Μια Αναπνοή [Mia Anapnoi] [English translation]

If I had but one wish

it would be to see you again;

if I had but one moment

it would be to have you here;

if I had but one kiss

I would give it to you;

if I had but one chance

I would swallow your sea;

If I had but one dive

I would drown in your waters;

If I had but one glance

let me go blind afterwards;

If I, fool that I am, had the means

I would adorn you with the moon;

if I had the light of the heavens

I would illuminate you;

But I have only one heart

which knows no other way of loving you;

I have only one soul

which dwells in your very body;

If I had but one breath

it would be you I would resurrect

and let me die afterwards;

If I had but one evening

I would spend it all with you;

if I had but one dream

I would save it for you;

if I had but one minute

I would give it away to you;

if I had but one life

I would give it up for you.
