Haris Alexiou, duets / Χαρούλα Αλεξίου, ντουέτα

A deep scar that will never fade
it will never fade
An old scar
that won’t let joy last long

And we wander in the silences
along with what grieves us
We get lost for a nothing
in the middle of the road

Darling, since I love you
don’t be afraid of anything
All are in the mind
ailment and remedy

If shadows cover you
lean on my shoulder and weep
And I, with your tears
I’ ll drown all my sins

And if we wander in silences
along with what grieves us
When we share it, you and I
it keeps us tied together

Κι αν στις σιωπές περιπλανιόμαστε
μ’ αυτό που μας πονά
όταν στα δυο το μοιραζόμαστε
δεμένους μας κρατά

You know me better than anyone in my life
in my magic journeys,you were my companion
When the night used to send me to a desert faraway
it was so simple for you to find me
I tell you,you know me better than anyone in my life
it is so simple for you to find me when I’ m lost

And tonight that you found me again in this deserted city
take me with you
Hide me in your coat,make me part of your body
till the end of your mind,till the end of your sky
Wrap me with your scarf,like your child,like your angel
so I can lose myself in your scent and fit in your name

The city can be tough to her grown up children
and when your other half is away,you’ re half as well
but when I talk with you in the dark alleys of the city
for the ocean of my loneliness,you become an island
The city can be tough to her grown up children
and when your other half is away,you’ re half as well

Every morning I set out to go to work
the fishing boats left like birds
every morning with Minas we made up
faraway trips to Jamaica

And we sailed in the seas, my old love
and later in the evening, a bit drunk in the taverns
I drank you, my girl, sip by sip

Years on the job, cutter and nail,
I made a little boat for your sake
I carved in her bow a mermaid of the sea
and I became, one evening, your captain

And we sailed in the seas, my old love
and later in the evening, a bit drunk in the taverns
I drank you, my girl, sip by sip
