I Psihes Ke I Agapes

Tipota sto kosmo den ton noiazei
Para mono to myalo toy anoikto na menei
Mesa stin adraneia tromazei
Xanablepei sti formoli tin psyxi sbismeni
Kobei to kormi toy kai to thabei
Se nero kai se fotia na xoristei

Stoys dekaxi pagomenoys efialtes
Kati aprosopa lampakia tis nyktos daneizei
SA anydroys anerastoys antartes
Stoixeiomenos se mia ethniki odo poy pizei
Briskei tin axtida pA apomenei
Kai mazi tis ti fygi tha moirastei

Oi psyxes kai oi agapes
Siamaies aytapates
Omoies san aspra pliktra
San fotakia mes ti nykta
Briskoyn somata parthena
Sti synitheia poylimena
Me filia ta exagnizoyn
Toys xarizontai

Toytos o arxegonos rythmos ton Afrikanon
Kati apo mpalo Syriano thymizei
Anthropothysia stoys theoys ton ifaisteion
San anaparagogis bomo gyalizei
Kratise agapi moy gia ligo tin pnoi soy
Kleise oli toyti ti stigmi sA ena fili

Koitaxe trigyro ta Meteora pos peftoyn
Mpales apo xioni meine zontani akomi
Krine me san anthropo poy psaxnei tin psyxi toy
Ki ama ton goystareis tha soy po syggnomi
Einai kati mines poy filoxeno ton tromo
Ki exo anagki na me blepeis san moro paidi

Afina toys alloys na miloyn gia mena
Kai fobomoyn mi me dei to fos tis meras
Ta xamena xronia tha ta paro piso

Simadeyei ti matia soy kai afinetai

I Psihes Ke I Agapes

Nothing in the world worries me
Only that my mind remains open
Inside the indifference it trembles
I see my soul extinct in the formaldehyde
And I embalm my body and bury it
In water and in fire to be separated

In the nightmares we are going through
Some faceless lamps lend us the nights
Like unmanly rebels
Being aligned to a national road that is decaying
Finding the ray of light that remains
And you will share your flight with it

The souls and the loves
Siamese deceptions
Similar to white picks
Like lights in the night
They find virgin bodies
Sold in habit
They purify them with kisses
They give them away

This ancestral rhythm of the Africans
Reminds me of something from a Syrian ball
Human sacrifices to the gods of volcanoes
Like a reproductive bomb it shines
Hold your breath for a moment, my love
Close all this moment into a kiss

Look around, see how the Meteora are falling
Snowballs stay alive still
Judge me as a human who seeks his soul
And if you taste it, I will ask for your forgiveness
There are some months that have hosted the fear
And I have to see myself like an idiot child

Oh my satisfied darling
In your mind, you are a stranger
What should you start singing first
And which door should you knock on
To tell you to believe you
In the meantime, to dress you
To show white teeth
In your laughter

A thousand and one nights, the world is open
Chained political stars
Let the others talk about me
And I fear that the light of day will see me
I will take back the lost years
It is enough that sometimes you still say I love you

Red horizon, the years that I have left
Give the signal for my soul to find you
Ports of faces, hold the "goodbye"
Take me in your arms and keep me with you
Home movies, the life that I saw
You are the homeland of my homeless mind

Oh my love, my love
Diamond in the ashes
And an island that has a lighthouse
A drunken seagull
Flying around you
Syllabifying your name
It targets your eyes and is left behind
