Lyrics and translation Grigoris Bithikotsis - Helidoni Se Klouvi




Helidoni Se Klouvi
Swallow in a Cage
Anixa ston kipo mou pigadhi
I dug a well in my garden
Na potiso ta poulia,
To water the birds,
Na′rhese ke esi proi ke vradhi
To sing to me both morning and evening
San mikri dhrosostalia
Like little nightingales
Irthes mia vradhia me ton ayera
You came one evening with the breeze
Anastenax'i kardhia
My heart leaped up
Sou′pa me lahtara kalispera
I wished you good evening with a smile
Ke mou ipes ehe ya.
And you said yes, yes.
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Dhe se filisa pote mou,
Have I ever wronged you?
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Pos na se xehaso pes mou,
How can I forget you, tell me,
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Dhe se filisa pote mou
Have I ever wronged you
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Mono st'oniro mou se filo
Only in my dreams do I kiss you
Fitepsa stin porta sou hortari
I linger at your door like a gardener
Na'his iskio ke dhrosia,
To become your shadow and your dew,
K′irtha prin allaxi to fengari
To come before the moon changes
Na sou fero zestasia.
To give you warmth.
S′evgala stou iliou t'anifori
I searched for you in the sunrise
Sta sokakia ta platia
In the broad streets
Ma irthe pagonia ke xerovori
But agony and despair came
Ke dhen m′anapses fotia.
And no fire kept me warm.
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Dhe se filisa pote mou,
Have I ever wronged you?
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Pos na se xehaso pes mou,
How can I forget you, tell me,
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Dhe se filisa pote mou
Have I ever wronged you
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Mono st'oniro mou se fïlo
Only in my dreams do I kiss you
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Dhe se filisa pote mou,
Have I ever wronged you?
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Pos na se xehaso pes mou,
How can I forget you, tell me,
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Dhe se filisa pote mou
Have I ever wronged you
Milise mou, milise mou,
Tell me, tell me,
Mono st′oniro mou se fïlo
Only in my dreams do I kiss you
