ΕΝΑ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΔΥΟ ΦΟΡΕΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΟΝ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗ



Αφιερώνεται στον γιό μου Δημήτρη για την αποφοίτησή του από το Λύκειο

ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΑ Η MARY HOPKIN


THOSE WERE THE DAYS


Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we chose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance Id see you in the tavern
Wed smile at one another and wed say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we chose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we chose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Το αυθεντικό ρωσσικό κομμάτι:
Дорогой длинною

ΜΕ ΤΗΝ Анна Шибкова ΚΑΙ ΤΟΝ Михаил Оленченко


Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
А вдали мелькали огоньки.
Мне б мне, соколики, за Вами,
Душу бы развеять от тоски.

Дорогой длинною, да ночью лунною,
Да с песней той, что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною с той семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучала меня...

Так живя без радости, без муки,
Помню я ушедшие года,
И твои серебряные руки
В тройке, улетевшей навсегда...

Да, выходит, пели мы за даром
Понапрасну ночь за ночью жгли
Если б мы покончили со старым
Так и ночи эти отошли

Дни бегут, печали умножая,
Мне так трудно прошлое забыть.
Как-нибудь однажды, дорогая,
Вы меня свезете хоронить.

В даль родную новыми путями
Нам отныне ехать суждено
Ехали на тройке с бубенцами
Да теперь проехали давно

    SCHOOL`S OUT
    by Alice Cooper

    Well we got no choice
    All the girls and boys
    Makin' all that noise
    'Cause they found new toys
    Well we can't salute ya
    Can't find a flag
    If that don't suit ya
    That's a drag

    School's out for summer
    School's out forever
    School's been blown to pieces

    No more pencils
    No more books
    No more teacher's dirty looks

    Well we got no class
    And we got no principles (principals)
    We ain't got no innocence
    We can't even think of a word that rhymes

    School's out for summer
    School's out forever
    My school's been blown to pieces

    No more pencils
    No more books
    No more teacher's dirty looks

    Out for summer
    Out 'til fall
    We might not come back at all

    School's out forever
    School's out for summer
    School's out with fever
    School's out completely

  2. Δεν είμαι «σύντροφος». Προφανώς με μπερδεύετε με τον αείμνηστο παππού μου, για τον οποίο, δυστυχώς, δεν έχετε ακόμη συνθέσει σονέτο!

  3. @ gus hall: Καλημέρα, γκασπαντίν. Ο αείμνηστος παππούς σας δεν πρόκειται να λάβει σονέττο, διότι (μάλλον) μας τελείωσαν τα σονέττα. Ενδεχομένως θα λάβει ένα τάνγκο, εν καιρω τω δέοντι. Την καλημέρα μου, και πάλι.
