Christmas Blues - Λυπημένο Χριστουγεννιάτικο Τραγούδι Poem by Kostas Lagos

Christmas Blues - Λυπημένο Χριστουγεννιάτικο Τραγούδι

Rating: 5.0


Where the Star of Bethleem

was shedding its light of hope

now rules the gloom

the Three Kings have no gifts

to offer

poverty, disease, oppression

are offered instead

by the wise men of the world

alas good shepherds

where have your flock has gone

there is not

even a stable nor a manger

for a poor baby to be born





Εκεί που το Άστρο της Βηθλεέμ

έριχνε το φως της ελπίδας του

τώρα κυβερνά η καταχνιά

οι Τρεις Μάγοι δώρα δεν έχουν

να προσφέρουν

φτώχεια, αρρώστια, καταπίεση

προσφέρονται αντ' αυτών

από τους σοφούς του κόσμου

αλίμονο καλοί βοσκοί

πού πήγαν τα κοπάδια σας

δεν υπάρχει

ούτε ένας στάβλος ούτε μια φάτνη

για να γεννηθεί ένα φτωχό μωρό

Where indeed Kostas, where indeed. Poverty, disease and oppression has taken over. I wish however, you and yours a safe and happy Christmas…..
