Anoixe
2009 November 10
“Anoixe,Anoixe” (Open up, Open up) as sung by Diamanda Galas live at the Kitchen, NYC 1999. Original words and music by Giannis (“Yannis”) Papaioannou. Translated from Greek:
The window shut, bolted, dark.
Why don’t you open it, you stubborn girl, so that I can see you?
Open up, Open up, I can’t bear it anymore.
You’ve tortured me enough.
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.
Go to http://www.diamandagalas.com and support real talent and vitally IMPORTANT music, poetry, and art while it (thankfully) still has room to breathe in a culture of mediocrity, ignorance and pedestrian bullshit.
Love the imagery and a great choice of musical background that fits pefectly. Are these cemeteriesa llin RI or did you travel around? I like them wherever they came from.
