Αϋπνίες [Aipnies] [English translation]

I'm coming from the left...coming from the right

I try lying on my back...then on my stomach

but nothing...nothing

The pills aren't working, I don't want them anymore

I keep waking up during the evening in empty rooms

Insomnia, insomnia...insomnia...insomnia...

So much insomnia, crazy insomnia

I can't sleep outside of our embrace*

So much insomnia, crazy insomnia

Come back, I can't cope, I'll die and it'll be your fault

I switch off the TV, I throw away the magazines

I close my eyes again

still nothing

The pills aren't working, I don't want them anymore

I burn out** and fall apart*** but still my eyes don't close

Insomnia, insomnia...insomnia...insomnia...

So much insomnia, crazy insomnia

I can't sleep outside of our embrace*

So much insomnia, crazy insomnia

Come back, I can't cope, I'll die and it'll be your fault

Pills.....sedatives.....still nothing...nothing...

Insomnia, insomnia...insomnia...insomnia...

So much insomnia, crazy insomnia

I can't sleep outside of our embrace*

So much insomnia, crazy insomnia

Come back, I can't cope, I'll die and it'll be your fault

Insomnia...insomnia...

* αγκαλιές = hugs

** Σβήνω means to extinguish, to put out, to burn out, literally a burn out from stress/anxiety/insomnia

***γίνομαι κομμάτια literally means to become parts or to come apart, so i translated it metaphorically as to 'fall apart'
