Following a free LLM interpretation of Seferis's "Στο περιγιάλι το κρυφό"

Verse 1:
In the hidden cove, so far away
White like a dove, we stayed
We thirsted at the peak of day
But the water, it turned us away

Chorus:
On golden sands, we wrote her name
The breeze blew soft, it played a game
Erasing lines, the sands of time
We chased a dream, now it’s a rhyme

(Musical break)

Verse 2:
With heart and breath, we took the ride
Desires deep, passion wide
We thought we knew, we took the leap
But life, it changed, no promises to keep

Chorus:
On golden sands, we wrote her name
The breeze blew soft, it played a game
Erasing lines, the sands of time
We chased a dream, now it’s a rhyme

Bridge:
With every step, with every sigh
We found the truth, we lived a lie
In our pursuit, we missed the mark
We changed our life, lit a spark

Chorus:
On golden sands, we wrote her name
The breeze blew soft, it played a game
Erasing lines, the sands of time
We chased a dream, now it’s a rhyme

Outro:
We took our life, we made it new
With heart and breath, we grew
In hidden coves, with salty sea
We found ourselves, we’re finally free...

The Hidden Cove

958 Αφιέρωμα Μάνος Χατζιδάκις 14 - 06 - 2024 (Ερρίκος Μαρια Αλέξανδρος)

Lyrics inspired by a Kostis Palamas (Greek) poem about the upcoming summer.

[Verse 1]
The world shines bright,
Like a star in the night,
Mountains and plains,
Trees and waters sing,
Summer's here again,
A time to celebrate,
God's joy is near.

[Chorus]
Voices of laughter,
Carried by the breeze,
Through fruitful vineyards,
Songs of angels' ease.
Children's voices ring,
In the summer's glow,
God's joy they bring.

[Verse 2]
At this hour of delight,
A hand scatters gifts,
Caresses and wealth,
Earth in purple drifts.
A flood of life flows,
As summer's light shows,
God's joy we know.

[Chorus]
Voices of laughter,
Carried by the breeze,
Through fruitful vineyards,
Songs of angels' ease.
Children's voices ring,
In the summer's glow,
God's joy they bring.

[Bridge]
Nature calls us near,
Young and old, come here,
Like a mother waits,
In her warm embrace.
All the world in bloom,
A garden full of grace,
In the summer's tune,
God's joy in this place.

[Outro]
The world shines bright,
Like a star in the night,
Summer's here again,
God's joy is near.

God's Joy

Lyrics inspired by the poem "If You Forget Me" by Pablo Neruda, the Chilean Literature Nobel Prize laureate. Adaptation with the help of Perplexity.

[Verse 1]
Crystal moon and autumn's red branch
Ash by the fire, log's wrinkled touch
Everything leads me to your shore
Little boats sailing to your door

[Chorus]
I want you to know, my love
As long as you're mine
Our hearts will entwine
I want you to know, my dear
Our love will endure
As long as you're sure

[Verse 2]
If you forget me, I'll forget too
If love fades slowly, I'll let it through
But if you're destined for me each day
In your arms forever, I'll want to stay

[Bridge]
Like flowers climbing to reach your lips
My roots will follow wherever you drift
All that fire in me repeats
As long as your heart with mine still beats

[Verse 3]
Nothing extinguished, nothing forgotten
My love feeds on yours, we're interwoven
In your arms, I'll remain my own
Our love alive, forever grown

[Chorus]
I want you to know, my love
As long as you're mine
Our hearts will entwine
I want you to know,
I want you to know, my dear
Our love will endure
As long as you're sure
I want you to know... 

[outro]
Yes, I want you to know, my love
Our hearts will entwine
As long as you stay mine...

(Electric guitars fadin' away)

I want you to know...

[verse 1]
Sunrise paints the sky in gold,
Summer’s warmth, new tales to be told.
Fields of green, flowers in bloom,
Nature’s song, a joyous tune.
 
[Chorus]
First day of summer, let the good times roll,
Feel the freedom, let sunshine touch your soul.
Laughter in the air, living in the now,
On the first day of summer, we’ll take a vow.
First, first day of summer...
First, first day of summer...

[Verse 2]
Barefoot on the sand, waves kiss our feet,
Days ahead, where joy and peace meet.
Picnics in the park, sweet ice cream,
Moments magic, like a dream.

[Chorus]
First day of summer, let the good times roll,
Feel the freedom, let sunshine touch your soul.
Laughter in the air, living in the now,
On the first day of summer, we’ll take a vow.
First, first day of summer...
First, first day of summer...

[Bridge]
Chase the sunset, stars in the sky,
Dance by moonlight, guitars nearby.
Memories made, laughter at night,
First day of summer, everything’s right.

[Chorus repeats]
First day of summer, let the good times roll,
Feel the freedom, let sunshine touch your soul.
Laughter in the air, living in the now,
On the first day of summer, we’ll take a vow.
First, first day of summer,

[Outro]
As day fades, stars gleam bright,
Hold the magic of summer night.
First day, special place,
Heart of summer, time leaves no trace.

First day of summer

[Verse 1]
Behind every smile of a tired dad,
Lies a slightly broken man,
Broken by the pressure of providing,
Doing everything he can.
Through the long nights and the endless days,
He keeps on pushing through the pain,
Broken by the stress of surviving,
Yet, he'd do it all again.

