Γι' αυτό υπάρχουνε οι φίλοι [Gi' aftó ypárchoune oi fíloi] [English translation]

The page doesn't turn

at the point where friends meet

and they fake their lives

while losing every hope.

They know that there isn't an answer

and speak about that constantly

and if someone happens to get stuck

they pounce to get him

but in their standoffs

there's room for all the unnecessary.

And I, searching for answers

in your cracked lips

I hear ambiguous news

and in all that I abstain from utterance

Because love makes me

at times a God, and other times a humiliation

it never arrives on time

that's what friends are for.

There where friends overdo it

as they become dirt* again

and the cards are dealt out again

like a used body

and for all that it gives, but doesn't solve

and the next series

is left to the side by silence

silence which becomes a guide

so that they're loneliness doesn't fall

in the trap of fantasy

And I, searching for answers

in your cracked lips

I hear ambiguous news

and in all that I abstain from utterance

Because love makes me

at times a God, and other times a humiliation

it never arrives on time

that's what friends are for.
