Xanavrethikame (Nos Volvimos a Encontrar)

by Evripidis and his Tragedies

/

about

Xanavrethikame is the greek version of Nos Volvimos a Encontrar, a haunting song about an encounter with a ghost. Based on a dream where the narrator reunites with a late loved one in the back seat of a car, it is built around a repetitive rhythm, swirling, atmospheric synths and ethereal female backing vocals that lead the listener into a trance-like state of mind of Lynchian proportions, equally sinister and tender, sad and sexy.
It is sung asd a duet with greek musician Nalyssa Green and it is produced by Sergio Pérez of SVPER.

lyrics

ΞΑΝΑΒΡΕΘΗΚΑΜΕ
Εχτές αργά, στο πίσω κάθισμα ξανά
Βρεθήκαμε και οι δυο 
H σκιά, το σκοτάδι
βελούδο απαλό και χάδι 
Λύνουν τον κόμπο στο λαιμό
 
Εχτές αργά στο πίσω κάθισμα ξανά 
Βρεθήκαμε και οι δυο 
Γελάσαμε, τα νέα σου μου είπες 
Στη ζωή μου ξαναμπήκες  
Μη φύγεις σε παρακαλώ  

Εσύ κι εγώ σ´αμαξι δίχως πορεία 
Με άγνωστο τον οδηγό 
Εσύ κι εγώ σ’ αμάξι δίχως πορεία 
Ατελείωτη είναι η νύχτα

Εχτές αργά, στο πίσω κάθισμα ξανά
Βρεθήκαμε και οι δυο 
Μου είπες πως είσαι μια χαρά
Μια μέρα θα μάθω τα μυστικά  
Του άλλου κόσμου, να μην ανησυχώ 

Κι ‘έπειτα χάθηκες
Ακόμη μια φορά 
Η μορφή σου, απατηλή οπτασία 
Πέταξε με τα αερικά 

Εσύ κι εγώ σ´αμάξι δίχως πορεία 
Με άγνωστο τον οδηγό 
Εσύ κι εγώ σ’ αμάξι δίχως πορεία

Εσύ κι εγώ σ’ αμάξι δίχως πορεία
Εσύ κι εγώ σ’ αμάξι δίχως πορεία


LYRICS IN ENGLISH

Last night, in the back seat of a car
We met up again
in the shadows, in the dark
The false sense of security
Holds back the tears

Last night, in the back seat of a car
We met up again
We laughed, we caught up
I’ll do whatever you tell me to do
Just don’t leave me on my own again

You and me, in a car, aimlessly
We don’t know who is on the wheel
You and me, in car, aimlessly
The night is infinite

Last night, in the back seat of a car
We met up again
You told me you are ok
That I should be patient
One day I will get to know, doubtlessly,
What science doesn’t explain

And right away
I lost you, once more
Your face, from pale turned to transparent
And started to fade away

You and me, in a car, aimlessly
We don’t know who is on the wheel
You and me, in car, aimlessly

You and me, in car, aimlessly
You and me, in car, aimlessly

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
