Στο Τραπέζι Που Τα Πίνω ..||.. On The Table At Which I Sit Drinking

1 post in this topic

Στο τραπέζι που τα πίνω .........||........ On the table at which I sit drinking

 

Στίχοι:  Ευτυχία Παπαγιαννοπούλου .........||........ lyrics: Eftychia Papagianopoulou

Μουσική:  Απόστολος Καλδάρας .........||........ music: Apostolos Kaldaras

 

Στο τραπέζι που τα πίνω .........||........ On the table at which I sit drinking

λείπει το ποτήρι σου, .........||........ your glass is missing

λείπουν τα γλυκά σου λόγια .........||........ [and] the sweet words are missing

που άκουγα απ’ τα χείλη σου. .........||........ that I used to hear from your lips

 

Η θύμησή σου τη νύχτα αυτή .........||........ The memory of you, tonight,

μες στην καρδιά μου είναι καρφί. .........||........ is like a nail through my heart

 

Όπου ρίξω την ματιά μου .........||........ Wherever I cast my eyes

βλέπω την σφραγίδα σου, .........||........ I see your mark

κι αν ματώνει η καρδιά μου, .........||........ and if my heart drips blood

ζω με την ελπίδα σου. .........||........ I'll live on hope

 

Η θύμησή σου τη νύχτα αυτή .........||........ Remembering you, this night

μες στην καρδιά μου είναι καρφί. .........||........ feel like a nail piercing my heart.



It's been so long since I posted a song translation that's I've almost forgotten how. Not how to do them, how to post them...

The two different translations of the refrain are on purpose, I like doing that, emphasizing that there's no such thing as The right translation.

 

Lyrics, of course, from http://www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?info=Lyrics&act=details&song_id=13420

 

and maybe this (though I wouldn't mind a better quality recording if anyone has it):
