Note: This is not actually an original fanfic poem. It's a powerfully beautiful song that I cannot take out of my mind. Ever since I heard it, it so reminds me of the Phantom's/Erik's pain that it brings tears to my eyes. I wish you could all enjoy it, but it so happens that it's a song in my native language, Greek. Allow me to translate and share it with you, my little tribute and dedication to the "Phantom of the Opera" saga.
Disclaimer: This does not belong to me, it belongs to Sony Music. I am merely translating, to the best of my abilities, a beautiful ballad that has no other way to be understood/known outside my home country, Greece. I don't intend any promotion or profit from this. If I am trespassing on any copyright laws and this should not be here, I'll remove it at once.
Beta-read by my dear friend Nebride. Thank you so much!
My Angel
vocals: Alkistis Protopsalti
lyrics: Nikos Moraitis
music: Stefanos Korkolis
As the hands were wrapping around the body,
and as the night was bursting to stars,
I had timidly touched your heart,
I love you...
And as the stars were falling on ground,
and as the bodies were falling on earth,
I found only three words to say to you,
I love you...
My angel, my woman, my death... you.
My angel, my woman, my death... you.
You who were slowly twisting the knife,
you who were sweetly taking my life,
you...
And when you were slowly twisting the knife,
and when you were sweetly taking my life,
again I had told you only three words,
I love you...
And as we were just fighting hand to hand,
and as I had no longer a heart to hold on to,
I found once again a way to say
I love you...
My angel, my woman, my death... you.
My angel, my woman, my death... you.
You who were slowly twisting the knife,
you who were sweetly taking my life,
you...
All around people are walking in pairs,
and I alone in a shut house,
having a warm whisper in my mouth,
I love you...
My angel... you.
My angel, my woman, my death... you.
You who were slowly twisting the knife,
you who were sweetly taking my life,
you...
I hope you like it :)
A small bottom note: In the original song, it goes "my angel, my human, my death". I took the liberty to change "human" to "woman" to fit Erik's point of view. "My human" in Greek is a saying, meaning my companion/partner. All else is the same.
