Για την Ελλάδα - Σωκράτης Μάλαμας
Για την Ελλάδα - Σωκράτης Μάλαμας
Αμπέλια και χρυσές ελιές
μοιάζεις Ελλάδα μου όπως θες
φωτιά κι αέρας, στο φως της μέρας.
Τη μια ευρωπαία στο κλαρί,
την άλλη αρχαία προτομή
Γιατί, γιατί;
Γύρνα και δείξε μου τον δρόμο σου ξανά
μάτια μου, κομμάτια μου
σαν γράμμα ατέλειωτο που έσβησε ο καιρός
μ’ ονόματα και χρώματα.
Γυμνά τα δέντρα, τα κλαδιά
κι έχουν πετάξει μακριά
πουλιά κι αστέρια, σε ξένα χέρια.
Ετσι ήταν πάντα μου γελάς
παιδιά είμαστε της λησμονιάς
σ’ ακούω χαμένος, σαν ζαλισμένος.
Στον ουρανό σου θέλω απόψε ν’ ανεβώ
να σε βρω
αγκάλιασέ με στο σκοτάδι σου να μπω
μάγισσα, σ’ αγάπησα.
