Learning languages with music

[Nishin]

So here's the concept :

We all remember learning our own alphabets with the help of songs or melodies when we started school... I always found singing to be a very efficient way to practice foreign languages, be it in learning new vocabulary, practicing comprehension or pronunciation... thus I took the habit to try and find lyrics of foreign songs I like, even when I don't speak the language...

I thought it could be an interesting idea to share and have a music thread that would offer both immediate access to the songs (via youtube links) and to the lyrics both in the original language and in english.

In case someone else is interested in this little project, here are the rules :

- Non english songs are favored, although if an english song has a beautiful text and can help us non native speakers learn new things or simply appreciate beauty of the language it is of course allowed.

- Youtube links are highly favored, I know this will limit songs choices a bit but the idea really is to have direct access to the song... on a second resort links to streaming radios (like radioblog or alike) are allowed.

- Original lyrics and english translation are mandatory.
When a language doesn't use roman alphabet, I encourage using original writing system (for the beauty of the foreign writing ) in addition to a romanized version of the lyrics (the system used for romanization is your choice, you can also create your own if you don't know the official one, using english pronunciation of the alphabet as a base).
For languages written from right to left, it's up to you but please indicate what you chose.
Translations are preferably given on a line by line basis and as literal as possible (unless it makes no sense at all in english of course... if you can't avoid not making sense, explanatory side notes are welcome).

- All styles and genres are welcome, however purely instrumental songs don't belong here, remember we're trying to focus on the lyrics

I think that's it... as an example I will repost a few songs I posted in another thread, that will allow me to correct a few mistakes I missed in my translations...

Ps: I love every languages of the world, I'd especially love to see some Spanish, Italian, Wolof, Swahili, Russian, "Indian", "Chinese" ...

A 20 ans - Amel Bent & Diam's

J'ai 20 ans I'm 20 years old
J'ai la vie dont toute le monde rêve, sous le feu des projecteurs, I have the life everybody dreams of, under the spots' lights
Toujours le sourire aux lèvres Always a smile on my lips
J'ai 20 ans, I'm 20 years old
Dans un monde où l'amour crève, In a world where Love is dying
Je m'accroche à mes valeurs sans jamais demander de trève I'm clinging to my values never asking for truce
J'aurai toujours 20 ans, I'll always be 20 years old
Dans les yeux de ma mère, ma mère In my mother's eyes, my mother
Chacune de ses larmes me pousse à la rendre fière, ma mère Each of her tear encourages me to make her proud, my mother

(Diam's)
J'ai 20 ans, I'm 20 years old
Et j'ai la vie dont tout le monde parle and I live the life everybody talks about
Petit bout de femme je suis venue rapper ma flamme lil' piece of woman I came to rap my flame
Mes 20 ans My 20 years
Moi je les ai vécus dans l'ombre avec pour seul envie l'amour et puis de dévorer le monde I lived them in the shadow, with love as my only wish, and to devour the world
Mais je n'aurai jamais 20 ans dans les yeux de mon père, mon père but I'll never be 20 years old, in my father's eyes, my father
Chacune de ses absences me pousse à la rendre fière, ma mère Each of his absences encourages me to make her proud, my mother


Refrain/Chorus :
J'ai 20 ans, I'm 20 years old
Ils disent que j'ai la vie devant moi They say I got my life in front of me
Que le bonheur est là bas That happiness is over there
Qu'avec le temps va tout s'en va That with time goes, everything goes
J'ai 20 ans I'm 20 years old
Ils disent tu grandiras et tu verras They say you'll grow up and you'll see
Je vous le dit rien ne va, avec le temps va tout va mal I'm telling you nothing goes (well), with time goes everything goes wrong

A 20 ans, Being 20 (yo)
Tu te mets à aimer les hommes, You start loving men
Jusqu'au jour où ils te volent tes 20 ans Until the day they steal your (being) 20 years (old)
Malgré le temps qui te cogne Despite time that punches you
Toi tu donnes et tu donnes tes 20 ans You, you give and you give your (being) 20 years (old)
A la vie et à la mort To life and death
Si ça peut prouver qu'ils ont tort If it can prove them wrong
Qu'ils ont tort de croire qu'à 20 ans That they're wrong to believe that being 20 years old
Tous les jeunes rêvent encore all youngsters still dream

