Το μεθυσμένο κορίτσι
Mario Frangoulis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Το κορίτσι μου βουλιάζει
Το σκεπάζει τ' αναφιλητό
Χύθηκαν τα ξεροβόρια
Σπάν' τα ζάρια τρία αγόρια
Το κορίτσι κλαίει σαν το χριστό
Μεθάει κι ανοίγει μια τρελή πηγή
Το στόμα γίνεται πληγή
Έχει το μίσοσ φτιάξει φυλαχτό
Παίζει στο θάνατο κρυφτό
Έχει στα μαλλιά κορδέλεσ
Στο κορμί τησ χίλιεσ βδέλλεσ
Και στο πλάι το χάροντα σκυφτό
Απ' τα μάτια τησ δυο στάλεσ
Κι απ' τα χέρια πέφτουν κι άλλεσ
Ο καημόσ χτυπάει σαν κεραυνόσ
Ποιοσ τησ έδωσε μαχαίρι
Ποιοσ αγέρασ θα τη φέρει
Για ν' αστράψει ο μαύροσ ουρανόσ
Με το μαχαίρι κόβει τη σιωπή
Κι είναι σαν πέτρα σκυθρωπή
Μπλέκει τα χέρια κάνει προσευχή
Ποιοσ θα τησ δώσει μιαν ευχή;
Μεσ στο κρύο μεσ στ' αγιάζι
Το κορίτσι μου τρομάζει
Πεθαμένο τρέχει στη βροχή
In the lyrics of Mario Frangoulis's song "Το μεθυσμένο κορίτσι" ("The drunken girl"), the singer paints a vivid and intense picture of a troubled and intoxicated young woman. The imagery and emotions conveyed in these verses are complex and poignant, delving into themes of despair, pain, and inner turmoil.
The first stanza sets the scene in a cold and eerie atmosphere, with the girl sinking into oblivion, surrounded by darkness. The imagery of dice being thrown and the girl crying like Christ evoke a sense of helplessness and desperation. The girl is consumed by drunkenness and a wild, uncontrollable source within her is unleashed, causing her mouth to become a wound, symbolizing deep emotional pain and inner conflict.
The second stanza continues to depict the girl's suffering, describing her adorned with ribbons in her hair, her body marked with a thousand horrors, and the presence of death lurking by her side. Tears fall from her eyes and hands as her sorrow strikes like lightning. The imagery of the girl being marked by death and surrounded by misery and suffering further intensifies the somber and desolate mood of the song.
The third stanza delves deeper into the girl's state of despair, questioning who has brought her this pain and who will bring her relief. The mention of a knife cutting through silence and the girl praying in desperation suggest a sense of hopelessness and a plea for salvation. The girl's anguished plea for a blessing or a sign of hope reflects her longing for redemption and forgiveness in the face of her struggles and suffering.
The final stanza brings the narrative full circle, portraying the girl in a state of fear and running in the rain, symbolizing her attempt to escape her inner turmoil and grief. The repetition of the cold and ominous setting underscores the girl's sense of isolation and vulnerability, as she navigates through a world fraught with darkness and uncertainty. The haunting and hauntingly beautiful imagery in these lyrics captures the depths of the girl's pain and struggles, painting a poignant portrait of a soul in turmoil and seeking solace amidst adversity and despair.
