Kostas Hatzis & Marinella

I love you like the mother loves her child,
like the flame loves the torch
like an old man the life that is leaving him,
I love you like the abyss loves the light
like the poor man loves dreams
and the tired soldier, peace

I have nothing more, I am a voice,
I am two empty arms, wrapped around you,
but I love you and look, the skies are opening,
skies that are opened only with great difficulty

I seek for you, like the ground seeks the rain
like the soul seeks laughter
and the wayfarers the deep-shading plane trees
I seek for you like the fire seeks the snow
like the sick one the cure
and the great sin, repentance

I have nothing more, I am a voice,
I am two empty arms, wrapped around you,
but I love you and look, the skies are opening,
skies that are opened only with great difficulty

Δεν έχω τίποτ’ άλλο, είμαι μια φωνή
είμαι δυο χέρια αδειανά που σε τυλίγουν
μα σ’ αγαπώ και κοίτα, ανοίγουν οι ουρανοί
οι ουρανοί που τόσο δύσκολα ανοίγουν.

Your eyes are not big,
so deep and so blue
It is love that makes them
all true
Your words are not important,
simple words, everyday ones
but it is love that makes them
all true

Love suffers all
love hopes for all
gives life to the world
and the earth spins – and the earth spins

You are also a flower of a dawn
Something that ephemerally passes
but it is love that makes them
all true
Your mistakes are great
and each of your mistakes hurts
But it is love that makes them
all true

Love does not know bewailment
beginning and end (she) does not know
the unseen clock keeps ticking
and the earth spins – and the earth spins

Love suffers all
love hopes for all
gives life to the world
and the earth spins – and the earth spins

Η αγάπη όλα τα υπομένει,
η αγάπη όλα τα ελπίζει.
Δίνει ζωή στην οικουμένη
κι η γη γυρίζει – κι η γη γυρίζει.

Μόνο “θα ξανάρθω” να μου τάξεις
όταν το μαντήλι θα χαθεί
Βγες στην κουπαστή ναν το φωνάξεις
σ’ όλο το Αιγαίο ν’ ακουστεί.
