Dust in the Wind - Kansas







Dust in the Wind - Kansas



I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.



Who Will Take My Dreams Away





I can't give you all my dreams
Nor the life I live.
You and I know what friendship means,
That's all we got to give.

Who will take your dreams away
Takes your soul another day.
What can never be lost is gone,
It's stolen in a way.

Please, don't stand too close to me,
Can you hear my heart ?
Take my warmth and lean on me
When we're not apart.

Now our mission is complete
And our friends are here. (?)
Evil things brought down by the light,
Life goes on until the end.


Marianne Faithfull - Who Will Take My Dreams Away


Try me..


Ruby Winters  " Try me "


If you really wanna know if I can stand your brand of
love,
Try me.
Why don’t you try me?
If you wanna know if I’m affected by the moon above,
Then try me.
Come on and try me.
Don’t you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I’m thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don’t you know my soul’s on fire,
And I need your lovin’ so much.

If you really wanna know if I am longing for your kiss,
Then try me.
Why won’t you try me.
If you think that I’ll get weak in a cozy spot like
this,
Please try me.
I beg you, try me.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/esther-phillips-lyrics/try-me-lyrics.html]
If you’re wondrin’ ‘bout the magic in stars and soft
caresses
There’s only one way to know if it’s right:
Just take me in your arms, baby, and try, try me
tonight.


Don’t you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I’m thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don’t you know my soul’s on fire,
And I need your lovin’ so much.
Just take me your arms and try me tonight
I want you to take me in your arms, and come on, and
try me tonight
I beg you, try me, try me, try me, try me tonight.

A song for you..









I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With 10,000 people watching

But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?

'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love with holding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cuz my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together

We were alone
And I was singing this song to you

We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song
Singing this song to you

Donny Hathaway - A Song For You


Απόψε θέλω να μεθύσω





Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Γιάννης Χαρούλης






Απόψε θέλω να μεθύσω
Το πιο πικρό να πιω κρασί...
Τον κόσμο πίσω μου ν' αφήσω,
Που τον αφήσαμε μαζί...

Κρασί πικρό από σταφύλι,
κι απ' τη δική σου τη μιλιά...
Να 'χει της κόλασης τα χείλη,
Κι όλα σου να 'χει τα φιλιά...

Να 'χει παράξενο τραγούδι,
Να 'χει παράδεισο και γη...
Απ' το κορμί σου να 'χει χνούδι,
Και τη δική μου την οργή...

Ν' αφήνει μαύρο κατακάθι,
Ν' αφήνει πόνο και χολή...
Πικρό πολύ όσο τα λάθη,
κι όσο σ' αγάπησα πολύ...

Απόψε θέλω να μεθύσω,
και να μη σκέφτομαι γιατί...
Να κοιμηθώ και να ξυπνήσω,
και να 'ναι γύρω μου γιορτή...







I' m a Woman









Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Everything, everything
Everything gone be alright
Oh, yeah
When I was a little girl,
only twelve years old
I couldn't do nothing to save my dog gone soul
My mama told me the day I was grown
She says, "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"

I'm a woman, oh, yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, I can change old to new

Spell W O M A N, oh, yeah

That means I'm grown
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker

I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I know my stuff
I'm a woman, I ain't never had enough

I'm goin' down yonder, behind the sun
Gonna do some for you, ain't never been done
I'ma hold back the lightning, with the palm of my hand
Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand

I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker

θέλω να σε δω ..



 Στίχοι: Λίνα Νικολακοπούλου
Μουσική: Δημήτρης Παπαδημητρίου
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη

Θέλω να σε δω
να μ' αναζητάς
σε κάθε οδό και δω
στα λίγα που ζητάς

Θέλω να σε δω
μ' έρωτα βαρύ
να μην μπορεί κανείς
να διώξει αυτόν το θάνατο

Καμιά φορά
φοράω τα λόγια μιας πληγής
καμιά φορά ξεχνιέμαι αλλιώς
κι απ' όλους κρύβομαι

Τη χαρά μου λες να μη στην κάνω συμφορά
και δε χωράει η ζωή
να μπει στο γλέντι ούτε μια φορά

Θέλω να σε δω
να μ'εκδικηθείς
να πιω νερό κρυφά
εκεί που θα πλυθείς

Θέλω να σε δω
να 'μαστε αγκαλιά
και μία θηλιά γερή
το χθες να κάνει αθάνατο

Φτερά του ανέμου ..





Χρήστος Στιβακτάκης
 από το CD «από χρυσάφι και φωτιά»  







Αχι να μπο..
να μπόρουνε φτερά
Να κάμω να ..
Να κάμω να πετάξω
Κι όπου γυρέ
γυρέψει η πεθυμιά
Κι ο πόθος μου να φτάξω

Μέσα στα βα
Στα βάθη τα ουρανού
Σ όλης  της γης
Σ όλης της γης τα πλάτη
Να μην αφη
Να μην αφήσω
δρόμο και μονοπάτι

Να ξεπερνώ τα σύνορα
Του χρόνου και να μπαίνω 
Σ άλλους καιρούς και μυστικά
Του κόσμου να μαθαίνω

Να διαγουμί..
διαγουμίσω το ντουνιά
τόπο να μη..  τόπο να μην αφήσω
και στην ψηλό..  ψηλότερη κορφή
τση γνώσης να..
τση γνώσης να πατήσω

να ιδώ τον κόσμο απ αγκινιου
να ξαναζήσω πάλι 
τση πλάσης το θεμέλιωμα
τη γέννα τη μεγάλη

φτερά του ανέ..
του ανέμου πάρτε με
τον κόσμο να ..
τον κόσμο να γυρίσω   
και την ψυχή..
την ψυχή μου λαχταρώ
να βρω να την. . να βρω να την γνωρίσω


AFTER YOU GET RID OF ME..







