MALAMATENIA LOGIA Lyrics: Manos Eleftheriou Music: Yannis Markopoulos Orchestration: Pericles Kanaris AORATOS - A Premiere and Tribute to Manos Eleftheriou Tribeca Performing Arts Center, New York, 2015 Malamatenia words on a handkerchief I found them in my sergiani the day before yesterday the alphabet book on your clover taught tomorrow and yesterday but I was passing through the last gate with the threads of time tied The nightingales built you in Troy where you drained a generation in vain it was better if they called you Maria and you were a seamstress in Kokkinia and not to live with this company and not know the killer star Many returned scarred by the weather the wild payment in the middle ranks four winds took them for sergiani for a moment and found the flame that does not tremble and the languor without And like the others they were lost too they found them barking in half and from the old torment there is only one dog left at night when thirsty women in the corner with acetylene chat on the seashore And in the open world the trucks will unload in Caesarea how did this century happen and life turned upside down how did fate and the years bring it about that you don't listen to a poet of the world who untangles the tangle who is the captain in the mountains who gives love and grace and to the myrtles of Hades Sergian curse words in the grass who finds for the next generation They tied me to the narrow streets and to the rules and at dawn on Friday archers phalanxes and legions took me and put me in a cage and in the underground dice the centuries are played by the money changers I was looking for the great hunts and as I was not A rascal and a bully, I passed through your courts, since in Hades you will find me, to judge me again with tortures and punish me like a criminal.
