Μαντινάδες του Αριστείδη Χαιρέτη (Γιαλαύτη)

Πέτε μου έναν άθρωπο να τά’χει λύσει όλα
πάντως εγώ δεν τά ‘λυσα μα δε με νοιάζει κι’όλα

Μικιό παιδί ο έρωτας με κάνει κάθε τόσο
και θα μισέψω απ’τη ζωή χωρίς να μεγαλώσω

Άμα θα πάψει ο άθρωπος αγάπες πιά να κάνει
μπορεί να είναι άθαφτος μα έχει πιά ‘ποθάνει

Traduction en Francais
Paroles de Aristidis Heretis dit Yalaftis

Montrez moi quelqu’un qui a tout résolu
Montrez moi un père qui a tout résolu
Montrez moi une mere qui a tout résolu
Montrez moi une relation qui a tout résolu
Montrez moi quelqu’un enfin qui a tout résolu

en tout cas moi je ne les ai pas mais je ne me prends pas la tete non plus

Petit enfant l’ amour me rend a chaque fois
et je vais périr de cette vie sans grandir

Quand l’homme cesse de faire des amours
Et si tu as cesse écoute moi bien
peut bien ne pas être enterré mais il est mort quand mème.
Il peut manger il peut marcher mais il est mort quand mème.
il peut aller a son boulot mais il est mort quand mème.
il peut t’embrasser comme avant mais il est mort quand mème.

Lyrics by Aristidis Hairetis ( Yalaftis )

Show me someone who has solved everything

Show me a father who has solved everything
Show me a mother who has solved everything
Show me a relation who has solved everything
Show me anyone at the end who has solved everything

Me anyhow i did n’t
but in the other hand i don’t make a big deal about it

Love turns me into a little boy each time
And i will perish of this life without getting old

When a human stops loving
it can be unburied but still he is dead
he can eat he can walk but still he is dead
he can go to his work but still he is dead
he can hug you as the old days but still he is dead
