Overcoming Generation Gap
Greek Teams’ Album
of family relations and activities
We often spend time with ourgrandparents who teach us thetraditional way of life, oldhabits and customs.
Spending time with my friends is very important
for me too. I trust them and we share problems and little secrets together.
“We have visited many countries during
holidays, in summer but in winter too”. This helps the family stick together.
Spyros
“I like being with family
members but mostly I
need my friends who can
put up with my jocks.
“I like making fun all the
time!!!! My mum can’t
stand me sometimes”.
Having lunch with parents, relatives and friends is nice as we need to reinforce bonds between us,
although they keep advising me all the time.
My friends are very important for me as they seem to
accept me without criticizing me. However I like doing
things with thm too, like Comenius project activities.
Here I am with some of my school friends and
teachers. They often find it difficult to handle me
because of my “making fun” all the time.

“Bekledim de gelmedin” ( I have been waiting for you to come )
Bekledim de gelmedin/ Sevdiğimi bilmedin/ Gözyaşımı silmedin/ Hiç mi beni sevmedin?/Söyle, söyle/ Hiç mi beni sevmedin?/ Bir öpücük ver bana/ Yalvarıyorum sana/ Benikucaklasana/ Kollarına alsana/ Söyle, söyle/ hiç mi beni sevmedin?/.
I have been waiting but you never show up/
Didn’t you feel my love for you?/ You didn’t wipe
my tear/ Didn’t you love me at all?/ Give me a
kiss/ I beg you/ Hug me/ Take me in your hands/
Tell me, Tell me/ Didn’t you love me at all?
Περίμενα μα δεν ήρθες/ Δε γνώριζες την αγάπη μου/ Τo δάκρυ μου δεν το'σβησες/ Δενμ' αγάπησες καθόλου;/ Πες μου, πες μου/ Δεν μ' αγάπησες καθόλου;/ Δώσε μου έναφιλί/ Σε ικετεύω/ Αγκάλιασε με/ Πάρε με στα χέρια σου/ Πες μου, πες μου/ Δεν μ'αγάπησες καθόλου;/.
