Πιο καλή η μοναξιά [Pio Kali i Monaksia] [English translation]

I wish loneliness had a colour

to paint it on paper

To make it the colour of the sea

and the air of the ocean

And to put sails on it

for the final trip

A small port in the Aegean,

your embrace

Loneliness is better

than you that I cannot reach

At once I find you and then I lose you

Loneliness is better

I wish loneliness was a rock

a step for you to climb

For you to be lost in oblivion

so that I don't see you leaving

And for you to become smoke

like a cigarette which is finishing

From now on you'll be alone

and I will also be alone
