Νυχτερινό

Ἕνα φεγγάρι πράσινο, μεγάλο,
ποὺ λάμπει μέσ᾿ τὴ νύχτα -τίποτ᾿ ἄλλο.
Μιὰ φωνὴ γρικιέται μέσ᾿ τὸ σάλο
καὶ ποὺ σὲ λίγο παύει -τίποτ᾿ ἄλλο.
Πέρα μακριά, κάποιο στερνὸ σινιάλο
τοῦ καραβιοῦ ποὺ φεύγει -τίποτ᾿ ἄλλο.
Καὶ μόνον ἓν παράπονο μεγάλο
στὰ βάθη τοῦ μυαλοῦ μου. -Τίποτ᾿ ἄλλο.

Ναπολέων Λαπαθιώτης

Shadow Gallery - Don't Ever Cry Just Remember

I must have stood for hours 
The mist of dawn still rising 
Brushing from my face 
Cold tears of finally knowing 
The world that we had twisted 
The years of strength and glory 
Were wicked and obscene 
And there we stood so proud 
What legends we must be 
Really something to behold Lord 
So irresponsible 
With the powers of creation 
A princess crowned in jewels 
Robed in the finest cloth 
Dauntlessly invincible 
So perfect so unreal 

In one great moment judgements fallen 
Babylon no longer there 
Gone are her streets her giant towers 
Disappeared into thin air 
Don't ever cry just remember 

It must have been my mood 
I'm usually much stronger now 
I know there's just one way 
And this is how it has to be 
There was poison in our thoughts 
And there was hatred in our eyes 
Suddenly something came 
Something made it right 
We purged our hearts and souls 
And we saw through children's eyes 
Not stifled by the pain 
Not blinded by our 
Human nature don't you see at all 
The wisdom of our suffering 
The lies behind our ways 
The reasons for the end 

From the moment I was raptured 
Babylonia disappeared 
I now return here a survivor 
The rest have vanished to thin air 
Don't ever cry just remember 

The wind blows cold tonight 
No lamplights from no windows 
I am sure enough alone 
And I am sure enough alive 
So through eternity 
The gift of light gets passed along 
to those of us who saw 
What the rest could never see 
Born to a fallen world 
Longing for a morning star 
Held on high 
For me 
As this vision comes to close 
The last footsteps ever wonder here 
They echo in my mind 
Never to return 

All is done and slowly fading 
Babylon she once stood there 
I walked her streets I climbed her mountains 
I disappear into thin air 
Don't ever cry just remember

Blank & Jones-fallen

Do you remember me,
I'm just a shadow now.
This is where I used to be,
Right here beside you.
Sometimes I call your name,
...High on a summer breeze.
What I would give,
To feel the sunlight on my face.
What I would give,
To be lost in your embrace.

I've fallen from a distant star,
Came back, compelled because I love.
I'm caught between two different worlds,
I long for one more night on earth.

Do you believe in dreams,
That's how I found you.
But I can't be with you,
Till you take a leap of faith.
What I would give,
To feel the sunlight on my face.
What I would give,
To be lost in your embrace.

I've fallen from a distant star,
Came back, compelled because I love.
I'm caught between two different worlds,
I long for one more nïght on earth

Tom Grant - Fantasy

Θέλω να σου πω μια καληνύχτα ακόμα ...

Ton Steine Scherben

“Το όνομά μου είναι Άνθρωπος”
“Έχω πολλούς πατέρες κι έχω πολλές μητέρες
Κι έχω πολλές αδερφές κι έχω πολλούς αδερφούς Οι αδελφοί μου είναι μαύροι κι οι μητέρες μου κίτρινες
Κι οι πατέρες μου είναι κόκκινοι κι οι αδελφές μου λευκές
Κι είμαι πάνω από δέκα χιλιάδων χρόνων
Και τ’ όνομά μου είναι άνθρωπος
Και ζω απ’ τον αέρα και ζω απ’ το ψωμί
Και ζω απ’ το φως και ζω απ’ την αγάπη
Κι έχω δυο μάτια κι όλα μπορώ να τα δω
Κι έχω δυο αυτιά κι όλα μπορώ να τα καταλάβω.
Κι έχουμε έναν εχθρό, αυτός μας στερεί τη μέρα
Ζει απ’ τη δική μας τη δουλειά
Και ζει απ’ τη δύναμή μας
Κι έχει δυο μάτια και δε θέλει να δει
Κι έχει δυο αφτιά, κι όμως δε θέλει να καταλάβει.
Κι είναι πάνω από δέκα χιλιάδων χρόνων
Κι έχει πολλά ονόματα.
Και ξέρω, θα πολεμήσουμε
Και ξέρω, θα νικήσουμε
Και ξέρω, θα ζήσουμε
Και θ’ αγαπηθούμε
Κι ο πλανήτης Γη
Σ’ όλους μας θ’ ανήκει
Κι ο καθένας θα έχει αυτό που χρειάζεται
Και δε θα πάρει πια δέκα χιλιάδες χρόνια
Γιατί έφτασε η ώρα”.

