Kostas Makedonas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ένα δειλινό ένα δειλινό
Ένα δειλινό σε δέσαν στο σταυρό
Σου κάρφωσαν τα χέρια σου μου κάρφωσαν τα σπλάχνα
Σου δέσανε τα μάτια σου ω ω μου δέσαν την ψυχή μου

Ένα δειλινό ένα δειλινό
Ένα δειλινό με τσάκισαν στα δυο
Μου κλέψανε την όραση μου πήραν την αφή μου

Μόν' μου 'μεινε η ακοή ω ω να σ' αγρικώ παιδί μου

Ένα δειλινό ένα δειλινό
Ένα δειλινό σαν τον σταυραετό

Χίμηξε πα στισ θάλασσεσ χίμηξε πα στουσ κάμπουσ
Κάνε ν' ανθίσουν τα βουνά ω ω και να χαρούν οι ανθρώποι

Overall Meaning

These lyrics describe a tragic event that happened at dawn. The singer begins by saying that one early morning, someone crucified or nailed you to the cross. This could be interpreted symbolically as a betrayal or a deep emotional pain. The imagery of having your hands and insides nailed, along with having your eyes and soul bound, suggests intense suffering and a feeling of being trapped or imprisoned.

In the next verse, the singer continues to describe what happened at dawn. This time, they say that they were torn in two or deeply hurt. Their vision was stolen or taken away, leaving them blind, and their sense of touch or feeling was also taken from them. The only thing that remained was their sense of hearing, which they use to call out to their loved one, with the hope of somehow reaching and connecting with them.

Finally, in the last verse, the singer compares this tragic event to a soaring eagle or kite, which implies a feeling of freedom and independence. They use the imagery of the eagle flying over the seas and the fields, urging it to make the mountains bloom and bring joy to the people. This could be interpreted as a plea for healing and restoration, a desire for a new beginning or a transformation after the pain and suffering described in the previous verses. The singer longs to see happiness and beauty restored to the world.
