Κανε λιγακι υπομονη – Kane ligaki ipomoni (Be a little patient)

Performed by: Stiga Theodosia
Music: Vassilis Tsitsanis
Lyrics: Vassilis Tsitsanis
Year: 1948

Lyrics:

Μην απελπίζεσαι και δε θ’ αργήσει
κοντά σου θα ‘ρθει μια χαραυγή
καινούργια αγάπη να σου ζητήσει
κάνε λιγάκι υπομονή

Διώξε τα σύννεφα απ’ την καρδιά σου
και μες το κλάμα μην ξαγρυπνάς
τι κι αν δε βρίσκεται στην αγκαλιά σου
θα ‘ρθει μια μέρα μην το ξεχνάς

Γλυκοχαράματα θα σε ξυπνήσει
και ο έρωτας σας θ’ αναστηθεί
καινούργια αγάπη θα ξαν’ αρχίσει
κάνε λιγάκι υπομονή

English:

Don’t fall in despair for he won’t be late
at the crack of dawn he’ll come by you
to beg from you a new love’s beginning
be just a bit patient

Push the cloudy darkness away from your heart
and don’t lose your sleep sobbing all night
what if he is not in your cuddly arms as yet
he’ll come one day, don’t you forget that

Some sweet daybreak he’ll awake you
and your love for each other will resurrect
a new love will bloom again
be just a bit patient
