Θέμης Αδαμαντίδης sings Κι όμως . Same music as Lady, but lyrics are different I guess.


Θέμης Αδαμαντίδης sings Κι όμως


English translation of Wikipedia article:

Themis Adamantidis ( Kaisariani Attica , September 28, 1957 ) (real name: Efthymios Adamantiadis ) is a Greek singer of the folk and light folk repertoire with unique songs



ΣΤΙΧΟΙ ΚΙ ΟΜΩΣ

Κι όμως πριν να κλείσει οριστικά αυτός ο δρόμος
θέλω πάλι μια φορά να σου το πω
Κι όμως πριν να ’ρθει ο χωρισμός σαν ταχυδρόμος
να το ξέρεις πως για πάντα σ’ αγαπώ

Σ’ αγαπώ το λάθος μου είναι αυτό
κι όμως πάντα θα είμαι εδώ
κι εγώ που ’χω φτάσει τώρα
τι άλλο να πω σ’ αγαπώ

Κι όμως πριν να ’ρθει ο χωρισμός σαν ταχυδρόμος
να το ξέρεις πως για πάντα σ’ αγαπώ
Κι όμως πριν μ’ αρπάξει πια της μοναξιάς ο τρόμος
να το ξέρεις μακριά σου θα χαθώ

Σ’ αγαπώ το λάθος μου είναι αυτό
κι όμως πάντα θα είμαι εδώ
κι εγώ που ’χω φτάσει τώρα
τι άλλο να πω σ’ αγαπώ

Κι όμως πριν φύγω θέλω να σου πω
πως ο χρόνος θα βρει εμάς μαζί ξανά
γιατί εγώ θα τρέξω μα κι εσύ θα ’ρθεις
γιατί είσαι εσύ κι είμαι εγώ η αγάπη

Google translation of the supposed lyrics of the songs (I cannot speak whatever the language is shown) to English. Not perfectly understandable translation by Google, though:

LYRICS AND BUT
And yet before this road is finally closed
I want to tell you again
And yet before the separation comes as a postman
to know that I love you forever

I love you my mistake is this
and yet I will always be here
and I who have arrived now
what more can I say I love you

And yet before the separation comes as a postman
to know that I love you forever
And yet before the loneliness seized me with terror
to know it away from you I will be lost

I love you my mistake is this
and yet I will always be here
and I who have arrived now
what more can I say I love you

And yet before I leave I want to tell you
that time will find us together again
because I will run but you will come too
because it's you and I's love


You can find other covers of Lady in English as well as in other languages (including this one, where I got it from) at:

Kenny Rogers sings Lady.


 

Lady
I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am, and
I am yours
My love
There's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more
You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song
Lady
For so many years
I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and
Made me whole
Forever
Let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly
In my ear
In my eyes
I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And, yes, oh yes I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long
Lady
Your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where
I want you to be
'Cause, my love
There's somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life
You're my lady

(I The boldfaced that part:
Lady
Your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where
I want you to be
'Cause, my love
There's somethin' I want you to know
because it sounds so beautiful to me -- the climactic part.
This song is by Lionel Richie, who won the Gershwin Prize for this year 2022. Coincidentally, Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio Estefan won the Gershwin Prize for 2019 -- one Gloria Estefan song was posted just before this post.)

Veronica Yvette Greenfield (née Bennett) / Ronnie Spector has died. (August 10, 1943 – January 12, 2022)

I typed this on June 21, 2019 in a previous post -- https://samsarictravelling.blogspot.com/2019/06/3152-wisdom-and-knowledge-series-post-3.html :

Ronnie Spector was a new choice to put on this timeline, and she is still alive up to this moment on June 21, 2019 possibly (I don't have any supernatural power to see what is happening anywhere else in existence right now at this very moment; I can only get information like that through other's reports, but which are, though, delayed reports (like the internet), not right at this very moment). 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just found out today January 20, 2022, a few hours ago, through a regular search for Ronnie Spector in the 'News' section of a google search, that Ronnie Spector died. It was not the first news listing, while the first few news listings did not have any word like 'died', so I thought the news link was a fake news link. But I realized eventually it was not fake news. I checked the twitter account where the family's post about it redirected me to Ronnie Spector's official site for their post about it:

Family Statement on the Passing of Ronnie Spector:

Our beloved earth angel, Ronnie, peacefully left this world today after a brief battle with cancer. She was with family and in the arms of her husband, Jonathan. 

Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humor and a smile on her face.  She was filled with love and gratitude.

Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her.  

In lieu of flowers, Ronnie requested that donations be made to your local women’s shelter or to the American Indian College Fund.

A celebration of Ronnie’s life and music will be announced in the future.

The family respectfully asks for privacy at this time.


