-omnia mea mecum fero-

Στα σύννεφαπετάς και περιμένειςΣαν κύμματαμακρυά μακρυά μου φεύγειςΣαν όνειροματιά μεσ’ το σκοτάδιένα όνειροφωτιά κοντά ανάβει

Να μ? αγαπάς, να σταθούμε εδώ σε μια γωνιά
Να κοιταχτούμε λες κι ειν? γιορτή, πρωτοχρονιά
Να με κρατάς αγκαλιά σφιχτά γιατί μου πήρε πολλά το εφτά
εκτός κι αν είπα εγώ το έλα σ’ όλα αυτά

Μακάρι να ?ναι η καρδιά μου ρόδι τυχερό
να στο χαρίσω να στάζει αγάπη ένα σωρό
Στα μαξιλάρια και στο χαλί να ξεχαστώ να μου λες πολύ
Κι ας κάνει ο φόβος κι άλλη τρύπα στο νερό

Να περπατάμε χέρι-χέρι ως το πρωί
Του τραμ οι ράγες κάτι ξέρουν δεν μπορεί
Τα χρόνια φεύγουν, γοργά περνούν και μ? αναμνήσεις μετά γυρνούν
Μικρά τα ονόματα που όλα τα χωρούν

Να μ? αγαπάς με τα λάθη μου όλα στη σειρά
Στο σινεμά στο κορμί μου κόλλα τρυφερά
Δεν ειν? ο κόσμος ιδανικός, για το ταξίδι είναι δανεικός
Για να ?χει όνειρα να κάνει ο ενικός

Να μου μιλάς μεσημέρι, βράδυ και πρωί
Στα ξαφνικά, στο μικρό μπλακ άουτ της Δ.Ε.Η.
Και μέχρι να ?ρθει ξανά το φως, αυτός ο λόγος ο πιο κρυφός
θα δει ν? ανοίγουμε μια πόρτα στη ζωή

Να μ? αγαπάς εαυτέ μου σ? έψαχνα παντού
Κι ενώ ενοχές κι αντοχές μου ?δίναν ραντεβού
απ? τα ακριβά μου στα πιο φθηνά κι απ? τη φωλιά μου στο πουθενά
συναντηθήκαμε στη μέση του καιρού

Να μ? αγαπάς, να σταθούμε εδώ σε μια γωνιά
Να κοιταχτούμε λες κι ειν? γιορτή, πρωτοχρονιά
Να μου μιλάς σιγανά στ? αυτί γιατί ακούνε την νύχτα αυτή
παλιά μου όνειρα που χρόνια είχαν κρυφτεί

Why?
Tell me, why?
You don’t call me anymore
Don’t you want me anymore?

Black
It’s all black
It’s the colour of my heart
It’s the colour of my eyes

But I’m here
Yes I’m here
Everybody seems to mean so much
Everybody seems to think I’m fine

Late
It’s too late
I am punishing myself
By admitting it’s too late

Laugh
You may laugh
You can laugh at me for days
You may spit me if you want

But I’m here
I’m still here
Everybody seems to mean so much
Everybody seems to think I’m fine

Look at me
There were more to see
There were more to be proud of…

Now in vienna theres ten pretty women
Theres a shoulder where death comes to cry
Theres a lobby with nine hundred windows
Theres a tree where the doves go to die
Theres a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the gallery of frost
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where loves never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take its broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath of brandy and death
Dragging its tail in the sea

Theres a concert hall in vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
Theres a bar where the boys have stopped talking
Theyve been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz its been dying for years

Theres an attic where children are playing
Where Ive got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And Ill see what youve chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With its Ill never forget you, you know!

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz …

And Ill dance with you in vienna
Ill be wearing a rivers disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And Ill bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And Ill yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And youll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Its yours now. its all that there is.

accepting all i’ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there’s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til i know i’m home again
Ooh

In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes

Love i get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When i want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way i go
I come back to the place you are

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, i want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat i see in your eyes

In your eyes
In your eyes

Love, i don’t like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, i want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat i see in your eyes

In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Accepting all i’ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there’s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh it’s in your eyes

In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

I want to stand and stare again
Oh, it’s in your eyes.

