HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY HAMILTON
February 11th
Dearest friend on your special day I can only wish you
to be for ever young in your heart and always healthy.
Happy Birthday, sweetheart.
May I wish you this for all your years,
While we share a life together,
Through laughter and through tears.
Today you're another year older.
The years go by so fast.
We knew from the very first moment we met
That our true love we found would last.
So as I share this day with you,
Let's vow we'll never part.
You've given me strength and courage,
And I've given you my heart.
I have prepared a nice Tango for you. We will make our friends a bit jealous because I ask first and I will have the first dance.
Tango EVORA (Better known as Tango of Nephele)
LYRICS GREEK and English
ΤΟ TANGO ΤΗΣ ΝΕΦΕΛΗΣ
Music: Loreena McKennitt, Ireland
Verse and Song: Charis Alexiou, Greece
Το χρυσό κουρέλι, που στα μαλλιά της, φόραγε η Νεφέλη
να ξεχωρίζει απ΄ όλους μες στ΄ αμπέλι, ήρθανε δυο μικροί- μικροί αγγέλοι
και το κλέψανε
Δυο μικροί αγγέλοι, που στα όνειρα τους, ’θελαν τη Νεφέλη
να την ταΐζουνε ρόδι και μέλι, να μην θυμάται, να ξεχνάει τι θέλει,
την πλανέψανε
Υάκινθοι και κρίνα, της κλέψαν τ΄ άρωμα και το φοράνε
κι οι έρωτες πετώντας σαϊτιές, την περιγελούν
Μα ο καλός ο Δίας, της παίρνει το νερό της εφηβείας
την κάνει σύννεφο και την σκορπά, για να μην την βρουν.
The golden ribbons
In Nefeli's hair she wore
To stand out from the others in the vineyard.
Along came two boy angels
They stole them from her.
The two boy angels Dreamt of feeding Nefeli with pomegranates and honey to cloud her memory, to forget what she wants.They tempted her away.
Her perfume of Hyacinths and lilies. They stole and wore it themselves.
The gods of love fired arrows, They bewildered her.
But the kindly God Zeus takes from her the water of youth
He turns her to cloud and scatters her around so they cannot find her.
