lyrics

Γλυκόπικρο Τραγούδι | Glykopikro Tragoudi (Bittersweet Song)
Music: Yannis Fyssas
Lyrics: Thomas Apostolidis & Yannis Fyssas*
*Chorus lyrics based on poetry written by Orfeas Peridis "Ένα μικρό παιδί σ' ακολουθεί"

Αν είχαν λέξεις τα πουλιά
Κι ανθρώπινα μιλούσαν
Τα λόγια που ‘γραψες γι’ αυτά
Θα σου τα τραγουδούσαν.

Κάνεις τη νύχτα μέρωμα
Και τ’ άγκαθο λουλούδι
Η ζήση σου ολάκερη
Γλυκόπικρο τραγούδι.

Όπου κι αν πας, όπου κι αν πας
Ένα μικρό παιδί πάντα σ’ ακολουθεί
Κλαίει, γελάει, παραμιλάει
Xαμένο δίκιο σου ζητάει
Και ο καιρός περνάει
Mα η ψυχή ποτέ δε γερνάει.

Κάθε λοιπόν τέτοιο καιρό
Στις δώδεκα του Μάρτη
Θυμάμαι μιαν υπόσχεση
Κι απ’ τη ψυχή μου πάρ’ τη.

Μεσ’ απ’ τις μνήμες τις παλιές
Ποτέ που δε θα σβήσουν
Στ’ ορκίζομαι οι πασχαλιές
Ότι θα ξανανθίσουν.
