SAN ELEKTRA


Vangelis And Maria Farantouri



Once upon a time it was
that the moon started singing
into the water

A ballad from the south
A hymn in the fire
A secret word:
I love you

I love you,
you don't love me
You're floating in another heaven
It's a shame
that I am suffering now
and will live like a witch
Sometimes in the night,
sometimes in the light
With two dark birds in the hair


Oh, my memory,
how you can hurt me

When you pass through
empty nights
the bed empty
our bedding near
lonely beach
An absolute white
in the emptiness

Once upon a time it was
In a rainy place
Like Elektra who suffers
And climbed the mountain
alone
In the midst of the
night,
just to tell you:
Love is the light
I love you!
