Manos Hatzidakis - Χελιδόνι σε κλουβί
Πού το πάνε το παιδί
χελιδόνι σε κλουβί
πού το πάνε το παιδί
και κανείς δεν το 'χει δει.
Πού το παν το παλληκάρι
κάθε νύχτα με φεγγάρι.
Πού το πάνε τι του λένε
και τ' αδέρφια του το κλαίνε. Με κοιτάνε κάθε αυγή
και τα μάτια τους πληγή.Manos Hatzidakis - Χελιδόνι σε κλουβί - http://motolyrics.com/manos-hatzidakis/_a82faa0-lyrics-english-translation.html
Με κοιτάνε κάθε αυγή
και τα λόγια τους κραυγή.
Με κοιτάνε με κοιτάνε
και τα μαύρα τους φοράνε.
κι ένας παραπέρα στέκει
και κρατάει αστροπελέκι. Στης ψυχής μου τον καθρέφτη
ίσκιος άρχισε να πέφτει.
Ίδια η μοίρα που με φέρνει
ίδια η μοίρα που με παίρνει.