Foreigner - Say You Will

Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight

I can't sleep, I keep dreaming I'm losing you
I feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes
I'm in too deep, I'm in over my head this time
Can't get you out of my mind, no matter how hard I try

So won't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you won't
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine

I get the feeling, I've never been here before
'Cause no one I've known's ever moved me the way that you do
And I know this is the real thing, it's all I've been searching for
I put it all on the line, now I'm hoping you feel that way too

And if you do, why don't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Now will you
Say you will, you say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you will, say you will
You'll be mine tonight

Will you tell me how much I mean to you?
Will you say you always will be true?
I need more than a "come on" sign
So won't you say you will be mine?

Now won't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you will
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
Come on, come on, say you will
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight

Be mine tonight
Say you will
Be mine tonight yeah
Say you will
Be mine tonight
Say you will, say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight



Steve Perry - She's Mine

I've seen your kind before
I've seen you creepin' around
Before you come 'round my door
Oh there's one thing you gotta know

She's mine, all mine
Don't show your face here no more
She's mine, all mine
Don't hang around here no more

I heard her call out your name
Late last night in her sleep
That's why I came here to say
No, it won't be easy to steal her away

She's mine, all mine
Don't show your face here no more
She's mine, all mine
Don't hang around here no more

You've got her under your spell
And she's believin' your lies
You'd like her at your hotel, oh
No, not as long as I'm alive

She's mine, all mine
Don't show your face here no more
She's mine, all mine
Don't hang around here no more
No more, no more

Oh she's mine
Don't show your face
Here no more, no more, no more
Don't hang around
Don't hang
Don't hang around no more

DREAMTIDE - All Of My Dreams

Do you feel the changes come
Don't you hear the battle drum
And you know you won't be heard
Makes no sense to spread the word

Now let your light shine down on me
Don't you ever set me free

Will all of my dreams be fading away
All of my fears be here one day
Do I have to see the stars falling down
Don't let my dreams be fading away

Did you see - the hawks do fly
Did you hear - the hounds ally
Do we wait another day
Fools believe
In another way

Now let your light shine down on me
Don't you ever set me free

Will all of my dreams be fading away
All of my fears be here one day
Do I have to see the stars falling down
Don't let my dreams
Don't let my dreams be fading away

Now let your light shine down on me
Don't you ever set me free

For all of my dreams they won't fade away
All of my fears may be here one day
But I'll never see the stars falling down
All of my dreams are here to stay

All of my dreams they won't fade away
All of my dreams be true one day
And as sure as the stars never fall down
All of my dreams there still here

ΑΦΗΣΕ ΛΕΥΤΕΡΑ ΤΑ ΧΕΡΙΑ ΜΟΥ

Αφησε λεύτερα τα χέρια μου
και την καρδιά μου, άφησε λεύτερη!
‘Αφησε τα δάχτυλά μου να τρέξουν
στους δρόμους του κορμιού σου.
Το πάθος – αίμα, φωτιά, φιλιά -
με ανάβει με τρεμουλιαστές φλόγες.
Αλλά εσύ δεν ξέρεις τι είναι τούτο!
Είναι η καταιγίδα των αισθήσεών μου
που διπλώνει τον ευαίσθητο δρυμό των νεύρων μου.
Είναι η σάρκα που φωνάζει με τις διάπυρες γλώσσες της!
Είναι η πυρκαγιά!
Και συ είσαι εδώ, γυναίκα σαν άθικτο ξύλο
τώρα που η καμμένη μου ζωή πετάει
προς το γεμάτο με άστρα, σαν τη νύχτα, σώμα σου!
‘Αφησε λεύτερα τα χέρια μου
και την καρδιά μου, άφησε λεύτερη!
Δεν είναι έρωτας, είναι επιθυμία που ξεραίνεται και σβήνει,
είναι καταιγισμός από ορμές,
προσέγγιση του απίθανου,
αλλά υπάρχεις εσύ,
υπάρχεις εσύ για να μου δώσεις τα πάντα,
και για να μου δώσεις αυτό που κατέχεις ήρθες στη γη -
όπως εγώ ήρθα για να σε περιέχω
για να σε επιθυμώ,
για να σε δεχτώ!
Pablo Neruda

