Αύγουστος [Avgoustos] [English translation]

AUGUST

Nikos Papazoglou - Thessaloniki - Greece

Why should the song be so sad

It suddenly broke away from my heart

And at this very moment, when I feel so joyous

It's climbed up to my lips and drowned me

"Beware till the end", you'll tell me...

I love you, but have no voice to tell you so...

And this pain is unbearable

Sadness is cracking me, because I, too, feel

The road we've taken is impossible

Have faith, you'll get by, you'll tell me...

How can I forget her loose hair,

The sand, washing down like a cascade

As she was leaning over me with thousands of kisses,

Diamonds which she generously offered me

I'll go, even if it turns out wrong

In what ecstasy swirl,

What mysterious dance

Can a creature like her have been born?

From which distant star does this light,

Which came to hide inside her eyes, originate?

And me, so lucky to have seen it...

Inside her gaze, a small, tiny sky

Sparkles, shadows, reflects

But as night falls, it floods with light

A rising August moon

And prison glows from within...

How can I forget her loose hair,

The sand, washing down like a cascade

As she was leaning over me with thousands of kisses,

Diamonds which she generously offered me

I'll go, even if it turns out wrong
