Haris Alexiou - O Fantaros (Jerusalem, June 1991.) - Greek and English lyrics




Ο φαντάρος
 
Στίχοι: Μανώλης Ρασούλης
Μουσική: Μάνος Λοΐζος
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Χαρούλα Αλεξίου
Απόψε πήρε άδεια Tonight he took permission
και με την τσέπη άδεια And with his empty pocket
τραβάει για την πόλη. He shoots for the city
Ρίχνει ένα γεια σου στο φρουρό, He throws a "Hello" to the guard
σαλτάρει σ ένα φορτηγό, He leaps into a truck
κι ο χάρος δεν γλιτώνει. And the death doesn't escape.

Έλα στην παρέα μας, φαντάρε Come into our company, soldier
κάτσε κι ένα ποτηράκι πάρε. Sit down and drink a little drink
Ξέχνα στρατώνες και σκοπιές  Forget about barracks and lookout posts
κι από το μπρούσκο της καρδιάς μας πιες. And drink from the dry wine of our heart.

Η πόλη σαν τη γόησσα The city as the charmer
σαν την παλιά αρχόντισσα As the old noblewoman
ανάβει τα κολιέ της. Lets its necklaces turning on
Μα σαν τον φέρνει στα στενά But when it takes him into the alleys
τον κουβεντιάζει η μοναξιά, Loneliness chats with him
τον παίρνει αγκαζέ της. It takes him arm in arm.

Οι δρόμοι τον κουράσανε, The roads have tired him
παράπονα τον πιάσανε, Some complaints have grasped him
στο ταβερνάκι μπαίνει. He comes into the little bar
Κάποιον να βρει για ένα πιοτό,To find someone for a drink
να χουν τον ίδιο τον καημό, For them to have the same sorrow
μαζί να δουν πού βγαίνει.For them to see together where does it go out.