[Chorus]
Oh, Dad, I see you standing tall,
Even when you're about to fall,
Your strength, your love, they light the way,
For us to face another day.
Though you're broken, you're our hero still,
With a heart so big, with iron will,
You're the man we need, the man we love,
Our guiding star from up above.

[Verse 2]
Behind every laugh of a weary soul,
There's a story left untold,
Broken because he's striving daily,
In this world so harsh and cold.
He hides the tears and the silent fears,
To keep his family strong,
Through the highs and lows, he always shows,
In his arms, we all belong.
 
[Bridge]
Every sacrifice you make,
Every risk you choose to take,
We see the love in all you do,
And we're so proud to be with you.
Though the world may never know,
The silent battles that you fight,
You're the beacon in our night,
Our forever guiding light.

[Chorus]
Oh, Dad, I see you standing tall,
Even when you're about to fall,
Your strength, your love, they light the way,
For us to face another day.
Though you're broken, you're our hero still,
With a heart so big, with iron will,
You're the man we need, the man we love,
Our guiding star from up above.

[Outro]
Behind every smile of a tired dad,
Lies a slightly broken man,
But in our hearts, you'll always be,
The strongest man we ever see.

Inspired by the John Keats poem "Ode to a Grecian Urn"

[Verse 1]
Who are these figures frozen in time?
Maidens and men in a scene so sublime
What's this pursuit, this struggle to flee?
What music plays in this wild ecstasy?

[Chorus]
Unheard melodies, sweeter than sound
Soft pipes play on, no tone to be found
Spirit's ditties, forever unsung
A timeless beauty, forever young

[Verse 2]
Fair youth beneath the trees, your song will remain
Bold lover, your kiss, forever in vain
She'll never fade, though bliss you won't know
Your love eternal, her beauty aglow

[Chorus]
Unheard melodies, sweeter than sound
Soft pipes play on, no tone to be found
Spirit's ditties, forever unsung
A timeless beauty, forever young

[Bridge]
Happy boughs that never will shed
Spring eternal, no autumn dread
Melodist playing, never tired
Songs forever new, forever inspired

[Chorus]
Unheard melodies, sweeter than sound
Soft pipes play on, no tone to be found
Spirit's ditties, forever unsung
A timeless beauty, forever young

[Outro]
Frozen in art, a moment sublime
Beauty and love, untouched by time,
Beauty and love, untouched by time...

Ode to a Grecian Urn

Lyrics derived from a C.Cavafy poem

[verse 1]
And if you can’t shape your life,
The way you dream it in your mind,
Hold on tight, don’t let it fade,
Find the peace that you can find.

[verse 2]
In a world that’s loud and bright,
Where the chatter never ends,
Take a step back, hold on tight,
Let your heart be your best friend.

[Chorus]
Try not to degrade it,
Don’t let it slip away,
From the daily silliness,
Find your own way to play.
Keep your spirit shining,
Don’t let it hang around,
In the noise of the world,
You can still be profound.

[verse 3]
Too much talk, too much show,
Dragging dreams through crowded halls,
In the rush, we lose our glow,
Let your silence break the walls.

[Chorus]
Try not to degrade it,
Don’t let it slip away,
From the daily silliness,
Find your own way to play.
Keep your spirit shining,
Don’t let it hang around,
In the noise of the world,
You can still be profound.

[Bridge]
So when the parties call your name,
And the laughter fills the air,
Oh yeah I know, remember what you’re fighting for,
Find the beauty in the rare.

[Chorus]
Try not to degrade it,
Don’t let it slip away,
From the daily silliness,
Find your own way to play.
Keep your spirit shining,
Don’t let it hang around,
In the noise of the world,
You can still be profound.

[Outro]
And if you can’t shape your life,
At least hold on to your truth,
In the quiet, find your light,
Let your heart be your own proof.

Hold on tight

Lyrics based on a Yiannis Ritsos poem

[Verse 1]
In the twilight, the moonlight glows,
Stumbling softly where the willow grows.
A whisper dances through the leaves,
As children gather, their hearts believe.

[Chorus]
Oh, golden hands, shining bright,
Playing with the moon all night.
In the meadow, laughter sings,
Leaving little moons on the earth like wings.

[Verse 2]
Through the grass, they run and play,
Chubby fingers chase the stars away.
In the dark, their secrets bloom,
While the world sleeps, they light the room.

[Chorus]
Oh, golden hands, shining bright,
Playing with the moon all night.
In the meadow, laughter sings,
Leaving little moons on the earth like wings.

[Bridge]
But the grown-ups, wise and old,
Don’t see the magic, don’t see the gold.
Only mothers, with knowing eyes,
Feel the wonder, hear the sighs.

[Verse 3]
So they hide their treasures, soft and sweet,
In empty pockets, their secret retreat.
Fearing the scold, they keep it near,
The joy of the night, forever clear.

[Chorus]
Oh, golden hands, shining bright,
Playing with the moon all night.
In the meadow, laughter sings,
Leaving little moons on the earth like wings.

[Outro]
So let them play, let them dream,
In the moonlight's gentle gleam.
For in their hearts, the magic stays,
In golden hands...

Hold on tight
