ξαφνικός έρωτας

πού είσαι τώρα καρδιά μου...;

C και μετά Em και ξανά Am...

είμαστε μακριά

μακριά απ' τη λύπη

μακριά απ' τα ανεξήγητα

μακριά απ' τις στάχτες των ονείρων

μακριά απ' τις σιωπές των κοριτσιών απομεσήμερο Ιούλη

μακριά απ' τ' άδικο και την ξενιτιά

μακριά απ' τις πηγές

μακριά απ' την ηχώ της λήθης

μακριά απ' τα μέτρα μας

μακριά απ' τις αρετές

και πιο μακριά

τόσο μακριά

απ' την ανέφελη αφέλεια της σκέψης

χωρίς εμένα

Ξεχνάς πετώντας μακριά

ξεθωριασμένες φάτσες

γριές νεράιδες κουρασμένα ξωτικά

ζευγάρια να σαλτέρνουν απ'τις ταράτσες.

Παράδεισοι με φώτα σβησμένα

ιπτάμενοι μπάτσοι πάνω απ'την πόλη

μαθαίνεις να ζεις χωρίς εμένα

μα δεν αντέχεις το κρυφό σου ζόρι.

Φωτογραφίες χορεύουν στο κενό

τις κυνηγάς και χάνεσαι στη νύχτα

μυστήριες ώρες, το μπαρ αδειανό

με σκληρά ροκ εντ ρολ στριφογυρνάς στην πίστα.

Μια κόλαση με πρόσωπα βαμμένα

άγγελοι χλωμοί στυγνοί μισθοφόροι

μαθαίνεις να ζεις χωρίς εμένα

μα δεν αντέχεις το κρυφό σου ζόρι.

μετατόπιση προς το ερυθρό

προς την ουσία των λέξεων
όπου η οντότης χάνεται
στην ηχώ απ' το ντέφι

μετά

περιμένω, θεέ μου, περιμένω

ακούς, θεέ της;

ή

έχεις

πάλι

γουόκμαν στ'αυτιά;

Weltschmertz

As a sleeper in metropolis
You are insignificance
Dreams become entangled in the system

Environment moves over the sleeper:
Conditioned air
Conditions sedated breathing
The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh
Soft and warm
But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night

Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams
We fight our insignificance
The harder we fight
The higher the wall

Outside the cancerous city spreads
Like an illness
It's symptoms
In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations
Tailed by the silent spotlights
Of society created paranoia

No alternative could grow
Where love cannot take root
No shadows will replace
The warmth of your contact

Love is dead in metropolis
All contact through glove or partition
What a waste
The City -
A wasting disease

στα τίποτα ευτυχείς!

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people's noble son.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve our bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

with your kiss my life begins

πόσο καιρό έχεις να το ακούσεις ;

εξόδιος ακολουθία

Wake.. from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Pack.. and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing.. us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill, such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace

We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke

toutes les femmes sont des reines

Θαρθεί καιρός που θα αλλάξουν τα πράγματα.

Να το θυμάσαι Μαρία.

άλλη μία χαμένη πανσέληνος. άλλη μία...

Φαρμάκι απ' τον ουρανό,
νύχτα στην πολιτεία,
μέσα σε όνειρο πικρό
ξυπνάει μια μελωδία.

Ω! δεσποινίς μου ουτοπία,
δεν έχει εδώ άλλες καρδιές να κάψεις.
Φύγε για άλλο αστερισμό,
κι αν σου βρεθεί κάτι καλό,
να μας φωνάξεις.

...time to lose it all, cause then we're free!

εδώ. ξανά. καλησπέρα.

I can’t wait, wait for you to change your mind
It’s late, I’m trying to walk the line
Well, it’s way past midnight and there are people all around
Some on their way up, some on their way down
The air burns and I’m trying to think straight
And I don’t know how much longer I can wait

I’m your man, I’m trying to recover the sweet love that we knew
You understand that my heart can’t go on beating without you
Well, your loveliness has wounded me, I’m reeling from the blow
I wish I knew what it was keeps me loving you so
I’m breathing hard, standing at the gate
But I don’t know how much longer I can wait

Skies are grey, I’m looking for anything that will bring a happy glow
Night or day, it doesn’t matter where I go anymore, I just go
If I ever saw you coming I don’t know what I would do
I’d like to think I could control myself, but it isn’t true
That’s how it is when things disintegrate
And I don’t know how much longer I can wait

I’m doomed to love you, I’ve been rolling through stormy weather
I’m thinking of you and all the places we could roam together

It’s mighty funny, the end of time has just begun
Oh, honey, after all these years you’re still the one
While I’m strolling through the lonely graveyard of my mind
I left my life with you somewhere back there along the line
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
But I don’t know how much longer I can wait

Can't Wait - Bob Dylan