(Diam's)
A 20 ans, Being 20 (yo)
tu te mets à aimer la vie c'est l'âge libre t'as du vice devant les risques t'esquives, You start loving life, that's the age of freedom, you got vice, you dodge risks
T'as 20 ans et t'as la force des vainqueurs et puis rien ne te fait peur car on t'a déjà crevé le coeur, You're 20(yo) and you got the winners' strength, and nothing scares you because your heart has already been broken
T'as la vingtaine et t'es perdu sur la planète, You're in your twenties and you're lost on the planet
Tu rêves d'Adam et Eve pas que de strass et paillettes, You dream of Adam and Eve, not of strass and spangles
T'as 20 ans t'es fragile mais t'es l'avenir de ce pays, You're 20 (yo), you're fragile but your this country's future
Tu sais ta vie c'est celle d'Amel et Melanie You know, your life is this of Amel and Melanie (the song's singers)


Refrain/Chorus


Hier encore j'avais 20 ans, Yesterday even, I was still 20 years old
Hier encore, je voulais bouleverser les genres et marquer mon temps Yesterday even, I wanted to shake genres and mark my time

Hier encore j'avais 20 ans, Yesterday even, I was still 20 years old
Hier encore, je voulais bouleverser les genres et marquer mon temps Yesterday even, I wanted to shake genres and mark my time


Refrain/Chorus(X2)


OoOh 20 ans... OoOh 20 years ...

Jean Racine - faisons l'amour

La lumière baisse, les ombres passent
Light's fading, shadows pass away
Les étoiles naissent, des mains s'enlacent
Stars are born, hands are entwining
Le soleil couche avec la mer
Sun beds with the sea
Les êtres touchent leur partenaire
Beings touch their partner

La nuit réveille les amants, leur sentiments
Night wakes the lovers up, their feelings
La nuit endort la grande ville, les étoiles filent
Night puts the big city to sleep, stars shoot
Jusqu'au petit jour (X2)
Until dawn
Faisons l'amour (X2)
Let's make love

La la la la la, La la la la la
Ta la ta la, Ta la ta la la
Ta la ta la, ta la la la
(X2)

Le silence pèse, des rêves surgissent
Silence weights, dreams spring up
Les mots se taisent, des liens se tissent
Words say nothing, bounds are weaved
Des secrets règnent, les yeux se cherchent
Some secrets rule, eyes are looking for eachother
Des corps se saignent, d'autres se prechent
Some bodies bleed, other preach

On fuit comme des innocents, dire qu'on se ment
We flee like innocents, we lie to ourselves
On fuit ce coeur qui vacille, des coeurs se pillent
We flee that vacillating heart, hearts are pillaged
Jusqu'au petit jour (X2)
Until dawn
Faisons l'amour (X2)
Let's make love

La la la la la, La la la la la
Ta la ta la, Ta la ta la la
Ta la ta la, ta la la la

La nuit réveille les amants, leur sentiments
Night wakes the lovers up, their feelings
La nuit endort la grande ville, les étoiles filent
Night puts the big city to sleep, stars shoot
Jusqu'au petit jour (X2)
Until dawn
Faisons l'amour (X2)
Let's make love

La la la la la, La la la la la
Ta la ta la, Ta la ta la la
Ta la ta la, ta la la la

Eiffel - Tu vois loin
(You see far)

Tu les sens les courants d'air qui s'faufilent sous tes couettes
You feel them, the draughts crawlin' under your ponytails
Jusqu'aux p'tites mèches qui frangent insolemment ta frontale
Until the lil' locks that saucily fringe your frontal
Toutes ces pensées agiles qui en traversant les villes
All these agile thoughts that while going through cities
Sont à deux doigts de s'faire du bien en s'faisant la malle (pun with "bien et mal", good and bad)
Are about to please themselves by leaving

Petite fille dans le cuir d'une fronde en lumière
Little girl in the leather of a lighted sling
A décaniller les chats noirs et les hommes en gris (wow, I actually had to look décaniller up in a dic, so rare)
To make black cats off et men in grey
Si l'or a un prix et que ce prix est l'ennui
If gold has a price and that this price is boredom
Toi tu s'ras sûrement là pour percuter l'immobile
Fo' sure you'll be here to strike immobility

Les éclairs de tes yeux crachent à l'infini
Lightnings of your eyes spit to infinity
On ne peut les contempler sans être ébloui
One can't contemplate them without being blinded
Fluide comme l'air d'un tout nouveau pays
Fluid like an all new country's air
De la lumière à en déchirer la nuit
Light to tear night appart
Tu vois loin, tu vois loin, tu vois loin, beaucoup plus loin que nous
You see far, you see far, you see far, much further than we do

