Peggy Zina/Πέγκυ Ζήνα - O Xeiroteros Exthros Mou/Ο χειρότερος εχθρός μου to English

Hi everyone,

I know the songs of Peggy Zina's cd "To Pathos Einai Aformi" (a great cd, I might add) are already translated, but I found out the one who did that, must have done it with the help of google translate, for google translate gave the same translations, and the translations didn't make much sense.

I hope someone is willing to translate this song into English?

Evxaristo poly!!!!!


O Xeiroteros Exthros Mou

Ήτανε κάποτε μια αγάπη
παραμύθι μαγικό
ήταν άνοιξη κι Απρίλης
κ μπορούσες να με στείλεις
'κει ψηλά στον ουρανό
πριν ξεσπάσει η καταιγίδα
τόσα θαύματα που είδα
μ' είχαν κάνει όλον τον κόσμο ν' αγαπώ

Ο χειρότερος εχθρός μου
είναι πια ο εαυτός μου
που δε λέει να σε ξεχάσει
και το δρόμο μου να βρω
στα ποτάμια που 'χω κλάψει
παίρνω όρκο ιερό
το χειρότερο εχθρό μου
αχ αυτόν τον εαυτό μου
να αρχίσω κάποια μέρα ν' αγαπώ

Ήτανε κάποτε λατρεία
σ' ένα σπίτι εσύ κι εγώ
δυο φεγγάρια στην αυλή του
και τ' αστέρια στη σκεπή του
ένα όνειρο να ζω
πριν ξεσπάσει η καταιγίδα
τόσα θαύματα που είδα
μ' είχαν κάνει όλον τον κόσμο ν' αγαπώ

Ο χειρότερος εχθρός μου
είναι πια ο εαυτός μου
που δε λέει να σε ξεχάσει
και το δρόμο μου να βρω
στα ποτάμια που 'χω κλάψει
παίρνω όρκο ιερό
το χειρότερο εχθρό μου
αχ αυτόν τον εαυτό μου
να αρχίσω κάποια μέρα ν' αγαπώ

το χειρότερο εχθρό μου
αχ αυτόν τον εαυτό μου
να αρχίσω κάποια μέρα ν' αγαπώ

Thnx BlackHeart, the latter one is a translation that I was searching for!! (that one makes sense )

Evxaristo poly!!

Oh, you are more than welcome, I didn't do anything, really.

Anything else you may need, just post it.

Well, you found the already existing translation! I've tried, but I only found a rubbish one. So the thnx given to you are more than meant! And I love Greek music a lot, so don't be surprised if I will post some more translation requests. In fact, if I'm corectly, Despina Vandi, Elli Kokkinou, and Kalomira should be releasing their next album anytime soon, aren't they? I know that despina and Elli have postponed; do you know anything about that perhaps? What's up with that?

And if Peggy stays at the track she is right now, than I will follow her moves in music as well!

ΟΚ dear friend, I'll give a piece of advice which you may find useful. The ATL search function does not work with Greek characters, so here is another shortcut: Suppose you want to search for Πέγκυ Ζήνα. Visit Google and type this:

Πέγκυ Ζήνα site:allthelyrics.com/forum/greek-lyrics-translation/

^...in this exact form, with the word "site" followed by : and without http://www.

This way Google will only search for these greek words and excusively within this lyrics subforum. If you are looking for a specific song, you can use a single line of it instead of a name.

Hope this helps.

BlackHeart, my apologies for the late respons! Better late than never, right?

But thnx for the tips! At this moment I always search via google, typing: artist (in this case Peggy Zina) songtitle (O Xeiroteros Exthros Mou) translations allthelyrics. Most of the times I get a result was looking for. But I've tried your advice, and indeed, I got a lot of info/ results! So great!

Again, evxaristo poly!!!!

You are welcome, no big deal really!

Au contraire; you gave me a very useful tip! And with me, I guess/ hope, many others as well!