I usually would find out news about the deaths of persons I only knew from internet/media (celebrities, for example; I never met Ronnie Spector in person, but have posted to her facebook in the past more than once) much later after their deaths, because I would not have internet at home, and would go to a free internet place (like the public library) to do my internet stuff (and that's when I do not take a leave from the internet). But for about the last year I have been paying for my internet so have always had easy access to it at home, so being up to date on news on celebrities is more frequent. Although 8 days after Ronnie Spector passed away I now know about, it is still far quicker than me knowing of a monk named Bhikkhu Samahita whose passing I found out about a year after, or of the singer Kenny Rogers who I found out passed away maybe months or even about a year after the fact (because of the same "only know through the internet", no internet connection at home, and taking leaves from the internet reasons).

May you be well, may you be happy, Ronnie Spector.

Ai

4. I just joined about March 7, 2019 to just post my jokes in the joke thread in the Lounge section of 'Dharma Wheel Engaged' message board (not to be confused with 'Dhamma Wheel' message board):

https://dharmawheel.org/

I am a serious person to others most of the time, honest (or try to be as honest as possible...) in everyday life, and when talking about the Buddha's teachings.

But when I make jokes, that's when I can possibly be not as-a-matter-of-fact, can lie (tell a untruth) in my jokes. So, if you're not looking for honesty from me as a rule, you can enjoy my jokes in that joke thread in the Lounge section of ''Dharma Wheel Engaged' message board'.

Today is Thursday, October 3, 2019.

My second Tanx memory: The unofficial result (not official) is I am in 1st place in today's Tanx tournament.

This is the second Tanx tournament I participated in since returning to Tanx on Thursday, September 5, 2019 (I skipped the three weeks between these two tournaments: the weeks of the Classic, Desert, and Mars arenas tournaments). Like I said, I was in 1st place, but the result has not become official yet:

BEFORE TODAY, I HAVE NEVER EVER GOT A 1ST PLACE TANX TOURNAMENT WIN EVER IN MY LIFE (as far as I know).

THIS TOOK ABOUT FOUR YEARS TO HAPPEN, SINCE I BEGAN MY QUEST THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS WEEKLY TANX TOURNAMENT (THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY). UP TO TODAY, ONLY 2ND PLACE FINISHES WAS THE BEST I COULD DO. BUT TODAY THE CONDITIONS WERE RIGHT FOR IT, FOR ONE THING, I GUESS.

4th memory from World of Tanks: I returned to World of Tanks.

4th memory from World of Tanks: I returned to World of Tanks.

( My third -- the previous one -- World of Tanks memory can be found here: https://samsarictravelling.blogspot.com/2019/05/3rd-memory-from-world-of-tanks-my-girl.html )

Today is Thursday, September 26, 2019. I returned to the online videogame World of Tanks over a month ago, I think it was, though I have the exact date somewhere else, but don't want to go look for it and divulge that information. I was away about 7 and a 1/2 months up to the time I returned.

I would not recommend videogaming if it harms your life. I found a way to play videogames without it harming my life like in the past, before I quit (then returned now).

Just one capture of a game I was in two days ago (a low results game for me). (CLICK ON CAPTURES TO SEE FULL VIEW):




As you can see from the capture, I am known publicly by my nick 'World_War_1_and_2'.

Now, below are some captures of a different game's results, which I played on September 18, 2019 (8 days ago) according to the files' date stamps, where I was the top scorer in that game -- I only have captures of after the game (the results shown after the game, the garage with the tank before and after repairs, and the performance characteristics of the tank), no captures of what was happening while I was playing that specific game (unlike the capture above of yesterday's game while I was in the game):

My first Tanx memory: The unofficial result (not official) is I am 2nd place for my first Tanx tourney in about 12-14 months I was away from the game.

Today is September 5, 2019:

My first flyordie.com Tanx tournament in about 13 months (about 12 months at least, and about 14 months at most, I guess; the dates of the last results before I returned today, were in July or August of 2018, I am guessing (these results have been replaced with the new results from the tournament of today)). It was snow arena this week. As always, the tournament lasts for 1 hour.

I am the 'life & nature' player nick in the copy & paste of the Tanx tournament results.

Before the tournament, I bought a one year subscription to flyordie.com to be able to participate in their tournaments -- this Tanx tournament, specifically.

The unofficial result (not official -- have to wait about, at most, one week usually, before it may become official) is I am 2nd place.

I only solo trained (in empty arenas, password locked so stopping others from entering my arena -- snow arena and classic arena) for about 10 to 15 minutes before this tournament, and got 2nd place in this tournament that followed my solo training. And before I trained those 10 to 15 minutes before the tournament, I was away 12 to 14 months from the tournaments, and also maybe never training in any real serious way, or in any way maybe; and maybe more, not even playing the game regularly, or at most a few visits where I actually logged into the lobby or an arena, if at all -- I cannot remember -- in all those 12 to 14 months.
