Notis Sfakianakis ( Νότης Σφακιανάκης )Genethlia

Sta monopatia tou kaimou
Sti gefira tou stenagmou
M’ ekan’ i mana mou
Mia fthinoporini vradia
Zoi tin kria sou kardia
Idan ta matia mou
Me koudounistres plastikes
Omorfes kai hromatistes
Me nanourizane
Kai ta matakia ta mikra
Idan tou kosmou t’ agatha
Kai sinfonisane
Itan to gala mou pikro
Kai to neraki mou glifo
Pou me megalone
Ki apenanti stin kounia mou
I mira i kakourga mou
Kai me kamarone
Itan to klama mou mounto
San kati na ‘thela na po
Ma de me niosane
Mia lipimeni anapnoi
Gia tin poutana ti zoi
Pou mou hreosane
Etsi ksekinisa lipon, etsi ksekinisa
Den me rotisane zoi, ma se sinithisa
San pligomeno aetopoulo sto homa
Psahno ti dinami na kratitho akoma
Etsi ksekinisa lipon, etsi ksekinisa
Alla mou diksane kai alla ego antikrisa
Thee mou ki as iksera pia mera tha pethano
Kai tou thanotou mou genethlia na kano
Pano se laspes kai karfia
St’ adikou kosmou ti fotia protoperpatisa
Isorropia statheri
Gia na prolavo ti zoi
Omos tin patisa
Mono to “a” kai to “h”
Sti sxoliki mou epohi
Protosillavisa
Gi’ afto to “ah” kai to “giati”
Opou vretho m’ akolouthi
Ki as triantarisa
Etsi pernouse o keros
Kai ‘go sto dromo mou skiftos
Ekana onira
Etihe na ‘me ap’ aftous
Pou kolimpane stous afrous
Kai sta lasponera
Stazi to ema tis psihis
San tis stagones tis vrohis
Omos pios niazete
Kai tin aorati pligi
Pou mesa mou emoragi
Pios tin moirazete
Etsi ksekinisa lipon, etsi ksekinisa
Den me rotisane zoi, ma se sinithisa
San pligomeno aetopoulo sto homa
Psahno ti dinami na kratitho akoma
Etsi ksekinisa lipon, etsi ksekinisa
Alla mou diksane kai alla ego antikrisa
Thee mou ki as iksera pia mera tha pethano
Kai tou thanotou mou genethlia na kano
