When someone has time... Wink

... can I request a big favour. I've pasted the lyrics to 'Roza' below and I'd really like to know what they mean in English. My Greek skills aren't yet up to it Sad

1st verse translation
My lips dry and thirsty
search on the asphalt for water
the cars pass by me
and you tell me that the worst is still to come
and you pull me into a cabaret.

2nd verse translation
We walk on the same road but
our prisons are apart
We walk around a magic city
I don't want ot know what we're searching for
as long as you give me two kisses.

3rd verse translation
You play me like russian roullette and you lose
in a nightmare fairytale
my voice now as small as an insect
my life like a wiltering plant
you cut me and throw me to the emptiness

Be back with rest later.

4th verse
How our needs become history
how history becomes silent
why do you look upon me Roza
forgive me for not understanding
what the numbers and computers write.

5th verse
My love made from coal and fertiziler
how the times have changed
the cars now pass ontop of us
and I in the fog and storm
sleep by your side starving.

4th verse repeated.

This is one of those songs that's best not translated, it is metaphorical, and you have to read between the lines.
