Alone
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

INSOMNIAC
There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
And all the wiles
that I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful.
ΑΓΡΥΠΝΙΑ
Είναι κάποιες νύχτες
που ο ύπνος το παίζει ντροπαλός,
είναι ακατάδεχτος, περιφρονητικός.
Κι ό,τι κι αν σκαρφιστώ
για να κερδίσω τη συντροφιά του,
άχρηστο είναι
σαν πληγωμένος εγωισμός,
κι ο πόνος του είναι πιο οδυνηρός,
[Απόδοση : Gerontakos]

PASSING TIME
Your skin like dawn
Mine like musk
One paints the beginning
of a certain end.
The other, the end of a
sure beginning.
Mine like musk
One paints the beginning
of a certain end.
The other, the end of a
sure beginning.

ΠΕΡΝΩΝΤΑΣ Ο ΧΡΟΝΟΣ
Το δέρμα σου σαν αυγή
Το δικό μου σαν μοσχοκάρυδο.
Το δικό μου σαν μοσχοκάρυδο.
Ο ένας ζωγραφίζει την αρχή
Ενός βέβαιου τέλους.
Ενός βέβαιου τέλους.
Ο άλλος, το τέλος
Μιας σίγουρης αρχής.
Μιας σίγουρης αρχής.
