To S’agapo – Michalis Hatzigiannis
Posted on 25. Jul, 2009 in Greek Songs
Michalis Hatzigiannis sings To S’agapo, a Greek song which in English means “The I Love You”, a love song about people who are afraid of these three words…
When all rainbows turn dark, then we see what it was all about – we look back with no fear and no hope because we don’t have what to lose anymore. Maybe we were just very young “for such enigmas” and maybe love is an ultimate enigma even when we think we walked many roads. It hurts anyway, but it hurts differently when we open for the first time and let the heart soar with no boundaries. When we hit the ground, the world collapses with us.
“For years I’ve been trying, what for years you’re avoiding the ‘I love you’, the ‘I love you’”. How hard is that to face, and even harder to accept? What you have been doing all those years? And now when you know that everything was in vain, that your love was to be avoided, to be entangled in the trammel, you know that is better to let it go. Otherwise you can bond to your failure, to a memory of your own previous self, the one that loved, hoped, loved. Now you know nad have not much to say but: “ Maybe you were right to resist, both to ‘I love you’ and to me.

To S’Agapo – English Lyrics
I was very young for such enigmas
but i answered them baby
i did with you so many ‘openings’
now I’ve closed up inside.
i threw you the nets but you didn’t get caught,
you know how to get away from the subject,
maybe you were right to beware
from the ‘i love you’ and from me.
It is dangerous here,
so it’s better that you’re leaving,
for years I’ve been trying, what for years you’re avoiding ,
and if you stay more I’ll bond, so it’s better that you’re leaving,
for years I’ve been trying, what for years you’re avoiding ,
the ‘I love you’, the ‘I love you’.
I gave you everything but you stack,
to all the things that you’re holding hidden,
maybe you were right to resist,
both to ‘i love you’ and to me.
It is dangerous here,
so it’s better that you’re leaving,
for years i’ve been trying, what for years you’re avoiding ,
and if you stay more i’ll bond, so it’s better that you’re leaving,
for years i’ve been trying, what for years you’re avoiding ,
the ‘I love you’, the ‘I love you’.
To S’agapo – Greek Lyrics
Το Σ’αγαπώ – Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης – Ελληνικοί Στίχοι
Ήμουνα μικρός για τόσα αινίγματα,
και όμως τα απάντησα μωρό μου,
έκανα με σένα τόσα ανοίγματα,
τώρα έχω κλειστεί στον εαυτό μου.
Σου ριξα τα δίχτυα μα δεν πιάστηκες,
Ξέρεις να ξεφεύγεις απ’ το θέμα,
Ίσως έχεις δίκιο που φυλάχτηκες,
Απ’ το σ’ αγαπώ και από μένα.
Είναι επικίνδυνα εδώ,
Γι’ αυτό καλύτερα που φεύγεις,
Χρόνια προσπαθώ, αυτό που χρόνια αποφεύγεις,
Κι άλλο αν μείνεις θα δεθώ, γι’ αυτό καλύτερα που φεύγεις,
Χρόνια προσπαθώ, αυτό που χρόνια αποφεύγεις,
Το σ’ αγαπώ, το σ’ αγαπώ.
Σου δωσα τα πάντα κι όμως στάθηκες,
Σ’ όλα αυτά που μου κρατάς κρυμμένα,
Ίσως έχεις δίκιο που αντιστάθηκες,
Και στο σ’ αγαπώ, μα και σε μένα.
Είναι επικίνδυνα εδώ,
Γι’ αυτό καλύτερα που φεύγεις,
Χρόνια προσπαθώ, αυτό που χρόνια αποφεύγεις,
Κι άλλο μείνεις θα δεθώ, γι’ αυτό καλύτερα που φεύγεις,
Χρόνια προσπαθώ, αυτό που χρόνια αποφεύγεις,
Το σ’ αγαπώ, το σ’ αγαπώ.
