Mario Frangoulis - Ton Eafto Tou Paidi

Ton Eafto Tou Paidi

Ton eafto tou pedi ap'to heri kratai
Sta idia meri ki apopse i zoi tha tous pai
Tha perasoun xana ap'tis mnimis ta spitia
Apo thalasses adies, ap'tou fovou ta dihtia
Tha perasoun xana ap'tis mnimis ta spitia
Apo thalasses adies, ap'tou fovou ta dihtia
Tha stathoune mazi kai tha doun na pernane
San potamia i stigmes pou pote den gernane
Ke ta prosopa pou eginan dromi ki eones
Ke ta onira pou eskapsan mes sta hronia kripsones
Otan imoun pedi
iha vri enan kipo
Gia na krivome eki
ap'ti zoi otan lipo
Otan imoun pedi
iha kripsi enan ilio
Na 'hi o dromos mou fos
Ki i siopi mou enan filo
Na 'hi o dromos mou fos
Ki i siopi mou enan filo
Ton eafto tou pedi ap'to heri tha piasi
Sa giali mia stigmi tha ragisi, tha spasi
Tha horisoun meta ki o kathenas tha pai
S'enan kosmo miso pou tous dio den horai
Tha horisoun meta ki o kathenas tha pai
S'enan kosmo miso pou tous dio den horai
Otan imoun pedi iha vri enan kipo
Gia na krivome eki ap'ti zoi otan lipo
Otan imoun pedi iha kripsi enan ilio
Na 'hi o dromos mou fos
Ki i siopi mou enan filo
Na 'hi o dromos mou fos
Ki i siopi mou enan filo

Himself As A Child
Himself as a child he's holding hands with
Over the same places life will take them tonight
They'll be passing again by the houses of memory
by empty seas, by the nets of fear
They'll be passing again by the houses of memory
by empty seas, by the nets of fear
They'll stand together and see passing by
like rivers the moments that never grow old
and the faces that have turned themselves into streets and centuries
and the dreams that have dug through the years hideouts
when I was a child
I had discovered a garden
So I could hide myself there
whenever I'm absent from life
when I was a child
I had hidden a sun
So that my way could have light
And my silence (could have) a friend
So that my way could have light
and my silence a friend
Himself as a child from the hand will take
Like a glass for one instant he'll crack, he'll break
They'll then separate and each one will go
To a world cut in half where both don't fit
They'll then separate and each one will go
To a world cut in half where both don't fit
when I was a child I had discovered a garden
So I could hide myself there whenever I'm absent from life
when I was a child I had hidden a sun
So that my way could have light
And my silence a friend
So that my way could have light
And my silence a friend
