Lyrics

Constantine P. Cavafy - Oso boris

Κι αν δεν μπορείς να κάμεις την ζωή σου όπως την θέλεις,
τούτο προσπάθησε τουλάχιστον
όσο μπορείς: μην την εξευτελίζεις
μες στην πολλή συνάφεια του κόσμου,
μες στες πολλές κινήσεις κι ομιλίες. Μην την εξευτελίζεις πιαίνοντάς την,
γυρίζοντας συχνά κ' εκθέτοντάς την,Constantine P. Cavafy - Oso boris - http://motolyrics.com/constantine-p-cavafy/oso-boris-lyrics-english-translation.html
στων σχέσεων και των συναναστροφών
την καθημερινήν ανοησία,
ως που να γίνει σα μιά ξένη φορτική.

English translation

Constantine P. Cavafy - As much as you can (English translation)

Even if you cannot live your life as you wanted to,
at least try this
as much as you can; do not humiliate it
into the affinity of the world
into the gestures and the conversations.

Do not humiliate it by bringing it,Constantine P. Cavafy - Oso boris - http://motolyrics.com/constantine-p-cavafy/oso-boris-lyrics-english-translation.html
by hanging around and exposing it,
to the daily stupity
of the realtions and the interactions,
til it becomes a strange and obtrusive one.
