Μελαγχολία μου εσύ κυρία μου σ' όλα τα δύσκολα εσένα αγκαλιάζω...

γλυκιά μελαγχολία..

 

Όταν κάποιο βράδυ θα σε ξυπνήσει απότομη η κραυγή σου
και τρέξεις στη μαμά σου να το πεις
Και κείνη τρομαγμένη μες στο ψυγείο κλείσει τη φωνή σου
μα θα `ναι αργά μεσάνυχτα και θα `χεις κουραστεί

Όταν θ’ αγαπήσεις το γέλιο σου και την αναπνοή σου
και δεις πως έχεις κάτι να μας πεις
Στο πλάι σου ο άνθρωπος που διάλεξες βιτρίνα στη ζωή σου,
τριάκοντα αργύρια αντίτιμο σιωπής

Πες μας τι θα γίνει αν κάποτε θ’ αγγίξεις το κορμί σου
και το βρεις τσακισμένο απ’ τις πληγές
Και γύρω σου κούκλες χλωμές ανίκανες ν’ ακούσουν τη φωνή σου
κι οι αλήθειες σου να σέρνονται στο πάτωμα γυμνές

 

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach to you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the walls of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
And the words that it was forming

And the sign said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

 

We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up

How unfair, it's just our love
Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world
Would you dare to let it go?

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

It's not about not about angels, angels
