O Anthropos Mou

Θα έρθει μια φορά να νιώσω πως κι εγώ ανήκω κάπου.
There will come a time for me to feel that I too belong somewhere.
Θα έρθει σαν το φως, άνθρωπος καθαρός κι εγώ η σκιά του.
He will come like a God, a pure person and I'll be his shadow.
Θα μου κρατάει σφιχτά, σφιχτά το χέρι
He will hold my hand tight,
και λόγια καθαρά μόνο θα μου φέρει.
And true words he'll only bring me.

Να γνωρίσω έναν άνθρωπο που λέει "ναι" και το εννοεί.
I'll meet a person that says yes and means it.
Να γυρίζω το κεφάλι και να μένει το χαμόγελό του εκεί.
When I turn my head around, his smile will stay put.
Θα'ν' τα λόγια του χρυσάφι, θα 'χει λόγο, θα 'χει μπέσα
Looking him in the eyes, he'll be a man of his word.
Θα χαράζει, θα νυχτώνει και θα πέφτω πάντα μέσα.
The night will grow and it will dawn and I'll always be right.
Μες στα μάτια να τον βλέπω και να μένω ο εαυτός μου,
I will look him in the eyes and I will remain myself,
να το λέω, να το εννοώ πως είναι αυτός ο άνθρωπός μου.
Saying and meaning that he is my person.

Κι αν πέρασα πολλά, μπορώ σε μια στιγμή να τα διαγράψω.
And If I went through a lot, I can erase everything in a moment
Μπορώ να του δοθώ, να του παραδοθώ κι ας ξανακλάψω.
I can give myself to him, surrender, even if I cry again.
Φτάνει για μια φορά αυτός να φέρει, δυο λόγια καθαρά στο άδειο μου το χέρι.
If only just for once, he will bring a few true words in my empty hand.

Να γνωρίσω έναν άνθρωπό που λέει "ναι" και το εννοεί.
I'll meet a person that says yes and means it.
Να γυρίζω το κεφάλι και να μένει το χαμόγελό του εκεί.
When I turn my head around, his smile will stay put.
Θα'ν' τα λόγια του χρυσάφι, θα 'χει λόγο, θα 'χει μπέσα
I'll have a reason to give and I will take from him truthfulness.
Θα χαράζει, θα νυχτώνει και θα πέφτω πάντα μέσα.
The night will grow and it will dawn and I'll always be right.
Μες στα μάτια να τον βλέπω και να μένω ο εαυτός μου.
I will look him in the eyes and I will remain myself,
Να το λέω, να το εννοώ πως είναι αυτός ο άνθρωπός μου.
Saying and meaning that he is my person.

Κι αν πέρασα πολλά, μπορώ σε μια στιγμή να τα διαγράψω...
And if I went through a lot, I can erase everything in a moment.
μπορώ να του δοθώ, να του παραδοθώ κι ας ξανακλάψω...
I want to give myself to him, surrender, even if I cry again... if only,
Αρκεί, να γυρίζω το κεφάλι μου και να μένει το χαμόγελό του εκεί... εκεί... εκεί... εκεί... εκεί... εκεί...
To turn my head around and find his smile still there... there.
