Εσύ Δεν Είσαι Απαραίτητος | Esy Den Eisai Aparaititos (You Are Not Necessary)
Music & Lyrics*: Yannis Fyssas
*Lyrics based on a poem by Haroon Rashid "We Fell Asleep In One World And Woke Up In Another"
We fell asleep in one world, but woke up in another.
Hugs and kisses have become weapons and are not permitted.
They can't visit our parents or old friends
The Earth is our homeland, she ain't scared of us, she puts us in her
crosshairs.
The planet may be sending a messsage
We'll have to some time in the big house
Seems that we the clever ones, didn't do our homework
The air, the water, all the Earth and the sky
Without you, is just fine
On your return, listen, I'm not even asking for a kick-back
Just remember, you ain't the boss
You are not necesarry.
We are all in a hurry, passangers on a lonely Earth
As it spins, it's flogging us triumphantly
But we are automatons in world that's already automatic
When the scales have been tampered, who will win in the end?
The planet is sending a messsage:
Return the dice to the house.
The earth will heal, we are the virus.
We fell asleep.
Εσύ Δεν Είσαι Απαραίτητος
Κοιμηθήκαμε σε έναν κόσμο μα ξυπνήσαμε αλλού
Φιλιά και αγκαλιές, γίναν όπλα και δεν επιτρέπονται,
Δεν επισκέπτονται, τους γονίους μας και τους φίλους τους παλιούς,
Πατρίδα μας η Γη, δεν μας τρέμει, σημαδεύει το ντουνιά.
Ο πλανήτης σα νά στέλνει μήνυμα
Τα σίδερα μάς φόρεσε για κέρασμα
Πιαστήκαμε αδιάβαστοι εμείς οι δάσκαλοι.
Ο αγέρας, το νερό, όλη η Γη και ο ουρανός
χωρίς εσένα, είναι ωραία
Στην επιστροφή σου άκου, ούτε ρέφα δε ζητώ
Μόνο θυμήσου, δεν είσαι αφέντης
Εσύ δεν είσαι απαραίτητος.
Ανθρώποι βιαστικοί, επιβάτες σε μια Γη μοναχική
Σαν περιστρέφεται, μας κλωτσάει, προχωράει κυματιστά
Το λαϊκό παλτό το φοράμε αυτομάτως μέχρι εδώ
Ποιος άραγε λοιπόν θα κερδίσει με πειραγμένη ζυγαριά;
Ο πλανήτης σα να στέλνει μήνυμα
Τα ζάρια για επιστροφή στο μάστορα
Δεν είμαστε παρά εμείς, τα σαγόνια αυτής της Γης.
Ξενιτεμένα Τραγούδια #ModernGreekFolk translates to “Expatriated Songs”, but a more accurate phrase might be, “Songs That
Left the Homeland”. The album captures the sentiment of love and longing shared by more than 7 million Greeks living abroad. A blend of Western / Greek instruments and arrangements that push the boundaries of Contemporary Folk, Greek Western Music....more
