Καθρέφτης

Μια μέρα ήρθε στο χωριό γυναίκα ταραντούλα
κι όλοι τρέξαν να τη δουν.
Άλλος της πέταξε ψωμί
κι άλλοι της ρίξαν πέτρα
απ' την ασχήμια να σωθούν.
 
Κι ένα παιδί της χάρισε ένα κόκκινο λουλούδι,
ένα παιδί.
Ένα παιδί της ζήτησε να πει ένα τραγούδι,
ένα παιδί.
 
Κι είπε ποτέ σου μην τους πεις
τι άσχημοι που μοιάζουν,
αυτοί που σε σιχαίνονται
μα στέκουν και κοιτάζουν.
 
Κι είπε ποτέ σου μην κοιτάς
τον άλλον μες τα μάτια,
γιατί καθρέφτης γίνεσαι
κι όλοι σε σπάν' κομμάτια.
 
Μια μέρα ήρθε στο χωριό
άγγελος πληγωμένος.
Τον φέρανε σε ένα κλουβί
κι έκοβε εισιτήριο ο κόσμος αγριεμένος,
την ομορφιά του για να δει.
 
Κι ένα παιδί σαν δάκρυ ωραίο αγγελούδι,
ένα παιδί.
Ένα παιδί του ζήτησε να πει ένα τραγούδι,
ένα παιδί.
 
Κι είπε αν θέλεις να σωθείς
από την ομορφιά σου,
πάρε τσεκούρι και σπαθί
και κόψε τα φτερά σου.
 
Κι είπε ποτέ σου μην κοιτάς
τον άλλο μες τα μάτια,
γιατί καθρέφτης γίνεσαι
κι όλοι σε σπαν' κομμάτια.
 
 
Translation

Mirror

One day the lady tarantula came to the village
And everyone runned to see her.
One threw her some bread
And others threw her stones
To save themseld from the ugliness.
 
And a child gave her a red rose,
A child
A child asked her to sing a song,
A child
 
And she told him never to say to them
How ugly they look,
The ones who loath you
But still are standing and watching you.
 
And she told 'Never look
The other (person) in the eyes
Because you become a mirror
And everyone brakes you into pieces'.
 
One day came to the village
A wounded angel.
They brought him in a cage
And the crowd was angrily buying tickets,
To watch his beauty.
 
And a child, beautiful like a tear, an angel,
A child
A child asked him to sing a song
A child
 
And he told him ' if you want to be saved from your beauty
take an ax and a sword
And cut your wings
 
And he told 'never look
The other (person) in the eyes
Because you become a mirror
And everyone brakes you into pieces'.

Hi, fortal12,
welcome to LT community. I wish you'll have a creative stay here with us!

I found some of the corrections you've made at Id's translation really good, some other not. But I don't understand, why you've added a "new" translation, when there is existing another one with near no differences??? You could suggest your (not really important) corrections in form of a comment under the existing translation, first... You didn't translate nothing, just copied and corrected a little bit. That way, it is nearly illegally copying!

We are posting here our own translations or we're adding the source, if the translation is written by an other translator. ;)

Please make your corrections at Id's translation and then delete yours. Thank you.
