I’ll Be Here - “Θα είμαι εδώ” (Lyrics translation)



Music : Georgos Sabanis
Words: Eleni Giannatsoulia

Nikos Economopoulos - Νίκος Οικονομόπουλος
Θα είμαι εδώ 2011 EMI (Greece)

Everything good once should come to the end … I knew that
But this end, I thought, would come much …. later
Midnight, 12 o’clock, you switched off the lights and all the miracles
You said "I don't even care for Nikos" and you left
But you should know that I love you
And I will live where you left me.

Chorus:
I'll be here, always here, I will live, imagine
For a turn of your key one night
I'll be here for you to come and save me
And I'll be here to let you betray me
Once again…


I was showing you the stars, but your mind was … running
Your lifeless hands were caressing me and it was …raining
“This is the lifelong love” – we were … thinking
We say "goodbye" and the beginning we don’t … remember
But you should know: I love you, and I will live where you left me.


Original:
Ολα τα ωραια καποτε τελειωνουν..το ξερα..
μα αυτο το τελος το ΄χα για πολυ.. αργοτερα..
δωδεκα η ωρα, θαυματα και φωτα εκλεισες..
ειπες για τον Νικο ουτε μου με νοιαζει..κι εφυγες..
μα να ξερεις σ' αγαπω, κι οπου μ' αφησες θα ζω..


Θα 'μαι εδω, παντα εδω,θα ζω φαντασου..
Για μια στροφη απ' τα κλειδια σου,μια βραδια..
Θα 'μαι εδω μηπως και 'ρθεις,και με γλιτωσεις..
και θα 'μαι εδω για να μπορεις να με προδωσεις
αλλη μια φορα..


Σου δειχνα τ' αστερια το μυαλο σου καπου..ετρεχε..
αψυχα τα χερια μεσα μου και εξω..εβρεχε..
ετσι ειναι οι αγαπες θα 'ναι μια ζωη..νομιζουνε..
κι οταν πουν αντιο την αρχη τους..δεν γνωριζουνε..
μα να ξερεις σ' αγαπω, κι οπου μ' αφησες θα ζω..

Many thanks to Eirini Eusebi for her help!!!!

Οδός Μοναξιάς - English translation

  Οδός Μοναξιάς ~ Loneliness Street Music: George Sabanis Lyrics: Eleni Giannatsoulia First performance/digital single by  Nikos Oikonomopoulos The day turns to night And Monday is gone The weather is as gloomy As feelings in my heart You cast your longlines Into  the deep darkness Your light is infinite But I am not in it I close my eyes But sleep is shattered My woe has brought me  To your street Your silence Is called treason It throws me again Into a whirl of anger. Оn the Loneliness Street in the early hours On the broken roadside bench I engrave again two our names And I think I live, but I don't breathe.   On the Loneliness Street at dawn I need to learn how not to wait You forgot us, our wonders  and me On the lonely street at dawn... People pass by Back and forth But there are no steps  Which sound like yours   Someone is running nearby She has your perfume But it's  just an illusion You are nowhere seen I close my eyes But sleep is shattered My woe has brought me  To

Nikos Oikonomopoulos’ First Australian Tour is a Triumph

Image
Everything that transpired during Nikos Oikonomopoulos’ maiden tour turned out like a miracle:   here was a young singer who arrived at the green continent for the first time in his life, coming as a major artist and not as an addition to a more mature, established star.    Adding to the intrigue was the fact that this Greek singing sensation was not widely known in the Australian Greek community.  Many people were asking when they saw the publicity promoting his coming performances – “Who is this guy?”                                           However, two large venues at Sydney (Enmore Theatre, November, 2, 2012) and Melbourne (Westgate Complex, November, 5, 2012) were completely sold out:  the front table tickets, which were quite expensive ($300 for one sit) were all gone a month before the tour. But the major miracles occurred at the concerts:  Nikos stunned his audiences with the beauty of his voice, his performance skills and his irresistible natural charism
