Γιατί δεν έρχεσαι ποτέ; [Giati den erkhesai pote?] [English translation]

Why don't you ever come, when I want you?

Unknown song and unknown silence.

Behind the eyes, behind life's veil

You're hiding like rain that dried, I know.

Downpour that I'm waiting my hole life

Why aren't you coming?

I want a storm to come and scream

Whatever we didn't say because of fear and shame

To dig inside us and in our eyes

To throw out every secret word of us

Until it comes up and burn the sun

Why don't you come?

Why don't you ever come?

Why don't you ever come when I want you?

Why don't you ever come when it gets dark?

When I'm holding like a handle from drinking

From the drink of my imagination that melts me

Every sip of it burns like ice and like snow

And blows up the deepest of my mind

Why aren't you coming?

I want a storm to come and drown us

In a song that nobody wrote

Not to show anything that we didn't become

To be a celebration, to open her hug

To the "can't" of our lost life

Why don't you come?

Why don't you ever come?

Why don't you ever come when I want you?

From my soul's holy part

Up to my life's brothel

Build up a bridge to go and come back

Why don't you ever come, never when I want you?

Close my eyes and come to see you

Why don't you come?

Why don't you ever come?

Why don't you ever come when I want you?
