lyrics


GR:
Και γιατί δεν μας το λες - Γιώργος Κατσαρός (1928)

Της θάλασσας βαστώ κακιά, αμάν, αμάν
του βαποριού αμάχη

της θάλασσας βαστώ κακιά, αμάν, αμάν
του βαποριού αμάχη

που πήρε τη αγάπη μου, αμάν αμάν
και τήνε χαίρουντ’ άλλοι

και γιατί δεν μας το λες
βρε, και γιατί δεν μας το λες

και γιατί δεν μας το λες
τον πόνο που ’χεις κι όλο κλαις

βρε, και γιατί δεν μ’ άνοιξες
βρε, και γιατί δεν μ’ άνοιξες

βρε, και γιατί δεν μ’ άνοιξες
παρά το τζάμι σφάλισες

πανάθεμά την τη στιγμή, κορίτσι μου
πανάθεμα την ώρα

πανάθεμά την τη στιγμή, κορίτσι μου
πανάθεμα την ώρα

όπου σε πρωτογνώρισα, μικρούλα μου
σε τούτη δα τη χώρα

και γιατί δεν μας το λες
βρε, και γιατί δεν μας το λες

βρε, και γιατί δεν μας το λες
τον πόνο που ’χεις κι όλο κλαις

ENG:
Why don’t you tell us - George Katsaros (1928)

I hold a grudge against the sea, aman aman,
And I hate the ships

I hold a grudge against the sea, aman aman,
And I hate the ships

That took my love away aman aman
And others have her now

Why don’t you tell us
vre, why don’t you tell us

Why don’t you tell us
The pain / grief you have and you keep crying

And why didn’t you open up (the door) to me
And why didn’t you open up (the door) to me

And why didn’t you open up (the door) to me
But you locked the window

Damn the moment, my girl
Damn the moment

Damn the moment, my girl
Damn the moment

When I first met you, my little one
In this country

Why don’t you tell us
vre, why don’t you tell us

Why don’t you tell us
The pain you have and you keep crying