You could have a steam train
If youd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
Ill be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Youd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
Im going to be-the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Im your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer

Ive kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
Oh wont you show for me
And I will show for you
Show for me, I will show for you
Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
Only you
Youve been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Its what were doing, doing
All day and night

Ούτε μια στιγμή δε μ’ άφησες να παίξωΟύτε μια στιγμή τα χείλια μου να βρέξωΆρχισα κι εγώ να σου γυρναώ τις πλάτεςκαι να συναντώ αγγέλους υπνοβάτεςΆρχισες μετά να στέλνεις ποιηματάκιαΜε τα κινητά ατάκες και στιχάκιαΈλεγε η καρδιά, αν βρεις αγάπη χτύπαΣτο ‘πα μια βραδιά που είχα γίνει σκνίπαΠόσο σ’ αγαπώΔωσ’ μου τα φιλιά που μου κρατάς, εκείναΤα εφηβικά τα γιασεμιά, τα κρίναΠέρασα πολλά για να ‘ρθω ως εσέναΦίλα με δίπλα σού τα ‘χω φυλαγμέναΠόσο σ’ αγαπώΉταν η στιγμή που ήθελα να φύγωΚι ήρθαν κι οι λυγμοί στα μάτια λίγο λίγοΈρωτας μπορεί ν’ αντέξει αυτή τη γύμνιαΠου να συγχωρεί του κόσμου την ασχήμιαΠόσο σ’ αγαπώΔωσ’ μου τα φιλιά που μου κρατάς, εκείναΤα εφηβικά τα γιασεμιά, τα κρίναΠέρασα πολλά για να ‘ρθω ως εσέναΦίλα με δίπλα σού τα ‘χω φυλαγμέναΠόσο σ’ αγαπώ…τα εφηβικά τα γιασεμιά, τα κρίνα…να φτάσω ως εσένα…φίλα με δίπλα σού τα ‘χω φυλαγμέναΠόσο σ’ αγαπώ

Πήρα κόκκινα γυαλιά
κι όλα γύρω σινεμά τα βλέπω
κι ούτε ξέρω πώς να ζω
ούτε και πώς ν’ αγαπώ
τη ζωή μου επιβλέπω

Πήρα κόκκινο στυλό
και τραβάω γιαλό-γιαλό και γράφω
τραγουδάκια της φωτιάς
της φωτιάς, της πυρκαγιάς
τη ζωή μου αντιγράφω

Πώς μ’ αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος
πώς μ’ αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος
πώς μ’ αρέσει το πρωί
κι είναι βάσανο ο φίλος
είναι βάσανο ο φίλος
που φωνάζει εκδρομή

Πώς μ’ αρέσει το φεγγάρι
πώς μ’ αρέσει το φεγγάρι
όταν βγαίνει να με δει
και κρατάει το φανάρι
και κρατάει το φανάρι
στης αγάπης την πληγή

Πήρα κόκκινη καρδιά
και πουκάμισα φαρδιά φοράω
και ρωτάω να μου πουν
όσοι ξέρουν ν’ αγαπούν
σε ποιον έρωτα χρωστάω

Πήρα κόκκινα φτερά
και περνάω μια χαρά, γελάω
Πιάνω σώμα του χιονιού
και ουρά χελιδονιού
στου Θεού τ’ αυτί μιλάω

Πώς μ’ αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος
πώς μ’ αρέσει αυτός ο ήλιος
όταν βγαίνει το πρωί
κι είναι βάσανο ο φίλος
κι είναι βάσανο ο φίλος
που φωνάζει εκδρομή

Πώς μ’ αρέσει το φεγγάρι
πώς μ’ αρέσει το φεγγάρι
όταν βγαίνει να μας δει
και κρατάει το φανάρι
και κρατάει το φανάρι
στης αγάπης την πληγή

Πήρα κόκκινα γυαλιά
κι όλα γύρω σινεμά τα βλέπω
κι ούτε ξέρω πώς να ζω
ούτε και πώς ν’ αγαπώ

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, n how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, n how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before its washed to the sea?
Yes, n how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

Ive been cheated by you since I dont know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I dont know how but I suddenly lose control
Theres a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

Ive been angry and sad about the things that you do
I cant count all the times that Ive told you were through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you wont be away too long
You know that Im not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, its a game we play
Bye bye doesnt mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

Έχω πέσει και κλαίω στο παλιό μου παλτό
που το είχα ξεχάσει στο πατάρι κλειστό
μες στις τσέπες του είχε ψιχουλάκια από σνακ
και στη φόδρα του θέση για τον δρόμο κονιάκ

