For my generation

This one goes to my generation, to those near forty, to those I think I've known forever, those we used to spend nights awake in squares together decades ago. Children from a thousand corners and neighbourhoods are my generation, who have played in the dirt and have bled in the empty lots, which still existed.
We came out at the end of the 20th century, went on bikerides, secretly, from Kifisia to Drapetsona, my generation, because it doesn't fit on a stage, with no backyards, our backyard would become the whole city
And all the streets would lead us to loved ones' hang out spots, but asphalt, underground crossings and railroad tracks.
My generation, as you say, has walked the ways, solved the differences, united the neighbourhoods, mocked the childish rivalries of yesterday, it doesn't judge you by your origin, but it will judge you at your destination by your heart and mind.
That's why I'm talking about my generation.
About my generation that has walked roads, that has gotten to know worlds and loved ways of other people, about my generation that is currently paying, but not growing up, about my generation that is bleeding still.
This one goes to my generation, the generation of the Regime Reform, it hasn't lived through the 'stone years', war and refugee status, it had been persuaded by then that the fire's been put out, that heroes have gifted it its Freedom, and so my generation carries the guilt of not having fought for what has been gifted to it, with no persecutions and passions, without a tragedy to scar it, they wondered what name it would take.
They had called it the 'x' generation, my generation, an unknown generation, lost, clueless about the fate that's been waiting for it, comes out of oblivion and finds itself being mortgaged, it isn't free, but with hands and feet tied up.
It's my generation that got tired of owning and having bosses, but never even took the loans.
Now they've orderded it to be brave, but for what ideal and under which flag?
Because my generation has inherited military camps, brothers and sisters that bled, instead of plowing that same land, leaders and parties, flags and colours.
They have thrown it down the trenches, my generation, which slowly, timidly is trying to break the heavy old chains.
This one goes to my generation, which is now called up to make revolutions, my generation that's been put to sleep by schools and televisions.
About my generation that has walked roads, that has gotten to know worlds and loved ways of other people, about my generation that is currently paying, but not growing up, about my generation that is bleeding still.
This one goes to my generation, the generation of globalisation, which doesn't have much in common with its parents and grandparents, and has more in common with other people, from other places. With other languages, other codes, other minds.
That's why my generation has learned to hate the country it lives in, and if it's now vegetating, my generation doesn't care, because my generation here feels like a caged beast.
For my generation borders are just a line.
I'm talking about our own children. They sprung up from every corner, made the country a neighbourhood.
This one goes to those who remain children, who look at you with an innocent gaze, they make the world a neighbourhood, this one goes to my generation, to those who chose to leave, to those who've fallen head on to the struggle, but, above all, to those who still go about the fight of life every day with dignity.
To my generation, that is still bleeding...

Go, You're Free





This name of mine,
say it no more, please.
That name of yours,
I've already erased it from my heart.
 

And go, you are free,
go but remember
that, like me, one day
you will suffer this way.
 

But this name of mine
will return again to your lips
and your heart
surely will seek me out.
 

But no, don't fool yourself
that I can wait for you
and if you leave me,
no, don't return.
 

And go, you are free,
and go but remember
that it will be your fault
if you regret me.
 

~~~~~
 

But no, don't fool yourself
that I can wait for you
and if you leave me,
no, no, don't return.
 

And go, you are free,
and go but remember
that it will be your fault
if you regret me.
 

And go, you are free,
and go, you are free,
and go, you are free,
and go, you are free.

Speak to Him





You're a friend and I know it,
I trust you and therefore
if I ask you a favor,
you shouldn't say no,
you mustn't say no to me.
 

Then speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.
 

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.
 

Yes, I know you're sorry,
but it's your fault that he
this evening
didn't show up with me
and you already understood why.
 

And so speak to him,
make peace between us
and don't tell me,
don't tell me that you can't.
 

Oh, speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.
 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.
 

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him!

Tonight You'll Hear a Song





Tonight you'll hear a song,
a song you already know.
The woman you no longer love will sing it,
the woman who will leave you but who won't cry.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will stay with you throughout your life,
a song be will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.
 

Tonight I'll relive for the last time
these moments that I'll no longer find
but when I disappear and only you are found,
you'll cry because you'll remember.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.

A Reflection in the Water





It was
a moonlit evening,
under the bridge the river slept
and a woman sang.
 

Clear,
the water slipped away
and the image of your smile
the river mirrored.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing remained,
but I inside my mind
still see you.
 

It was
a moonlit evening,
your voice spoke
and the river silently listened.
 

And it was,
almost a year has passed
but every evening I return to look
into the river to dream.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.
