Δίψα [Dipsa] [English translation]

Ιt is not Circe*,

the witch, the godess of sex,

Calypso*, Nausicaa*

with dad' s money.

It is not the sea, the sun,

the lost islands.

It's none of them

and it's all this...

It's your hidden, endless thirst

its the thirst that keeps you alive.

It's your hidden, endless thirst

it's your thirst for clean sky.

It's not the friends, the sitting up late nights

the cigaretes, the drinks

the musics, the musics

around the same fire.

Your old dreams, trips

with new sails.

It's none of them

and it's all this...

It's your hidden, ...

Your old victories and defeats

and correct mistakes.

Living in foreign places , living in foreign places

the joy of returning

and that someone waving at you

from the port , far

it's none of them

and it's all of them

It's your hidden, ...

For a sky,

that changes colours

and looks like a river,

like water.

Like the water

that you bend and drink,

but you don't erase the fire

you don't erase the (painful) yearning

for a sky...

It's your hidden, ...
