Ο Αύγουστος και ο Σεπτέμβριος είναι σταθερά στις πρώτες
προτιμήσεις των απανταχού λυρικών ποιητών. Οι δυο αυτοί μήνες με την μοιραία αντιθεσί
τους και τον πλούσιο συμβολισμό, συναγωνίζονται την αφοπλιστική αθωότητα και την
μεθυστική αισιοδοξία των Απριλο-Μάηδων …
Αποχαιρετούμε λοιπόν τον Αύγουστο και ταυτόχρονα υποδεχόμαστε
τον Σεπτέμβρη, με τον ίδια συνταγή που προ μηνός δοκιμάσαμε: ποίημα μετα μουσικής.
Αυτή τη φορά το ποίημα είναι από την ίδια εράσμια ποιητική
φωνή, όπως τότε, αλλά για να αυξήσουμε την αντίθεσι υποδεχόμαστε τον Σεπτέμβρη
με κάτι μουσικά μή εγχώριο κα απρόσμενο. Ένα τραγούδι του αμερικάνικου ρόκ συγκροτήματος
Daughtry. Ένα ρόκ κομμάτι που έχει το όνομα του μήνα μας στον τίτλο του.
Ευχές γα Καλό Μήνα και Καλό Φθινόπωρο!

Ιούλιος-Αύγουστος
Ὁ ἡλιοφόρος
Ἰούλιος λίγος,
ὁ εὔγευστος
Αὔγουστος ἐλάχιστος
καὶ πότε κιόλα ὁ σιγαλὸς Σεπτέμβριος.
Πρὸς τὸ κενὸ καλπάζοντας
νὰ κρατηθεῖς, ἀπὸ ποῦ
νὰ φύγεις,
κλειδί—κλαδί δὲν ἔχει ὁ χρόνος λεῖος, ἀπότομος
κάθε στιγμὴ του γκρεμὸς — πῶς νὰ σώσεις
τὴν ἀστραπὴ τὴ ζωή σου
—μ' ἕνα ποίημα, μ' ἕνα παιδί,
μ' ἕνα ἄγαλμα στὸ μουσεῖο;
Μία, δύο καὶ τρεῖς φορὲς κι ἑκατοντάδες
κι ἂν ἔρθει ὁ Ἰούλιος
κι ὁ Αὔγουστος ἂν ἔρθει πάλι
στὸ θάνατό σου θὰ σ' ἐγκαταλείψουν
ποὺ λίγο-λίγο, καθημερινὸς σ’ ἔχει κερδίσει, ὅσα
φιλιὰ κι ὅσα φτερὰ
μέσα τους κι ἂν ἐπρόφτασες νὰ θησαυρίσεις.
Λένα Παππά

Daughtry - September
Lyrics:
September
Half the
time passed away
All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste?
All the promises we made
One by one they vanished just the same
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
Now it all seems so clear
There's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long
That summer's moving on
Reach for something that's already gone
Yeah
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
Yeah we knew we had to lose this time
But we never knew when, and we never knew how
We would end up where we are
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when, and we never knew how
Never knew anything
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste?
All the promises we made
One by one they vanished just the same
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
Now it all seems so clear
There's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long
That summer's moving on
Reach for something that's already gone
Yeah
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
Yeah we knew we had to lose this time
But we never knew when, and we never knew how
We would end up where we are
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when, and we never knew how
Never knew anything
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
