Για κάποιο λόγο: song lyrics and translation




Για κάποιο λόγο

 (words by Eleni Giannatsoulia
music by George Sabanis 
first performed by Nikos Oikonomopoulos)
Για κάποιο λόγο
Σε συνάντησα και τώρα σ’ έχω χάσει
Ούτε δάκρυ μου δε σ’ έχει ξεθωριάσει
Σαν μελάνι στο βρεγμένο μου χαρτί
Για κάποιο λόγο
Πιο πολύ βαραίνουν, όσοι μας πονάνε
Ποιον αγάπησες, απ’ όσους σ’ αγαπάνε
Στα βαθιά σου -πες μου- έχεις κοιταχτεί
Με λίγο φόβο;
Ποιος να ξέρει, ποιους μαγεύεις
Ποιες ζωές πατάς
Έτσι που κοιτάς
Για κάποιο λόγο γίναν όλα
Ήταν φαίνεται μοιραίο να μ’ αφήσεις
Σε αγάπησα, για να με τραυματίσεις
Και στη γη να με γκρεμίσεις, ουρανέ
Για κάποιο λόγο γίναν όλα
Κι ίσως κάποτε θελήσεις, να τα βρούμε
Για ένα λόγο, μας συμβαίνουν όσα ζούμε
Και μπορεί και να μη μάθουμε ποτέ
Αυτό το λόγο… για κάποιο λόγο
Για κάποιο λόγο
Τα αινίγματά σου δεν μπορώ να λύσω
Όσα μ’ έδεσαν μαζί σου να διαλύσω
Και να γίνεις μια ανάμνηση θαμπή
Για κάποιο λόγο
Σου τα χάρισα κλεμμένα και δοσμένα
Μάτια, πόρτες μου, παράθυρα κλεισμένα
Κι αν περάσει η ελπίδα δε θα μπει
Της το ξεκόβω

English translation:
For some reason
I met you and now I've lost you
But my tears couldn’t wash you away
Like ink from my sopping paper
For some reason
The weight of those who hurt us is heavier
Than that of those who love us.
Tell me: when you look deep into yourself,
Does it frighten you at least a little?

Who knows whom you are bewitching,
what kind of life you are living...So, what are you looking at?

Everything happened for some reason
It seems, it was the will of fate that you should have left me
I loved you to be hurt by you
And to be ruined on the earth. Oh, Heavens!
Everything happened for some reason
And if you'll ever want we find it
For one reason everything is happening to us in this life
And maybe we’ll never understand
This reason… for some reason

For some reason
I cannot solve your riddle
All the things that bound us together I will dissolve
And you'll be a blur in my memory
For some reason
I gave everything to you: what was stolen, and what was given
Eyes, my doors, my locked windows
And if hope passes it will not come
I'm leaving it

Who knows whom you are bewitching,
what kind of life you are living...So, what are you looking at?

Everything happened for some reason
It seems, it was the will of fate that you should have left me
I loved you to be hurt by you
And to be ruined on the earth. Oh, Heavens!
Everything happened for some reason
And if you'll ever want we find it
For one reason everything is happening to us in this life
And maybe we’ll never understand
This reason… for some reason

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
