COME CLOSER TO ME

COME CLOSER TO ME
Trelos ya sena

COME CLOSER, LOVE YOU TRUE,
Ella Konda mou na sou po,
MAY I HUG YOU,
Na s’angalyaso an boro,
I DANCED WITH YOU LAST NIGHT,
Ma ze sou horepsa egthes,
FOR ME YOU SEEMED SO RIGHT,
Agapi mou apo pou erthes?

COME CLOSER FOR IT IS MY AIM,
Ella Konda, na sou po,
TO TELL MY SECRET, THIS NO GAME,
To mistiko mou ella tho,
TO STAY WITH ME I ASK,      
Thellou na zesume mazi.
ENJOY OUR YOUTH AND IN IT BASK.
Me tin igia mas ke krasi

WE WILL LOVE, KISS AND SIP FROM WINE,
Sta hili sou ena fili, se agapo toso poli,
AND WHILST WE DINE,
Ke an to potiri me krasi
IF A GLASS MAY FALL, BREAK AND SPILL,
Pote hethee,
LET IT BE ON ME, IF IT WILL.
Na eme ego,ke ohi esee.

TOLD YOU THE SECRET TO MY HEART,
Goritsi mou, kseris ese to mystiko,
YOU WERE MY LOVE FROM THE START,
Apteen arhee esoona esee,
YOU KNOW I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU, SO
Yati horis esena then boro,
FOREVER YOU’RE MY GAL AND ME YOUR BEAU.	
Eeme trelos ya sena mono esena agapo.

What a stunning love song, dear friend. I am so happy I found it. I love the way you incorporated the Greek and English. I would love to hear you recite this poem. Somehow it wouldn’t feel like Easter without sending you blessings for Easter joy - by the pool! Blessings, dear friend.

First, I'm so glad you posted, thought I'd lost you after just finding you. Life business/pleasure must have just kept you away for a bit. I need to write you a message sometime soon. I really enjoyed this, tried reading in Greek which I probably butchered. Are you fluent? Right now, I can't recall any memory of the Greek accent. What means NB? Love ... CayCay
