lyrics

Είναι η πόλη φάντασμα, ειναι έρημοι οι δρόμοι
Σωροί σκουπίδια φράζουνε τα πεζοδρόμια
Εδώ κανείς δεν περπατα, κάνουμε βόλτες μόνοι
Το χέρι κράτα μου σφιχτά, να διώξεις τα δαιμόνια

Οι λεωφόροι αδειανές, οι στοές οχι και τόσο
Αστεγοι ξαποσταίνουνε σε χάρτινα κουτιά
Και οι πορνες απηυδίσανε, το δίνουν όσο όσο
Το κουρασμένο τους κορμι, που φέραν απο μακριά

Είναι η πολη φάντασμα μα εγώ δε τη φοβάμαι
Οσο σε έχω πλάι μου, αστεία να μου λες
Εσύ τις διώχνεις τις σκιές τα βράδυα οταν κοιμάμαι
Το αύριο δε σκέφτομαι, το έσβησα το χτες.

Είναι η πόλη φάντασμα, μα που´ναι οι μεθυσμένοι
Οι σερβιτόροι μες´ τα μπαρ κοιτάζουν το κενό
Ειναι εικοσάρηδες μα μοιάζουν γερασμένοι
Ειν΄αραγε αδιέξοδο ετούτο το στενό;

Είναι η νύχτα σιωπηλή, το φώτα ειναι σβησμένα
Κι έπιασε αέρας δυνατός, σα σκύλος αλυχτά
Και στο Μουσείο οι σκιές, φρικτά, απεγνωσμένα
Καρτερικά προσμένουνε μια δόση λησμονιά

Είναι η πολη φάντασμα μα εγώ δε τη φοβάμαι
Οσο σε έχω πλάι μου, αστεία να μου λες
Εσύ τις διώχνεις τις σκιές τα βράδυα οταν κοιμάμαι
Το αύριο δε σκέφτομαι, το έσβησα το χτες.

Ειναι η πόλη φαντασμα και σέρνει αλυσίδες
Παλιούς καιρούς θυμάται και με πίκρα ξεφυσά
Μα ακόμα δε χάθηκαν ολες τις οι ελπίδες
Ακομα και τα βασανα δεν ειν´ παντοτινά

Στο λόφο ανεβαινουμε, μεσα απ´τα σοκάκια
Εχει μου λεει, πανσέληνο, ορίστε που ανατέλλει
Μοσχοβολάει βασιλικο, και να και δυο γατάκια
Του δίνω ρουφηχτό φιλί και άλλο που δε θέλει!

Είναι η πολη φάντασμα μα εγώ δε τη φοβάμαι
Οσο σε έχω πλάι μου, αστεία να μου λες
Εσύ τις διώχνεις τις σκιές τα βράδυα οταν κοιμάμαι
Το αύριο δε σκέφτομαι, το έσβησα το χτες
Το έσβησα το χτες.



GHOST TOWN (I POLI PHANTASMA)

The town is a ghost town, the streets are desolate
Piles of trash block the pavements
Nobody walks around here, we promenade alone
Hold my hand tight to chase away the demons

The avenues are empty but the arcades are not
Homeless people rest in paper boxes
And the prostitutes have given up, they sell on discount
Their tired body, brought from somewhere far

The town is ghost town but I am not afraid of her
While I have you by my side, telling me jokes
You chase away the shadows in the night, while I´m asleep
I don´t think about tomorrow, I erased yesterday

The town is a ghost town, but where are the drunks
The waiters inside the bars stare at the void
They are in their twenties but look aged
Is this a dead-end street?

The night is silent, the lights are out
And a strong wind is blowing, howling like a dog
The shadows at the Museum, horribly, desperately
Patiently wait for a dose of oblivion

The town is ghost town but I am not afraid of her
While I have you by my side, telling me jokes
You chase away the shadows in the night, while I´m asleep
I don´t think about tomorrow, I erased yesterday

The town is a ghost town and drags chains
Remembers better days and sighs bitterly
But all hope is not gone
Even suffering isn´t forever

We are gong up the hill through the narrow alleys
You says that tonight there´s a full moon, here it is, rising
It smells of basil and and look at those two kitties
I am giving him a french kiss, much to his delight

The town is ghost town but I am not afraid of her
While I have you by my side, telling me jokes
You chase away the shadows in the night, while I´m asleep
I don´t think about tomorrow, I erased yesterday
I erased yesterday.

about

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
