Κ​α​ι Τι Δ​ε​ν Ε​ί​σ​α​ι Ε​σ​ύ Γ​ι​α Μ​έ​ν​α (And What Aren't You To Me​?​)

about

This we only had bits of information about here and there and we don't actually know if this is even the right song, because so many songs have the same titles and sometimes same composers or lyricists, but it feels like this might be right. This song was later recorded by the Kalouta Sisters, who were a well-known duo at the time. You can hear that version here: youtu.be/QjlUufVQ5NM

lyrics

Στα όνειρά μου είσαι λουλούδι
Θεία στην σκέψη μου μορφή
Και στην καρδιά μου το τραγούδι
Με την πιο όμορφη στροφή

Είσαι ο ήλιος μες στους δρόμους
Τη συννεφιά και τη βροχή
Είσαι το τέλος κάθε πόνου
Και της χαράς μου η αρχή

Και τι δεν είσαι για μένα
Γλυκιά μου, αγάπη εσύ
Το γέλιο του κόσμου
τα πλούτη του κόσμου
Το αγνό της νιότης κρασί

Τα πάντα βρήκα σε ‘σένα
Με μία στοργή περισσή
Και τι δεν είσαι για μένα
Γλυκιά μου αγάπη εσύ

Και τι δεν είσαι για μένα
Γλυκιά μου, αγάπη εσύ
Το γέλιο του κόσμου
τα πλούτη του κόσμου
Το αγνό της νιότης κρασί

Τα πάντα βρήκα σε ‘σένα
Με μία στοργή περισσή
Και τι δεν είσαι για μένα
Γλυκιά μου αγάπη εσύ

Translation:

Either as a flower in my dreams
Or as a godly figure in my thoughts
A song that plays in my heart
With the most beautiful verse

You’re the sun in the streets
You’re the clouds and the rain
You’re the end of every pain
And every joy’s beginning

And what aren’t you to me?
My sweet, my love
You’re the laughter of the world and the riches of the world
The pure wine of youth

I found everything in you
With abundant affection
And what aren’t you to me
My sweet love

And what aren’t you to me?
My sweet, my love
You’re the laughter of the world and the wealth of the world
The pure wine of youth

I found everything in you
With abundant affection
And what aren’t you to me
My sweet love