Et le temps que l'on fragmente en 2002 soucis
And time that we split into 2002 worries
Il ne nous avait rien demandé ce vieil ami
He didn't ask us anything, this old friend
Petite conne, gentiment, ton sablier fera le vide
Little cunt, gently, your hour-glass will empty the place
Et nous laissera des heures libres pour s'aimer encore
And will give us free hours to be in love again (or to make love)

Les éclairs de tes yeux crachent à l'infini
Lightnings of your eyes spit to infinity
On ne peut les contempler sans être ébloui
One can't contemplate them without being blinded
Fluide comme l'air d'un tout nouveau pays
Fluid like an all new country's air
De la lumière à en déchirer la nuit
Light to tear night appart
Tu vois loin, tu vois loin, tu vois loin, beaucoup plus loin que nous
You see far, you see far, you see far, much further than we do

Tu vois loin comme quand on ne sait rien et que l'on s'endort
You see far like when one knows nothing and falls asleep
Et dans la petite cuillère faire glisser l'ordinaire que l'on catapulte au loin
And in the spoon to slide the ordinary then catapult it far away
Tu vois loin, tu vois loin
You see far, you see far

Les éclairs de tes yeux crachent à l'infini

Loin, loin, loin, beaucoup plus loin que nous
Far, far, far, much further than us

Note : french [r] sound, while harder than the english one, is not usually pronounced as harsh as this singer does... I never heard him talk though, could be just for some emphasizing effect when he sings...

I usually HATE this guy (Michael Youn) but this is his one funny parody song... there is a lot of slang so translation here is not always literal... I tried to find english equivalents...

Того, что взяла земля. Togo, chto vzyala zyemlya.
That which the land has taken.

Negramaro - L'immenso
(The immense)

Adesso c’è che mi sembra strano parlarti
Now it seems strange for me to speak to you
Mentre ti tendo la mano e penso a te
While I hold your hand and think of you
Che mi riesci a guardare senza occhi e lacrime amare
That you succeed to look at me without having sour tears in your eyes

Se potessi far tornare indietro il mondo
If you could make the world turn backward
Farei tornare poi senz’altro te
I would then make it turn without another you
Per un attimo di eterno e di profondo
For a moment of eternal and deep
In cui tutto sembra, sembra niente è
In which everything seems, it seems nothing be
E niente c’è...
And there is nothing

Adesso c’è che mi sembra inutile non capirti ancora

Se potessi far tornare indietro il mondo
If you could make the world turn backward
Farei tornare poi senz’altro te
I would then make it turn without another you
Per un attimo di eterno e di profondo
For a moment of eternal and deep
In cui tutto sembra, sembra niente c’è
In which everything seems, it seems there is nothing

Tenersi stretto, stretto in tasca il mondo
To hold, tight in the pocket, the world
Per poi ridarlo un giorno solo a te
To then give a day again to you only
A te che non sei parte dell’immenso
To you who is not part of the immense
Ma l’immenso che fa parte solo di te
But the immense that is part of you only
Solo di te, solo di te
Only of you, only of you

E tu, tu ti digrigni i tuoi denti mi lasci parlare non hai più paure
And you, you gnash your teeth, let me speak, do not have more fears
Digrigni i tuoi denti mi lasci guardare non hai più paura amore
Gnash your teeth, let me watch, do not have more fear my love

Se potessi far tornare indietro il mondo
If you could make the world turn backward
Farei tornare poi senz’altro te
I would then make it turn without another you
Per un attimo di eterno e di profondo
For a moment of eternal and deep
In cui tutto sembra, sembra niente c’è
In which everything seems, it seems there is nothing

Tenersi stretto, stretto in tasca il mondo
To hold, tight in the pocket, the world
Per poi ridarlo un giorno solo a te
To then give a day again to you only
A te che non sei parte dell’immenso
To you who is not part of the immense
Ma l’immenso che fa parte solo di te
But the immense that is part of you only
Solo di te, solo di te
Only of you, only of you

And you, you gnash your teeth, let me speak, do not have more fears
Digrigni i tuoi denti mi lasci guardare non hai più paura amore!

And it devores me
Et tout le reste m'est égal
And I don't care about the rest

De plus en plus fort
Stronger and stronger
A chaque souffle à chaque pas
With every breath, with every step
Et je t'aime encore
And I still love you
Et toi tu ne m'entends pas
But you, you dont hear me

this is one reason i want to learn japanese. damn you j-pop.

