Χριστούγεννα [Hristougenna] [English translation]

Christmas

I'm not waiting for anything anymore

The name of Santa was just "dad"

and he is just an ex Greek communist

a mortal

with a dream that doesn't have a cover

And the spring girl mum

who is filling herself up with an old prescription

the smells remind me of something heavy

a wound

that we just don't want to open again

Christmas

My playmobil are handicapped, and it's my fault

in the champagne there are put off fireworks

perhaps for some it's still festive

but who are they?

do they live in incubators or villages?

Christmas

And whatever I start, goes wrongly

it alwyas takes me to the nails of a cross

and sometime's it's me who nails them

on another lamb

this is the way it has always been and it will always be

Christmas

And you, what do you want from my life again?

with your deadly lamps

and your always welcome kiss

How much I hate you

you want to always stay the same and for me to change

you want me as a personal creator

don't say that I look like Donald

I am glowing

under a spotlight that's never enough

Christmas

What's my fault if when you're away, my life is thirsty

she pulls her donkey slowly

to find a night inn

which is open

or perhaps a manger to fit the void

Christmas

Without them, the year doesn't start

I am gathering shepherds, wise men from far away

I am celebrating just to exchange once and for all

Merry Christmas

without pretending anything for once
