Η αγάπη πού μένει [I Agapi Pou Menei] [English translation]

One home downstairs, another one upstairs,

one home next door and I’m in the middle.

Always I say ‘What am I doing? Where did I come?’

I always say ‘I’ll go’ and I always stay here…

I’ve made up my mind, I will move out

but the walls tell me ‘what will you find somewhere else?’

Man’s life doesn’t look back

here we live what everybody else lives.

Tell me where does love live, in which floor

if she sleeps in the nights or if she’s waiting for me,

on a window I saw a living shadow

and my heart is going up the stairs to find you.

From the one wall they say ‘silence’

from the other they start a fight

the one (says) ‘I’ll call the police’,

‘I’m the owner’, the other responds.

And from the third wall the lady next door

she’s opened her eye, she overhears

and it is more hers the other’s story

what does he have in his bed, what does he have in his life.

Tell me where does love live, in which floor

if she sleeps in the nights or if she’s waiting for me,

on a window I saw a living shadow

and my heart is going up the stairs to find you.
