Θα 'μαι κοντά σου [όταν με θες] [Tha ' mai koda sou [otan me thes] ] [English translation]

I woke suddenly from my sleep

and heard two voices

One said forget her

and cry no more

But the other was yours

words in the nightmare of my sleep

You said 'Sleep my love

I will be near you whenever you want me...'

The years are endless

but life is short

I got used to love

as you did too

But time is a cage

a cheap hotel for two moments

Somewhere to hold the pain

at nights when I stay alone

To count the silences

to remember you saying when I am hurting

'I will be near you whenever you want me...'

The fairytale ended

and life begins

Oh, would that your falsehood

were the truth

What will I do with my life

I will throw it to drown in the fairytale

To delude my soul

to believe again from the start

To believe you when you touch me

at nights when you whisper and say

'I will be near you whenever you want me...