"Kotoba yori taisetsu na omoi ga
Nichijou to gensou no hazama de yure ugoiteru

Rize toki hanatsu mune ni himeta kagayaki o
Tada massugu ano aoizora o mezashite

Niji iro tsubasa hirogete oozora ni habaitaita
Kanashimi o norikoeyou to suru tabi ni anata wa yuuki o kureru

Mitsuke dashita kotae ga hikari no uzu ni tsutsumete
Ugoki dashita omoi ima wa chikara ni kaete"

they lyrics are pretty "gay" considering the title of the song (niji iro) means colors of the rainbow.

I think that my English improved a lot when I started to listen to popular music when I was in HS.

and it was the 80s!

Talk dirty to me!


But here is a song I love from that time (in Spanish) and now it has new version. a duet with another 80s Spanish Music icon.

unfortunately they have not made a new video for this song, so here is a fan video




Yo seré el viento que va - I will be the wind that goes
navegaré por tu oscuridad - I will sail through your darkness
tú rocío - you, dew
beso frío - cold kiss
que me quemará - that will burn me up

Yo seré tormento y amor - I will be torment and love
Tú la marea que arrastra a los dos - you the tide that drag us both
Yo y tú me and you
Tú y yo you and me
no dirás que no... you will not say no
no dirás que no...
no dirás que no...

Seré tu amante bandido, bandido - I will be your 'bandit lover', bandit
corazón corazón malherido - heart heart in pain
seré tu amante cautivo, cautivo - I will be your 'prisoner of love', prisoner

this is one reason i want to learn japanese. damn you j-pop.
"Kotoba yori taisetsu na omoi ga
Nichijou to gensou no hazama de yure ugoiteru
Rize toki hanatsu mune ni himeta kagayaki o
Tada massugu ano aoizora o mezashite
Niji iro tsubasa hirogete oozora ni habaitaita
Kanashimi o norikoeyou to suru tabi ni anata wa yuuki o kureru
Mitsuke dashita kotae ga hikari no uzu ni tsutsumete
Ugoki dashita omoi ima wa chikara ni kaete"
they lyrics are pretty "gay" considering the title of the song (niji iro) means colors of the rainbow.

From the Pop'n music game? ... or is there a j-pop version somewhere?
My fav in the Pop'n Music (and I think it was in one of the DDR too) is Des-Row's Dakenkai ! I just found a live version!

I think that my English improved a lot when I started to listen to popular music when I was in HS.
and it was the 80s!
Talk dirty to me!
But here is a song I love from that time (in Spanish) and now it has new version. a duet with another 80s Spanish Music icon.
unfortunately they have not made a new video for this song, so here is a fan video
[...]

OMG that song is so dramatic and kitsch ! LUV it !
I must say I don't know many spanish songs, although Spain is just south of me the only Spanish songs we get here are the annoying international hits like macarena or las ketchup ... or the most classical and enjoyable flamenco or Cuban salsa or cha-cha-cha...
Thanks for posting !

Quelques fautes d’orthographe, une légère dyslexie

En regard du profil

Et moi je suis un homme qui aime bien ce genre d’enjeux/je veux bien qu’il me nomme

Nek - Laura non c'è
(Laura's not here)

Laura non c'è, è andata via
Laura's not here, she's gone
Laura non è più cosa mia
Laura's not mine anymore
E te che sei qua e mi chiedi perchè
And you who are here, and who's asking me why
L'amo se niente più mi dà
I love her although she doesn't give me anything anymore
Mi manca da spezzare il fiato
I'm almost choking out of breath
Fa male e non lo sa
It hurts and she doesn't know
Che non mi è mai passata
That I could never get over it

Laura non c'è, capisco che
Laura's not here, I understand
È stupido cercarla in te
That it's stupid to look for her in you
Io sto da schifo credi e non lo vorrei
You think I'm disgusting and I wouldn't want
Stare con te e pensare a lei
To stay with you and think of her
Stasera voglio stare acceso
Tonight I want to stay turned on
Andiamocene di là
Let's get out of here
A forza di pensare ho fuso.
Overthinking had me melt

Chorus:
Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso, se vuoi però
If you want let's love each other now, If you want
Non è lo stesso tra di noi
But it is not the same between us
Da solo non mi basto stai con me
Being alone doesn't satisfy me, stay with me
Solo è strano che al suo posto
It's just strange that instead of her
Ci sei te, ci sei te.
There is you, there is you

