Avgoustos – Nikos Papazoglou

Posted on 11. Oct, 2009 in Greek Songs

Nikos Papazoglou sings Avgoustos, a Greek song which means August; it’s probably one of these songs that get us every single time we hear it, on the radio, at a cafe, in a concert, online, anywhere. It’s a love song, a tender and very affectionate song reflecting true love, the love that doesn’t stop at any barriers and obstacles. This song is a small diamond of the Greek Music…

It is weird, but we all get to a point that we love someone but have no voice to say it; as if it’s wrong, bad, humiliating. Nevertheless, we feel trapped in our own feelings, which pulse and press us always. “I will go even if it is for the bad”; this phrase is the verse that stays in our hearts from this song, as the saying and confirmation of love that cannot be denied and has to fight for its existence. When you feel something about someone, you owe it to yourself -first of all – to explore it and let it live. Feelings are to be respected, because they are tender and warm, despite everything, even if the way seems pathless at first. The truth is though that if you don’t let something live, you can never know what you have missed, what dream you have betrayed. Let it be always like this – going… even if it is for the bad…

Avgoustos – Nikos Papazoglou

Why does the song always have to be sad
like it fell right off my heart
and at this very moment, that I am full of joy
It climbed up to my lips
and smothered me
Beware the end, you will tell me
I love you, but I have no voice to tell you,
and this is an unbearable pain
I melt in pain, because Ialso feel
that the way we are going is pathless,
and you will tell me to hold it till the end

How can I forget her loose hair
the sand, that was showering me, like a waterfall,
as she was getting close to me, thousands of kisses,
diamonds that she was generously giving to me,
I ‘ll go, even if it ’s for the bad

On what kind of ecstasy, on what kind of magic dance,
such a creature was born (or conceived)
from which distant star the light is coming,
that went to hide in her eyes,
and I am the lucky one who saw it

In her sight a tiny little sky
lightens, clouds, and folds,
but when the night comes, it overflows with light
the August moon rises
and the prison shines from the inside.

How can I forget her loose hair
the sand, that was showering me, like a waterfall,
as she was getting close to me, thousands of kisses,
diamonds, she was generously giving to me,
I ‘ll go, even if it ’s for the bad
