lyrics

- To Arms / Στα Όπλα -

(Απόσπασμα από "ΣΥΜΦΩΝΙΑ ΑΡ.1" (1957) - Τάσος Λειβαδίτης)

Κανένας. Ερημιά.

Μονάχα στους τοίχους τον ερημωμένων δρόμων τα σημάδια απ’ τις παλιές μας σφαίρες, κοιτάζουνε την πόλη σκοτεινά.

Σαν τα πικρα τρομαγμένα μάτια ενός αδελφού που τον προδώσανε.

Στα όπλα… Στα όπλα.

Εμείς τελειώσαμε. Δεν έχει δάκρυα πια. Κλαίνε όσοι στο βάθος ακόμα ελπίζουν. Ούτε θάνατο.

Οι νικημένοι δεν μπορούν να πεθάνουν. Σαν ένα μαχαίρι που ανοίγει ένα σφηνωμένο φέρετρο, η απελπισία κρατάει τα μάτια τους ανοιχτά.

Στα όπλα...

Κι όμως, θυμήσου, είχαμε κάποτε όνειρα – σημαίες στους δρόμους,

βήματα, ζητωκραυγές

τα χέρια μας σχεδίαζαν στον ορίζοντα τις αυριανές μεγάλες πολιτείες.

Και τραγουδούσαμε ολοι μαζι
κι ελπίζαμε όλοι μαζί
και πέφταμε όλοι μαζί.

Κοιμήσου, δεν ειναι τιποτα.

LYRICS

Past stormings of heaven;
A Descendance to Hades
In the fields of ruination;
[we] buried our redemption.

We. tοοκ up arms.
We stοοd like giants.
We. Halted the world.
We. Priced & Sold

-- Translation ---

(EXCERPT: AGREEMENT N.1 (1957) - Tasos Leivaditis)

No one. Desolation.
Only on the walls of the crumbling
streets the marks of our old bullets
stare at the town with a murky eye. Like
the scared eyes of a betrayed brother.

To arms; to arms.

We are finished. No more tears.
Those who cry are those who still
hope, in the end. No death either. The
defeated cannot die. Like a knife that
opens a jammed coffin, despair keeps
their eyes wide open. To arms.
Yet remember. We once had
dreams – Flags in the streets, steps,
cheers.

Our hands planned on the horizon the great polities of tomorrow.
And we were singing; together. And
we were hoping; together. And we
were falling; together
