Φωτιά Στο Λιμάνι [Fotiá Sto Limáni] [English translation]

I will always be a bullet in your gun

to kill all those who kill the day

With the black glasses and the white dress

looking far away, at the fire at the harbor.

I know a child who tells me that he knows you

that you had seen, a summer long ago,

in the piece that‘s missing from the broken mirror,

a fire in the harbor, the sun setting again.

Red clouds in the sky and you’re laughing…

You’re laughing as the ship is getting closer like a beast

And you tell me “so, remember,

Don’t throw your life to the dogs.”

I will always be a bullet in your gun

To shoot the water, to shoot the air,

To remember again all that we had done,

the fires at Dépôt*, the fire in the harbor.

Red clouds in the sky and you’re laughing….

You’re laughing as the ship is getting closer like a beast

And you tell me “so, remember,

Don’t throw your life to the dogs.”

You’re laughing ‘cause I want you, you’re lowering the hat

And you tell me “so, remember,

Let your life roll like a film.”

I know a child who tells me that he knows you

that you had seen, a summer long ago,

in the piece that‘s missing from the broken mirror,

a fire in the harbor, the sun setting again.