Laura dov'è, mi manca sai
Where is Laura, I miss her you know
Magari c'è un altro accanto a lei
Maybe there is another one with her
Giuro non ci ho pensato mai
I swear I never thought
Che succedesse proprio a noi
It would happen to us
Lei si muove dentro un altro abbraccio
She moves, in an other's arms
Su di un corpo che non è piu' il mio
On a body that is not mine
Ed io così non c’è la faccio.
And me, like this, I can't stand it anymore

Chorus

Forse è difficile così
Maybe it's difficult like this
ma non so che cosa fare
But I don't know what to do
Credo che sia logico, per quanto io provi a scappare lei c'è.
I think it's logical that although I try to escape, she's here

Non vorrei che tu fossi un’emergenza
I wouldn't want you to be an emergency
Tra bene ed amore c'è
But between good and love there is
Solo Laura e la mia coscienza.
Only Laura and my conscience

Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso oh no
If you want let's love each other now, oh no
Però non è lo stesso ora so
But it is not the same, now I know
C’è ancora il suo riflesso tra me e te
There still is her reflection between you and I
Mi dispiace ma non posso Laura c'è.
Sorry but I can't, there is Laura

Se vuoi ci amiamo adesso oh no
If you want let's love each other now, oh no
Però non è lo stesso ora so
But it is not the same, now I know
C’è ancora il suo riflesso tra me e te
There still is her reflection between you and I
Mi dispiace ma non posso Laura c'è.
Sorry but I can't, there is Laura

ये किस की है आहट yeh kiski hai aahat

Bridge

ना चाँद हथेली पर सजाया na chaand hatheli par sajaaya
I did not decorate my palm with the moon
ना तारों से कोई भी रिश्ता बनाया na taaron se koi bhi rishta banaaya
Nor did I go after the stars
ना रब से भी कोई शिकायत की na rab se bhi koi shikaayat ki
I did not make any accusation to God
(ना रब से भी कोई शिकायत की) (na rab se bhi koi shikaayat ki)
(I did not make any accusation to God)

हर गम को हमने छिपाया har gham ko humne chhupaaya
I have hidden every sorrow
हर सितम को हँस के उठाया har sitam ko haske uthaaya
I have laughingly taken on every pain
काँटों को भी गले से लगाया kaanton ko bhi gale se lagaaya
I have even embraced thorns
और फूलों से ज़ख्म खाया aur phoolon se zakhm khaaya
And have taken wounds from flowers' blossom

हाँ मगर दुआ में जब ये हाथ उठाया haan magar dua mein jab yeh haath uthaaya
Yes but when I raised these hands in prayer
ओ हाँ मगर दुआ में जब ये हाथ उठाया o haan magar dua mein jab yeh haath uthaaya
Oh yes but when I raised these hands in prayer
ख़ुदा से दुआ में तुम्हें khuda se dua mein tumhein
I begged God in prayer
मांग डाला maang daala
For you
ओ मांग डाला अल्लाह मांग डाला o maang daala allah maang daala
Oh, for you, God, for you
अल्लाह मांग डाला allah maang daala
God, for you
ओ o

Kent - Dom Andra
(The others)

En ensam kvinna söker en man
A lonely woman seeking a man
Svar till: Hjärtat talar sant
Respond to: the heart speaks true
En pessimist i sitt livs form
A pessimist in his best form
Jag vädrar blod, det luktar sorg
I smell blood, it smells like grief

En utomjordings kärlekstörst
An alien's thirst for love
En undran vem som svek vem först
A wondering of who let who down first
Ät fett och socker tills du spyr
Eat fat and sugar 'till you puke
Eller blir en fyra-tons martyr
Or become a four tons martyr
Sälj dig, sälj dig dyrt
Sell youself, Sell youself expensively

Kom låna törnekronan min
Come borrow my crown of thorns
Lid för konsten eller brinn
Suffer for the art or burn
Jag slåss och håller kroppen varm
I fight and keep my body warm
En dröm om mammas ömma famn
A dream of mommy's tender hug

En utomjordings kärlekstörst
An alien's thirst for love
En undran vem som svek vem först
A wondering of who let who down first
Och jag blir gärna en martyr
And I gladly become a martyr
Vi behöver nog en ny
We probably need a new one
Sälj dig, sälj dig dyrt
Sell youself, sell youself expensively

