Λίγοι Και Καλοί / Ligoi Kai Kaloi (The Precious & Few)
Music & Lyrics*: Yannis Fyssas
*Lyrics loosely based on a blog attributed to Marisa Papa
As we board, I note those in sight,
A host of friends, on this train of life
A life brimming with dreams and plans
Slowly waning, like drifting sands
A lucid dream, there ain't no turning back.
If you set out with a crowd so grand
Gradually you'll find they'll disband
The train empties don't worry, life's train rolls on through
Like lost years in the dark, the stations pass you by
Most people step off, but a handful carry through
The precious and few.
In our small yard, rain whispers its tale
Night's shadows dance, as storm winds prevail
I'll linger on, as the station fades from view
When others depart, I'll remain true
This adventure of ours, the only truth to rely
When the curtain falls, it's you and I, side by side.
Λίγοι Και Καλοί
Απ' την αρχή μετράω τους διπλανούς
Φίλους πολλούς, σε τούτο το βαγόνι
Και βλέπω μια ζωή που φαίνεται γεμάτη
Και σιγά σιγά αδειάζει το βαγόνι.
Το ταξιδι, σαν όνειρο χωρίς επιστροφή.
Aν ξεκινήσεις με πολλούς ανθρώπους, σιγά σιγά θα δείς
Ν' αδειάζει το βαγόνι, μη φοβάσαι
Έτσι ειν' το τρένο της ζωής.
Σαν τα χαμένα χρόνια στο σκοτάδι, περνάνε οι σταθμοί
Κι ο κόσμος κατεβαίνει και μένουν λίγοι
Λίγοι και καλοί.
Ψιχαλίζει στη μικρή μας την αυλή
Πέφτει η νύχτα, και μια μπόρα θυμωμένη
Εγώ δεν κατεβαίνω ούτε σε τούτο το σταθμό
Κι αν φύγουν όλοι εδώ, εγώ θα μένω
Αυτό το ταξίδι μας, ισως τελικα, είναι το μόνο αληθινό.
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
