	Yassou!


	We are two computer science students at the University of
	Amsterdam (con)currently working in a team for a course in
	specification languages. The universal language of mankind is
	however: MUSIC, especially romatic lyrics.

	The non-greek part of this team has been to the island of
	Crete last summer. To compensate the lack of meaningful
	communication with the locals, he took as souvenir a recor-
	ding of "The Very Best of Haris Alexiou" home with him. 

	With the aid of the greek part of this duo a working transla-
	tion of one song of that compact disc is formulated as shown
	below. We hope you enjoy it, maybe even learn it with the aid
	of the album, and sing it to the koritsia, mavro mata, next
	summer in the moonlight on those endless beaches...


	With love,

	Antonios Thanos kai Liang Oei 





	VIMA VIMA


	Ola apopse miloun kai se parakaloun
	Na yiriseis fonazoun
	K'oti zisame xthes, san palies mousikes
	Niotho na m'angalizoun

	Ola apopse miloun yia palies mas stigmes
	Pou den lene na svisoun
	K'eyo pali, zito mustika kai filia
	Pou ta pires mazi sou

	Vima vima niotho pos tha yiriseis
	San to kuma na me nanouriseis
	Ma ta vradia, ola sto idio hroma
	Gkrizo panta kai den ilthes akoma

	Oi oraies stigmes na se niotho pantou
	Yiro na s'anasaino
	Pali na mou yelas yia zoi na milas
	Kai eyo na sopaino

	Oi oraies stigmes na se vlepo
	Xana st'adeio spiti na mbaineis
	Ki'otan tha me filas liya na mou zitas
	Kai polla na mou pairneis




	SLOWLY SLOWLY


	Today all I have spoken off and I have asked you
	I shouted you to come back
	And that we live yesterday, like the old melody
	Which I felt it embraced me

	Today all I have spoken off are the moments of old
	Where I fell queiet by petit mort
	And again I have asked for the mysterie
	And the kisses that you have stolen


	Slowly slowly I feel he is returning
	As a wavelet to rock me into deep sleep
	But this night, everything is of equal toning
	Grey are all things and he is not coming back


	The coziest of hours that I felt you all over
	Around in breathing in of you
	You laughed then at me, a lifetime you would talk
	And I was content in listening

	The coziest of hours that I watched you again
	In the empty house that you have entered
	Where you have kissed me a bit after my demand
	And a lot more of me you have taken


	Slowly slowly I feel he is returning
	As a wavelet to rock me into deep sleep
	But this night, everything is of equal toning
	Grey are all things and he is not coming back
