HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL…. FOR HELEN Greek Music & Lyrics by: Manos Hadjidakis Vocals by: MARIO FRANGOULIS English Translation of Lyrics by: Marios Stilianakis For twenty-years now, people ask me if I know who has abducted Helen, but, believe it or not, she might still be sitting in a classroom at school, patiently waiting for Paris. For twenty-years now, you keep asking me, who was the lucky man she fell in love with? Is she in Sparta? Is she on some remote island? Or has she wed and lives happily in Troy? They always ask me about Helen… Oh, Helen! You, who resembles a weeping icon of the Virgin Mary. Yet, when they ask me, again and again about your whereabouts, I have no answer to give… All I do is keep savoring the secret I’ve known in a locked up corner of my heart and continue weaving my worries into a fine tapestry! (Twice) For twenty-years now, you keep asking me, where we can find Helen? Has she become some sort of religious icon? Or does she stand in flames outside a lonely church? For twenty-years now, you keep asking me where Helen is buried? Perhaps in Argos, perhaps somewhere in a green meadow, perhaps she’s spread throughout the whole Universe! They always ask me about Helen… Oh, Helen! You, who resembles a weeping icon of the Virgin Mary. Yet, when they ask me, again and again about your whereabouts, I have no answer to give… All I do is keep savoring the secret I’ve known in a locked up corner of my heart and continue weaving my worries into a fine tapestry! (Twice)
