Keravnos ki Astrapi – Pantelis Thalassinos
Posted on 10. Jul, 2009 in Greek Songs
Pantelis Thalassinos sings Keravnos ki Astrapi, a Greek song which means in English “Thunder and Lighting”.
When all hopes faded except that last one, the one that neither heart nor mind know how to call, here it comes “Keraunos ki astrapi”. This melancholic song with lyrics that easily torment any soul that ever learned that love itself has its impossibilities is a personal rebel, a curse against everything and anything that could have come between two people. “Whose hand spilled ink.., which compass’ black needle…, which of the planet…”
When we know we were not to part with that other person, we meant to be together, but “like thunder and lighting”, “like a snake, a scorpion, a dagger” came that moment when everything went into pieces. All dreams, all hopes! Nothing else is left but to curse some forces and hope for angels.

Keraunos ki Astrapi- English Lyrics
Tell me, whose hand spilled ink
Over the scroll of our destiny
Wiping away the port and course, the beacons and shore?
Which compass’ black needle
Will ever point to hope,
over the expectation of an unknown land?
Like thunder and lightning
In the very heart of an unsuspected summer
Came that cursed moment
Like a snake, a scorpion, a dagger
It rushed in my heart to pour out its venom
Thunders and lightning
Our lives long for a miracle
For an angel to proclaim happiness and to avenge
To join those parted once more
Tell me, which of the planets is it, that like a dark magnet
rules over our lives, setting them off orbit
and steals away our dreams stealthily?
Tell me, which whirlpool has swallowed our stern?
To which gloomy rocks is it dragging us… right into fate ’s nets?
