OriginalVersione inglese dal libretto dell'album
ΆΝΟΙΞΕ, ΆΝΟΙΞΕOPEN UP, OPEN UP
Το παράθυρο κλεισμένο,
σφαλισμένο, σκοτεινό,
για ποιο λόγο δεν τ' ανοίγεις
πεισματάρα, να σε 'δω;
The window shut, bolted, dark.
Why don't you open it,
you stubborn girl,
so that I can see you?
Άνοιξε, άνοιξε,
γιατί δεν αντέχω,
φτάνει πια, φτάνει πια
να με τυραννάς.
Open up, Open up,
I can't bear it anymore.
You've tortured me enough
Ξεροστάλιασα στ' αγιάζι
ώρες να σου τραγουδώ,
η καρδιά μου φλόγες βγάζει,
μα δε βγαίνεις να σε 'δω.
The hoar-frost has settled —
I've been singing to you for hours.
My heart is blazing, but you
don't come out and let me look at you.
Άνοιξε, άνοιξε,
γιατί δεν αντέχω,
φτάνει πια, φτάνει πια
να με τυραννάς.
Open up, Open up,
I can't bear it anymore.
You've tortured me enough.