Ett långfinger åt döden
A longfinger for death
Vi gick över lik
We walked over corpses
Och skylta' med vår kärlek,
And forcefully showed our love publicly
Vårt rika inre liv
Our rich inner life
Men plåtarna till himmlen
But the pictures to heaven
Var slut när vi kom dit
Were all out when we came there
Och priset vi betalat
And the price we payed
För att klassas som elit
To be classed as elite
Var att vi blev som dom andra
Was that we became like everyone else
Vi blev som dom andra
We became like everyone else
Vi blev som dom andra
We became like everyone else

Och vi kommer inte längre
And we're not coming further
Vi är tillbaks på noll
We're back at the beginning
Men ingen kommer sörja
But none will grieve
Vi har spelat ut vår roll
We've played our part
Vi glömmer hela skiten
We forget the whole crap
Det betyder ingenting
It doesn't mean anything
Vi skulle kommit längre
We should've come further
Men räckte inte till
But we didnt last
Vi blev som dom andra
We became like everyone else
Vi blev som dom andra
We became like everyone else
Vi blev som dom andra
We became like everyone else

Je marche dans la grande ville
I walk in the big city
Et je n'ai plus froid
And I'm not cold anymore
La terre est mon amie
The earth is my friend
Et souvent je dors dessus
And often, I sleep on it
Et je m'ennuie de mon pays
And I miss my country
Qui était si petit
That was so small

Adieu mon petit pays
Farewell my little country
Adieu ma famille
Farewell my family
Adieu mon île ô Haïti, adieu ma petite terre
Farewell my island oh Haiti, farewell my little land

I remember my country
Down Memory Lane
The wind is my best friend
It always blows for me
Neons in the distance
Clear as daylight
Sometimes I think that I'm not of this world
I remember this song

O farewell my country
My carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haïti
The sun I just cant'see

Adieu mon petit pays
Farewell my little country
Adieu ma famille
Farewell my family
Adieu mon île ô Haïti, adieu ma petite terre
Farewell my island oh Haiti, farewell my little land

Je me souviens des rues
I remember the streets
Et des nuits de Port-au-Prince
And nights in Port-au-prince
Et je suis toujours un étranger
I am still an alien
A la gare internationale
At the international train station
Le vent nous emportait
Wind used to take us
Aussi loin qu'il pouvait
As far as it could
Cet air je le connais
This wind, I know it

I say farewell my country
My carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haïti

Ko li miluje, milo moje,
Ko li usne te, snene budi,
Ne zaboravi ime moje,
kada krene da, da te ljubi

Klasje moje ne spavaj
Njega ljubi, mene uspavaj

Ne lomi mi led, vodu nema
Ne soli mi ranu, suza nema,

Ko li zaigra oro moje,
Neka ne igra za nas dvoje

Klasje moje, mene uspavaj.
Nuna nej, nuna nuna nuna nuna nuna nej,

Na Vidovdan, probudi me, da ga opet pogledam.
Na Vidovdan, probudi me, jos jednom da ga opet pogledam

English Translation
Hora

Who is caressing, my dear one
Who is waking up those sleepy lips
Don’t forget my name
when she starts, starts to kiss you,

My wheat, do not sleep,
kiss him, put me to sleep

Do not break my ice, it lacks water
Do not put salt on my wound, there are no tears

Who is dancing my hora
They should not dance for the two of us

My wheat, put me to sleep
Nuna ney, nuna nuna nuna nuna nuna ney,

Wake me up on St.Vitus’ day, so that I can look at him again
Wake me up on St.Vitus’ day, so that I can see him one more time

[Chalchalero]

Μη μου δίνεις, μη μου δίνεις

Don't give me, don't give me any more
to drink out of your glass
You are making me drunk and I am amazed
at myself
when I look at me, when I look at me
pulling petals off daisies
and constantly asking them:

"He loves me - he loves me not"
and whether he aches for me.
"He loves me - he loves me not"
and whether he aches for me.

If only you knew
how much I've missed you
When we are apart
I find only sorrow.

Don't make me, don't make me
go crazy for your sake.
You have made me wonder
at myself
when I look at me, when I look at me
pulling petals off daisies
and constantly asking them:

"He loves me - he loves me not"
and whether he aches for me.
"He loves me - he loves me not"
and whether he aches for me.

If only you knew
how much I've missed you
When we are apart
I find only sorrow.

"He loves me - he loves me not"
and whether he stays up all night for my sake.