Robert Plant-Darkness, Darkness

Darkness, Darkness be my pillow,
Take my hand and let me sleep,
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep. 

Darkness, Darkness hide my yearning,
For the things I can not see,
Keep my mind from constant turning,
To the things I can not be.
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with this endless night,
Take away oh this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light,
Emptiness with light now.

Darkness, Darkness long and lonesome,
As the day that brings me here,
I have found the edge of sadness,
I have the known the depths of fear,
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away oh this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light now,
Emptiness with light now.

Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away oh, this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light now,
Ohh, with light now.

Darkness, Darkness be my pillow,
Take my hand,
And let me sleep,
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep,
In the silence of your deep,
In the oh oh hey yeah oh,
In the summer babe,
Oh yeah oh in the summer baby,
In the summer baby,
oh ooo yeah,
Come on come on come on baby,
Come on come on come on baby,
Come on come on come on baby.

Ελέφαντας και Χελώνα

Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό, τον πολύ παλιό καιρό, όταν στον κόσμο υπήρχε μόνο ημέρα και η νύχτα ήταν άγνωστη, ο Ελέφαντας και η Χελώνα μάλωσαν άσχημα. Αιτία ήταν το πλούσιο γρασίδι ενός λιβαδιού. «Είναι δικό μου!» έλεγε η Χελώνα. «Οχι, είναι δικό μου!» επέμενε ο Ελέφαντας. Κανένας δεν υποχωρούσε, ώσπου, στο τέλος, ο Ελέφαντας θύμωσε πολύ. «Θα σου σπάσω το καύκαλο!» φώναξε και σήκωσε το πόδι του να χτυπήσει τη Χελώνα. Εκείνη, κατατρομαγμένη, έτρεξε να κρυφτεί ανάμεσα στους θάμνους της σαβάνας και κρύφτηκε τόσο καλά, που ο Ελέφαντας δεν κατάφερε να τη βρει. Ομως, την άλλη μέρα, ο Ελέφαντας ζήτησε τη βοήθεια των υπόλοιπων ζώων, κι όλοι μαζί ξεκίνησαν για να την ξετρυπώσουν και να την τιμωρήσουν.

Στο μεταξύ η Χελώνα, που ήταν έξυπνη και ήξερε πολλά μαγικά, βλέποντας ότι δεν μπορούσε να ξεφύγει, άρπαξε τη σκόνη και την πέταξε στον άνεμο. Τότε η νύχτα, που όπως είπαμε ήταν άγνωστη ώς εκείνη τη στιγμή, σκέπασε τη γη...

Τα ζώα, μη βλέποντας πια τον ήλιο, τρομοκρατήθηκαν. «Τι πυκνό σκοτάδι!», έλεγαν το ένα στο άλλο. «Τι έγινε ο ήλιος, πού πήγε η μέρα; Πώς θα ζήσουμε τώρα χωρίς φως;». Ο Ελέφαντας, καταστενοχωρημένος, θέλησε να διορθώσει τα πράγματα. Εστειλε τον Κόκορα να ζητήσει συγγνώμη από τη Χελώνα και να την παρακαλέσει να ξαναφέρει τη μέρα στον κόσμο. Ο Κόκορας ζήτησε από τη Χελώνα να συγχωρήσει τον Ελέφαντα, κι εκείνη δέχτηκε, φέρνοντας και πάλι τον ήλιο στον ουρανό. Ομως από τότε οι μέρες δεν είναι πια πάντα ηλιόλουστες και το φως δίνει τη θέση του στο σκοτάδι κάθε νύχτα.
Από την Μπουρκίνα Φάσο

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone

Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I'm leaving my woman behind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.

And I don't know where I'm going.

I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again,
But I'm leaving my woman at home.


Tuesday's gone with the wind.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.

Train roll on many miles from my home,

See, I'm riding my blues away.
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got to carry on.