Πόσες κρύες στιγμές στη καρδιά μου ζεστές
μέσα στο σινεμά και στους δρόμους μετά
μου ‘μαθε τα ταξίδια να αλητεύω εν ψυχρώ
να περνάω καλά και με χάλια καιρό
το παλιό μου παλτό

Κι έσβηνε το τσιγάρο στο υγρό πάνω χώμα
σ’ ένα υπόστεγο κάτσαμε και γίναμε λιώμα
και μια νύχτα τρελή σ’ ένα άδειο βαγόνι
μείναμε ως το πρωί και έξω έριχνε χιόνι

Πώς περάσαν τα χρόνια τι είναι αυτά που φορώ
ποιο σατέν ποιο μετάξι θα με βγάλει χορό
το παλιό μου παλτό το χαρίζω σε ‘σένα
να προσέχεις μικρή μου γιατί μοιάζει σ’ εμένα
γιατί μοιάζει σε ‘μένα

I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in, did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future’s in the air, I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Come on
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change
Walking down the street, distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Come on
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment…
Come on

Love me, love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress, satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
Youre spring to me, all things to me
Dont you know, youre life itself!

Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For were like creatures of the wind, wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
Youre spring to me, all things to me
Dont you know, youre life itself!

Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For were like creatures in the wind, and wild is the wind

Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

Έχω μπροστά μου συνεχώς έναν καθρέφτη
που μ’εμποδίζει ότι είναι πίσω του να δω
δεν έχω δει ποτέ μου πιο μεγάλο ψεύτη
και το χειρότερο,είναι όμοιος εγώ…

Δείχνει πολύ καλός ενώ εγώ δεν είμαι,
δείχνει κακός ενώ δεν είμαι ούτε αυτό
Όσοι μου λένε “φίλε όπως είσαι μείνε”
είναι όσοι χάψαν τον αντικατοπτρισμό

Έναν καθρέφτη συνεχώς έχω μπροστά μου
πάνω του πέφτει και ραγίζεται η καρδιά μου
πάνω του πέφτει και ραγίζεται η καρδιά μου,
ένα καθρέφτη συνεχώς έχω μπροστά μου…

Αντανακλά αυτά που θέλουν οι γυναίκες
κι έτσι τις πείθει ότι είμαι το άλλο τους μισό
μπροστά του γδύνονται του λεν(ε) γλυκές κουβέντες,
πίσω απ’το τζάμι εγώ ολομόναχος κοιτώ

Κάνει παιχνίδι ως και με τα πρότυπά μου
τις θείες φωνές που μου μιλούσανε παιδί
τις φέρνει απέναντι μου και στα κυβικά μου
πάω να τις φτάσω και τσουγκρίζω στο γυαλί

Έναν καθρέφτη συνεχώς έχω μπροστά μου
πάνω του πέφτει και ραγίζεται η καρδιά μου
πάνω του πέφτει και ραγίζεται η καρδιά μου,
ένα καθρέφτη συνεχώς έχω μπροστά μου…

Ξέρω πως όλοι πια πιστεύουν σε καθρέφτες
σε οθόνες σε φωτοτυπίες και προβολείς
μέχρι παιχνίδια έχουν βγάλει που οι παίκτες
ζουν σε μια γυάλα και τους βλέπουμε όλοι εμείς

Μα εγώ θα κάνω τον καθρέφτη μου κομμάτια
ξέρω ότι αυτό που κρύβει πίσω του είσαι εσύ
εσύ που ψάχνεις μεσ’ τα μαύρα σου τα μάτια
να καθρεφτίζεις μόνο εμένα στην ζωή

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
cause I know I dont belong here in heaven…

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
Ill find my way through night and day
cause I know I just cant stay here in heaven…

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please…begging please

Beyond the door theres peace Im sure
And I know therell be no more tears in heaven…

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
cause I know I dont belong here in heaven…

Αργεντινή 1992

Mama, take this badge off of me
I cant use it anymore.
Its gettin dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like Im knockin on heavens door.

Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I cant shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin down
I feel like Im knockin on heavens door.

Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door
Knock, knock, knockin on heavens door

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
Weve been cast out of? oh oh oh oh
Now were back in the fight
Were back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what theyve done to you
But Ill die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
Theyll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now were back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang
