Κλείσε Μου Το Στόμα [Kliste Mou To Stoma] [English translation]

Now shut my mouth

Shu-shut my mouth

I’ve got still many things to say

Now shut my mouth

And I’m still here, I’ve got more things to say

More people will hate me, maybe I could find some respect

And maybe I could drown in my thoughts which my mind create

And thus I could disappear for a while, by any chance to benefit you

I take a breath, a pen, I transform the words into clay

Again I sell many discs and ringtones

Again you sell our land, again you spread panic

Again you will harm the Greeks

Nivo [is writing] again on the paper, Nivo [is singing] again through mp3

Nivo from the pen to the speakers and from there to the soul

Nivo again in the TV to make inventory

The friends and enemies have become more

Nivo [is making] an effort again with a little bit of malevolence

So I feel hatred, don’t expect me to like you

As much time there is, as much is still left

As much as I bear, as much as I can with my mouth closed

I rebuild the hope again from the beginning

All the things they promised me, the rain drown them as it was passing

As many dreams I had dreamed, the fire burned them

On the Monday, I start all over again once more

Everything has ruined from its very own foundations in this place [Greece]

There are many people who accomplish their goal without any effort

You need to find a way [*01] and a good lawyer

The appropriate gift to the appropriate person [*02]

If you need an example to see what I mean [*03]

Transfers from Evros right through the G.S.A. [*04]

With a phone call the wangle becomes real

And from the home to the army camp the distance lessens

There are many people who pretend to be Lysias [*05]

And from the other hand they burn the forests as if they make sacrifices

What values? Everything is hanging [helpless]

They drowned them [the values] too, as they drowned “Samina” [*06]

I’m sick of the banks, loans, celebrations

Parades and big wreaths

I don’t care about your postulate

They’ve appointed you to do favors

I rebuild the hope again from the beginning

All the things they promised me, the rain drown them as it was passing

As many dreams I had dreamed, the fire burned them

On the Monday, I start all over again once more

Then I will go on, like the quartz watches

Each of my songs will have many words

I’ll keep my eyes open even when I sleep

As long the years will pass I will remember even more

Again I say the same things with a way I’m accustomed to

I ask for nothing else, just what I deserve

I don’t deserve it but however I live hard-pressed in the city

As the dreams and people get packed

Fortunately I’ve left of paper and ink

Thoughts don’t get buried by public expenses

With a filter of coyness which make me wiser

And some other times they send me to hell

I’ve learned to listen [to the others], I’ve learned to give

I’ve learned to love and work hard

What am I going to become of, if I let my heart to be cold

Like a statue in the Tussaud museum which has been petrified

I rebuild the hope again from the beginning

All the things they promised me, the rain drown them as it was passing

As many dreams I had dreamed, the fire burned them

On the Monday, I start all over again once more

Now shut my mouth

Shu-shut my mouth

I’ve got still many things to say

Now shut my mouth
