Ένα Κολιέ από Κοχύλια [Ena Kolie apo Koxylia] [English translation]

The sun is burning my back

my feet are getting all wet by the water

but I'm stuck looking for something,

to find the perfect seashell

And I hear her soft voice

telling me not to go far

telling me to stay close so she can see me

telling me to not go into the deep

But I pretend I can't hear her

I have a necklace to get done

and as soon as I find that one seashell

I'll tie it and give it to her

And look at how the years went by

but I still haven't found the perfect seashell

and I have an unfinished gift that's getting all dusty

in a drawer as if for dowry

And if I knew that the sand I was standing on

was the bottom of this hourglass

that was running merciless

maybe I would have chosen different seashells

And now, if I had the power

to decorate this necklace with words

perhaps I'd choose the simpliest ones

the ones that come to mind first

"I love you and I miss you"

and that's enough, don't you think?

and that was the first seashell on the shore

but I thought you deserved a better one

And now I've grown up and when I look up

you're decorating the night

and you've gone out to pick out stars

to fill up a different necklace

And I've tied this necklace up

and wrapped it tightly around my hands

and when we see each other again I'll give it to you

to complete it with stars
