from Oannes *

Η αγγλική συμμετοχή στην Eurovision μου θύμισε τον Ντέμη Ρούσσο και τους Aphrodite’s Child. Ακούμε λοιπόν το ομώνυμο τραγούδι του πρώτου τους άλμπουμ – το τέλος του κόσμου λαμβάνεται εδώ ως …τοπικός [τα πέρατα του κόσμου] και όχι χρονικός προσδιορισμός.
Επί της ουσίας βέβαια η διαφορά είναι ασαφής, αλλά …whatever.

UK’s Eurovision participation reminded me of Demis Roussos and Aphrodite’s Child. So we hear the title track from their debut album – the end of the world here refers to space [the edge of the world], not time.
On second thought, the difference between the two is uncertain somehow, but … whatever.

❝ You should come with me to the end of the world,
Without telling your parents and your friends.
You know that you only need to say the word,
So end my play with the end of the world.
But I know that I’ll go away by myself,
I feel you don’t want to come.
You should come with me to the end of the world,
We could lay all day on the quiet sands.
I would introduce you to my friend the bird
Who sings and flies along the fairy [trend]
But I know that I’ll go away by myself
I feel you don’t want to come.
If you come with me to the end of the world,
I’ll give you anything that lives on earth.
You know that you only need to say the word
So end my play with the end of the world.
But I know that I’ll go away by myself
I feel you don’t want to come ❞

Enjoy!
