επισκέπτης

Σκέφτομαι ότι η χώρα που γυρνάω τόσα χρόνια
δεν υπάρχει σε κανένα χάρτη
ποιος είναι ο Εξορκιστής, η ρόδα της ζωής
το τρένο τι ώρα θα 'ρθει.
(Παύλος Παυλίδης, "Δεν έχει τέλος")

βάδισμα

Living in steps
till I can rest
living in steps
till I'm blessed by you
(...)
I and I alone
I will wash your feet
and dry them with my hair
I will give to you
every other tear
thy breath thy spear
thy season of mirth
seven steps
until I can rest
seven steps
til I am blessed by you
all I ever wanted
I wanted I wanted
all I ever wanted
I wanted for you.
(Patti Smith, "Fireflies")

συζήτηση

Aφού δε θέλει κι ο Θεός να ναι ο κόσμος σκοτεινός
δεν θέλει πίστη απόλυτη ούτε βενζίνη αμόλυβδη
Θέλει κρασί και προσοχή, δεν θέλει μαρς και προσευχή
πίνει απ το ποτήρι μας, γελάει για χατήρι μας.
(Σωκράτης Μάλαμας, "Ο Θεός")

ψαράς

I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin on the seas
Far away from dry land
And its bitter memories
Casting out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
(The Waterboys, "Fisherman's Blues", 1988)

ίχνη στη θάλασσα

there's no trail at all,only grass growing tall,
get out my machette and battle with time once again
(Jack Johnson, "Home")

πόρτες

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
(Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here", 1975)

λιμάνι

So lead me to the harbour
And float me on the waves
Sink me in the ocean
To sleep in a sailors grave
To sleep in a sailors grave
(Moby, "Harbour")

στωικότητα

I'm walkin' through streets that are dead
Walkin', walkin' with you in my head
My feet are so tired
My brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping.
(Bob Dylan, "Love Sick", 1997)

σκαλωσιές

I am a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
(Paul Simon, "I Am a Rock", 1965)

φορτίο

Dear landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul
My burden is heavy
My dreams are beyond control
When that steamboat whistle blows
I'm gonna give you all I got to give
And I do hope you receive it well
Depending on the way you feel that you live.
(Bob Dylan, "Dear Landlord", 1968)

εν πλω ΙΙΙ

σαν άδειο κάθισμα ταξίδεψα για χρόνια
ψάχνοντας να βρω το κατάλληλο κορμί
(Ισαάκ Σούσης, "Νοτος")

φως

time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
(Pink Floyd, "Time", 1973)

shelter

Oh, a storm is threatning
My very life today
If I dont get some shelter
Oh yeah, Im gonna fade away
(The Rolling Stones, "Gimme Shelter", 1969)

εν πλω ΙΙ

εν πλω

all over now (αρχή και τέλος)

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
(Bob Dylan, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", 1965)
