of heaven;
A Descendance to Hades
In the fields of ruination;
[we] buried our redemption.

We. tοοκ up arms.
We stοοd like giants.
We. Halted the world.
We. Priced & Sold

about

Yovel Athens, Greece

“The sign is the search itself, the sign is you!

You, hobbling out of the mud of the roads.

It’s you. We who are questing: we are the now, the past and that which is yet to come

The old are stationary [they’ve already been.] Old believers, dead already

The bricks of the Cathedral say nothing”.
