Ζηλιάρα είμαι του Μαγιού και ξέρω τις μαγιές

[kamilbc1]

Hi guys,

I am trying to translate a few phrases of a song and I find it quite challenging. Can you please help?
The parts in bold are the most difficult to translate:

Ζηλιάρα είμαι του Μαγιού και ξέρω τις μαγιές - I am jeslous of Mayo?(not sure about it) and I know (μαγιές not sure what that words mean)
Τα χείλη μου δεν ξεδιψούν μ' ένα φιλί και θέλω να 'ναι ζαχαράτη η ζωή - My lips don't get thirtsty with a kiss and I want life to be sweet

Many thanks,

Kamil

I am jealous of May (the month) and I know the μαγιές.
I don't know what "μαγιές" is here. Probably it's a word invented and related to "Μαγιού".

My lips don't quench their thirst with a kiss and I want life to be "sugar sweet".

Hi Perseas,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

The phrase is sort of tricky and I am not sure if it was transcribed correctly. Maybe it should be like this:
Ζηλιάρα είμαι του μάγου και ξέρω τις μαγείες - I'm jelous of the wizard and I know the magic spells

Ufortunately my level of Greek does not allow me to double check what she actually is singing in that phrase.


Many thanks,
Kamil

As I found here, it's:
Ζηλιάρα είμαι του Μαγιού
Και ξέρω τις μαγιές.
Eleni - Στίχοι Ήρθες στην ζωή μου (Irthes Stin Zoi Mou) - EL

Hey Perseas,

Thanks for that . I know that web and I had actually asked a girl from there to transcribe the song for me. She said she was not sure if the part was correct.

Hi,
I am sure it's Μαγιού (of May); this is what I hear. In the first strophe there is also "Τον περασμένο Μάη "
I also hear μαγιές. Because this word doesn't make any sense here, I think that it's either an invented word to mean the things that are related to May or there is a movement of the accent in the word "μαγείες" (μαγείες --> μαγειές). μαγειές and μαγιές are pronounced the same way.
