Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Greek term or phrase: ανάλαφρα να σταθούμε πάνω τους | Καλησπέρα παιδιά!
Παραθέτω απόσπασμα από ένα βιβλίο με λαογραφικά στοιχεία που εστιάζει στα βιώματα παλαιότερων γενιών στο χωριό και σε μία προσπάθεια να διατηρηθούν ζωντανά τα ήθη και έθιμα των προγενέστερων.
...Ας αφήσουμε κληρονομιά στα παιδιά μας μνήμες, τοπία, ήθη, έθιμα, δηλαδή ζωή. Μνήμες από τις οποίες, εφόσον σεβαστούμε και ***ανάλαφρα σταθούμε πάνω τους***, θα αφουγκραστούμε τους ψιθύρους των προγόνων μας. Τα διδάγματα των ανθρώπων αυτών που έζησαν σ' αυτόν τον τόπο, που αγάπησαν, και τελικά έφυγαν από αυτόν, εξακολουθώντας, όμως, να αποτελούν μέρος αυτού που είμαστε σήμερα...
Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων!! |

18 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +4 rest lightly upon them
Explanation:
rest lightly on these memories
"Best to rest lightly on those memories of past reads, he mused, and he turned to the first page and began to read."
http://chumleyandpepys.blogspot.com/2009/10/love-and-summer-...
Επίσης:
tread lightly on these memories, αλλά δεν είναι "στέκομαι", έχει κίνηση
και, βέβαια, το εντελώς αγγλικό και άσχετο cherish the memories

| Notes to answerer
Asker: I love the fact that the first option evokes the same feelings I had when I read the original, not to mention the collocation with memories, something identical to the case at hand. It's only fair, however, that I wait for any other feedback, be it supplementary or in favor of the above. Thanks a million!!
