Ksiméroman
(Daybreak)
From Paphos Gate to Orfeas*
You play it cool and somewhat vain
And from Ochi to the Saray*
I’m mustering up the courage to talk to you
Onasagorou, Faneromeni*
Hipsters, anarchists, unhinged ones
‘Sit and have a drink with us’, they tell me
But my mind is elsewhere
I neither want to drink, nor to rest
Just kiss me, so that I can quench my thirst
Evening, it’s getting dark, who can feel what I feel
Look into my eyes, so that the day breaks
In the courtyards, on the roofs
My old friends, new faces
Some saw you, told you something
You then vanished into a black hole
Chrysaliniotissa, Arabahmet*
You show up in my coffee like kismet
‘Come inside’, some tell me
But my mind is elsewhere
On the bastion, along the walls
That’s where fate brings us together
‘Come close to me’, you tell me, laughing
And that’s when I completely lose my mind
I want to kiss you, to be satiated with you
And then to forget you again
Evening, it’s getting dark, let us embrace
And only be apart once the day breaks

Ξημέρωμαν
Που Πύλην Πάφου ως τον Ορφέα
Παίζεις το κκουλ τζ̆αι κάπως μοιραία
Τζ̆αι που το ΟΧΙ ως το Σεράγιον
Να σου μιλήσω ψάχνω κουράγιον
Ονασαγόρου, Φανερωμένη
Χίπστερ, ανάρχες, σαλταρισμένοι
«Κάτσε να πιούμεν κάτι», λαλούν μου
Μα ’γιώνι έχω αλλού τον νουν μου
Να πιω δεν θέλω, ούτε να πνάσω
Φίλα με μόνον, να ξεδιψάσω
Δείλις, νυχτώννει, ποιος να με νώσει
Δε με στα μμάθκια να ξημερώσει
Μες τες αυλάες, πά’ στες ταρράτσες
Παλιοί μου φίλοι, τζ̆αινούρκες φάτσες
Κάποιοι σε είδαν, κάτι σου είπαν
Ύστερα ’χάθης σε μαύρην τρύπαν
Χρυσαλινιώτισσ’, Αραπαχμέττη
Μες τον καφέν μου φκαίννεις κκισμέττιν
«Κόπιασε έσσω», κάποιοι λαλούν μου
Εγιώνι έχω αλλού τον νουν μου
Στον προμαχώναν, πάνω στα τείχη
Τζ̆αμαί μας φέρνει μαζίν η τύχη
«Έλα κοντά μου», λαλείς με γέλια
Τζ̆αι τότε χάννω τον νουν μου τέλει̮α
Να σε φιλήσω, να σε χορτάσω
Τζ̆’ ύστερα πάλε να σε ξηχάσω
Δείλις, νυχτώννει, ν’ αγκαλιαστούμεν
Που ’ννα χαράξει να χωριστούμεν

Better stop dancing & listen. Even if you are neither politician nor investor, be sure they’ve turned your vices into a song too. The threesome troop operates with sound & word. To cast all weapon down the abyss, it required apt orchestration of forces, robust morale, clear strategy, thorough preparation, awareness of strength, a shepherd-poet’s admonition & alliance with like-minded musicians.
