Haris Alexiou - Eleni
Zoume senan kosmo magiko
me fonto tin Akropoli, to Lykavitto
Gemata ta balkonia, politika aïdonia
Yposchesis ke agapes ke polychrona balonia
ki eftychismena chronia
Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni
I zoi sou, na to xeris, ine epikirygmeni
Na pethenis gia tin Ellada ine allo
ki allo ekini na se petheni
Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni

Zoume senan kosmo magiko
Ypochthonia doulevi me monadiko skopo
Na se basi sto pechnidi, ti zoi sou pos tha ftiaxi
Na sou taxi, na sou taxi tin psychi sou na rimaxi
Ki otan ftasi na elenchi tis elpidas sou ton pono
den tou ftani etouto mono
Me glykologa se perni apto cheri
Se vaftizi tis Elladas nikokyri
Ki eki pou les allaxane ta pragmata ke sikonis to potiri
Arpazi, klevi toniro sou ke tou kani charakiri
Ki esy Eleni...
Haris Alexiou - Helen (English translation)
we live in a magic world
and as background (we have) Akropoli, Lycabetus hill
the baconies are full, political nightingales
promises and loves and balconies with many years
and happy years
and you Helen and every Helen
of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens
on your life, know it,(someone) has put a prize on her head
to die for Greece is another matter
and another if its her who forces you to die
and you Helen and every HelenHaris Alexiou - Eleni - http://motolyrics.com/haris-alexiou/eleni-lyrics-english-translation.html
of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens
we live in a magic world
(it's) working (not in a straigh manner) with an one and only goal
to put you in the game, that it's going to make your life better
to promise you, to promise you to cosume your soul
and when ti arrives to control the pain of your hope
it's not enough for him
with kind words takes you by the hand
baptizes you Greece's family-man
and just right when you say things changed and you rise the glass
takes over, steals your dream and does to it hara-kiri
and you Helen
