Pou na vro takhidrómo (Πού να βρω ταχυδρόμο )

Lyrics: Nikos Gatsos
music: Dimos Moutsis
Πού νά ’βρω ταχυδρόμο να σου στείλω
θα 'ρθει χειμώνας και βροχή,
δεν έχω στη ζωή κανένα φίλο
κι εσύ μ' αφήνεις μοναχή.

Γύρνα στ' αραχνιασμένο σπίτι
να σε γεμίσω με φιλιά,
γύρνα χαμένο μου σπουργίτι
να βρεις την πρώτη σου φωλιά.

Πού νά ’βρω σκαλοπάτι να καθίσω
και παραθύρι να σταθώ,
το βράδυ που θα 'ρθεις να σ' αντικρίσω
και καλησπέρα να σου πω.

Only if I could find a postman

Only if I could find a postman to reach you
winter and rains are coming
I don’t have any friend in this life
and you left me alone

Come back to our web covered (desolate) home
to shower you with kisses,
come back my missed sparrow
to find your foremost nest

Only if I could find a stepstone to sit
or a window to lean to,
that evening you’ll return when I’ll first see you
to tell you “good-evening”

Author's comment:

Postal services were rare in rural greek villages till the mid 20th century and phones even after that, and many people left home to work in cities or abroad
