Περίεργο Παιχνίδι [Periergo Paihnidi] [English translation]

Black wine like a bull’s blood in the arena

The second pack (of cigarettes) readily emptying

the motorbike of time doesn’t have any breaks

and your love’s holding a stiletto

Your body’s full of minefields

a shadow hiding in the faintness of a mirror.

I see inside me wildfires and dark figures

withal I want you with a card player’s passion

[Refrain:] x2

You’re playing a strange game and I’m afraid that

I’ll lose myself again in your eyes

Alternating curves and the asphalt burning

the months whizzing past like trucks

You’re taking off and leaving behind a love full of depts,

open accounts and mortgages

As a stray dagger come peg my body

a venomous sting, a venomous thorn

I'm following this frenzied course of yours

even if I make the same mistakes all over

(Refrain) x2
