lyrics

ΑΠΟΣΠΑΣΜΑ: ΑΥΤΟ ΤΌ ΑΣΤΕΡΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΓΙΑ ΟΛΟΥΣ ΜΑΣ (1952)

Αγαπημένη μου.

Σε αγαπώ πιο πολύ απ ότι μπορώ να σου πω με λόγια.
Θα θελα να πεθάνω μαζί σου, αν κάποτε πέθαινες.

Κι όμως, αγαπημένη μου. Δεν μπορούσα πια να σε αγαπώ όπως άλλοτε.
Κλείναμε πίσω μας τη πόρτα και κρυώναμε. κλείναμε τα παράθυρα και κρυώναμε πιο πολύ.
Και καθώς γύριζα να δω τα μάτια σου έβλεπα ταμάτια της γειτόνισσας, που της σκοτώσανε τέσσερα παιδιά
Και καθώς άπλωνα να βρω το χέρι σου, ήταν σαν να κλεβα το ψωμί απ’ τα χέρια των πεινασμένων.

Αγαπημένη μου, ακούς;

Όχι, δεν είναι ο άνεμος, φτάνει από πιο μακριά.
Θα λεγες πως χιλιάδες βήματα κατηφορίζουνε στους δρόμους,
χιλιάδες αρβύλες που βροντάνε τα καρφιά τους πάνω στην άσφαλτο. Που πάνε;
Πως μπορούν και φεύγουν;

Και ύστερα μένουμε εμείς.
Που μένουμε;
Γιατί μένουμε;
Πως θα άνοιγα μια πόρτα όταν δεν θα τανε για να σε συναντήσω.
Πως να διαβώ ένα κατώφλι αφού δεν θα 'ναι για να σε βρω.

Όχι, δεν θα μπορούσα να ζήσω μακριά σου αγαπημένη μου.

Μα απόψε σε όλες τις γωνιές μας περιμένουν οι άνθρωποι.

--- Στίχοι ---

Πάμε!

EXCERPT: THIS STAR IS FOR ALL OF US (1952)

My love.

Beloved, I love you more than I can express in words.
I would love to die with you if you ever died.

And yet. And yet my beloved. I could not love you as I used to.
We would close the door behind us and feel the shiver from the cold. We would close the windows and shiver even more.
And as I was turning to look into your eyes, I would see the eyes of the neighbor whose four children had been killed.
And as I was reaching out for your hand, it was as if I were stealing bread from the hands of the hungry.

Do you hear me, my love?

No, it is not the wind. It comes from way afar.
You would say that thousands of strides are descending down the
streets, thousands of boots rattle their hobnails on the asphalt.
Where are they going?
How can they leave?


And then we stay.
Where do we stay?
Why do we stay?
How I would open a door when I would not meet you.
How to walk past a threshold since I would never find you.

No, I could not have lived away from you, my dear. I could not.

But tonight; the people are waiting for us in all the corners of the world.

--- Lyrics ---

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”.
