Dimitra Galani sings her own songs / Δήμητρα Γαλάνη λέει δικά της

If one moment
can change everything
with a glance, with a kiss
If one word is enough
from your two lips
for light to dress itself

Inside me I lived you
I was slow to find you
and thus life itself was also late
I counted the small things
but you came
How I missed you so
stay that I may feel it
I loved you before I saw us together

My loneliness, my heart, you
My companion, and my night, you
I loved you before I saw us together

(translation: Eva Johanos)

Μοναξιά μου, καρδιά μου εσύ
Συντροφιά μου και νύχτα μου εσύ
Σ’ αγαπούσα πριν μας δω μαζί

Since there was no one left for him
to speak to him
he began to forget
the way of logic.

And since to his words no one
ever answered
as he lived alone
he found the speech of silence.

“You see, it’s getting to be evening, don’t talk
just come a little closer”*

But he could not bear the silence
and so as he lived alone
he was afraid of fear
he took the end as the beginning.

He went out one night into the open
before the big road
to find another world
in the embrace of the sea

And he called Death the beginning
Eros he said is fear
The city he called silence
in the sea he saw a road

“It is yellow, the twilight; the time is 6:30
say something to me, I can’t stand the silence
close the window, I am trembling and the cover is heavy
this city has become an unbearable wound

Tell me if you loved me as much as the sun the dawn
as much as the grey sky, some spring’s rain
if you saw my fear, behind each one of my kisses
tell me if you loved me as much as the night, the silence”*