KATIE WEBSTER - AFTER YOU GET RID OF ME


after you get rid of me
- who will the next  fool be
i know i know
there is things he 'd like to know
about the girl i love so

'cause after all is said and done
you wont be satisfied with anyone
so after you get rid of me
who will next fool be

will he believe all those lies
end up like me with tears in his eyes
i know
and i 'd like to be the one to tell that other woman so

cause after all is said and done
you wont be satisfied with anyone
so after you get rid of me
who will next fool be

lord, after you get rid of me
who will the next fool be ..

When a Blind Man Cries - Deep Purple





If youre leaving close the door.
I m not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I m lying on the floor.
Whether I m drunk or dead I really aint too sure.
I m a blind man, I m a blind man and my world is pale.
When a blind man cries, lord, you know there aint no sadder tale.

Had a friend once in a room,
Had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do.

I m a blind man, I m a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries, lord, you know he feels it from his soul

Πικραμένος Αναχωρητής- Νικηφόρος Βρεττάκος




Ποίηση : Νικηφόφος Βρεττάκος
Μελοποίηση: Π. Κωνσταντακόπουλος
Ερμηνεία : Β. Σκουλάς
(απαγγέλλει  ο Νικ.Βρεττάκος)


Θα φύγω σε ψηλό βουνό, σε ριζιμιό λιθάρι
να στήσω το κρεβάτι μου κοντά στη νερομάνα
του κόσμου που βροντοχτυπούν οι χοντρές φλέβες του ήλιου,
ν' απλώσω εκεί την πίκρα μου, να λιώσει όπως το χιόνι.
Μήν πιάνεσαι απ' τους ώμους μου και με στριφογυρίζεις
άνεμε!
φεγγαράκι μου!
Καλέ μου!
Αυγερινέ μου!
Φέξε το ποροφάραγκο! Βοήθα ν' ανηφορήσω
Φέρνω ζαλιά στις πλάτες μου τα χέρια των νεκρών
Στη μια μεριά έχω τα όνειρα, στην άλλη τις ελπίδες!
Κι ανάμεσα στις δυο ζαλιές το ματωμένο στέφανο
Μη με ρωτάς καλέ μου αϊτέ, μη με ξετάζεις ήλιε μου
Ρίχτε στο δρόμο συννεφιά να μη γυρίσω πίσω
Κοιτάχτηκα μες στο νερό, έκατσα και λογάριασα,
ζύγιασα το καλό και το κακό του κόσμου.
Κι αποφάσισα, να γίνω το μικρότερο αδερφάκι των πουλιών


Love Is Losing Game (Amy Winehouse)





For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

That's why I'm crying









I walk the streets at night
With you on my mind
All I do
Is run around crying

And Oh baby
Baby, what is wrong
Someone told me
You ought to get your baby back home
stop Crying
Yeah yeah
I'm crying

You have someone new
But I’m still in love with you
That’s why I’m crying
I'm cryin'

I went to some of the places
Where we used to go
Your friends all told me
You don’t come around no mo

I looked over yonder
And guess who I see
I saw that same woman
That taken you away from me
That’s why I’m crying
Yeah yeah
I'm crying

You have someone new
But I’m still in love with you
That’s why I’m crying
I'm cryin'


Oh baby, what is on your mind
let me tell you darlin
I've got to stop crying
and woah baby you know it's true
I let you get me wonderin
am I still in love with you

That's why I'm crying
yeah yeah
I'm crying

You have someone new
but I'm still in love with you
that's why I'm crying I'm cryin
cryin, cryin, cryin,
early in the morning,
cryin, cryin

The first time ever I saw your Face..

Ewan MacColl



The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth

And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command
And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love
The first time ever I saw your face,

our face
Your face,
your face..




Το πρόσωπό σου όταν πρωταντίκρυσα
τον ήλιο είδα ν' ανατέλλει μες στα μάτια σου
Και το φεγγάρι μου 'φερε μαζί κι όλα τα αστέρια
στον σκοτεινό και άδειο μου ουρανό, αγάπη μου

Το στόμα σου όταν πρωτοφίλησα
τη γη ένιωσα να σείεται μέσα στα χέρια μου
σαν το μικρό πουλάκι που η καρδιά του έτρεμε
κι ήρθε μόλις το κάλεσα, αγάπη μου

Όταν για πρώτη φορά δίπλα σου ξάπλωσα
τόσο κοντά ένιωσα στην καρδιά μου τη δική σου
κι ήξερα πως η χαρά μας θα πλημμυρίσει ολάκερη τη γη
κι ως τη συντέλεια του αιώνα θα διαρκέσει, αγάπη μου

Το πρόσωπό σου όταν πρωταντίκρυσα
Το πρόσωπό σου, το πρόσωπό σου, το πρόσωπό σου

Σε μετάφραση Σοφίας Γεωργαλίδη
