Αύγουστος [Avgoustos] [English translation]

AUGUST

by Nikos Papazoglou

But why does the song have to be sad

suddenly, as if it was a piece cut from my heart

and though at this moment I'm flooded with joy

it's risen to my lips and drowned me

"beware of the ending" you will tell me

I love you but I haven't the voice to say it to you

and this is a sorrow that is unbearable

I'm melting in pain because I also sense

that the road we're taking is impassable

"be brave it will pass" you will tell me

How can I forget her loose hair

that washed the sand like a waterfall

as she leaned over me, thousands of kisses

diamonds that she gifted to me so willingly

I'll go to her, and let it damage me

Upon which magic dance's ecstacy

could such a creature have been borne

from which distant star is the light

that went to hide within her two eyes

and me, the lucky one who has seen it

Within her gaze, a tiny sky

it has lighting, clouds and unfolds itself

but as the night falls it is flooded with light

as an August moon rises

illuminating the prison inside

How can I forget her loose hair

that washed the sand like a waterfall

as she leaned over me, thousands of kisses

diamonds that she gifted me with open hands

I'll go to her, and let it damage me
