Ton Eafto Tou Paidi

His Own Child

Ton Eafto Tou Paidi

His own child holds himself by the handTon eafto tou pedi ap'to heri kratai
On the same day and tonight life will take themSta idia meri ki apopse i zoi tha tous pai
They will pass again from the memories to the housesTha perasoun xana ap'tis mnimis ta spitia
From empty seas, from the fear of threadsApo thalasses adies, ap'tou fovou ta dihtia
They will pass again from the memories to the housesTha perasoun xana ap'tis mnimis ta spitia
From empty seas, from the fear of threadsApo thalasses adies, ap'tou fovou ta dihtia

They will stand together and see time passingTha stathoune mazi kai tha doun na pernane
Like rivers the moments that never grow oldSan potamia i stigmes pou pote den gernane
And the faces that became roads and yearsKe ta prosopa pou eginan dromi ki eones
And the dreams that escaped in hidden yearsKe ta onira pou eskapsan mes sta hronia kripsones

When I was a childOtan imoun pedi
I had found a gardeniha vri enan kipo
To hide thereGia na krivome eki
from life when I missap'ti zoi otan lipo
When I was a childOtan imoun pedi
I had hidden a suniha kripsi enan ilio
To have my road lightNa 'hi o dromos mou fos
And my silence a friendKi i siopi mou enan filo
To have my road lightNa 'hi o dromos mou fos
And my silence a friendKi i siopi mou enan filo

His own child will touch himselfTon eafto tou pedi ap'to heri tha piasi
Like a wave for a moment will freeze, will breakSa giali mia stigmi tha ragisi, tha spasi
They will separate later and each will goTha horisoun meta ki o kathenas tha pai
In a world half that neither of them seesS'enan kosmo miso pou tous dio den horai
They will separate later and each will goTha horisoun meta ki o kathenas tha pai
In a world half that neither of them seesS'enan kosmo miso pou tous dio den horai
