Πέγκυ Ζήνα Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Χθες βράδυ και ονειρεύτηκα,
Και δίχως ρούχο βρέθηκα
Στους δρόμους της βροχής
Θαρρείς και προσευχήθηκα,
Για ‘σενανε και ευχήθηκα
Να πάρεις ότι αρνήθηκα
Μου πήρες όσα ζήτησες και δε συζήτησες
Μα όλα τα αμφισβήτησες και όλα τα ζητάς
Γι' αυτό και ‘γω σε χώρισα, αναθεώρησα
Γι' αυτό και σε τιμώρησα αλλού να τα χρωστάς
Κρατώντας τα προσχήματα,
Έβαζα και στοιχήματα,
Πως όλα είναι πείσματα
Αθώα τις στιγμής
Μα ήταν ματαιότητα
Η τόση ανευθυνότητα
Ν΄ αλλάζεις και ταυτότητα
κι αξία μιας τιμής
Μου πήρες όσα ζήτησες και δε συζήτησες
Μα όλα τα αμφισβήτησες και όλα τα ζητάς
Γι' αυτό και ‘γω σε χώρισα, αναθεώρησα
Γι' αυτό και σε τιμώρησα αλλού να τα χρωστάς
The song "Αναθεώρησα" (Anatheorisa) by Πέγκυ Ζήνα is about a woman who has reevaluated a past relationship and decided to move on from it. In the first verse, she wonders how she ended up thinking about her ex-lover and dreaming about them, finding herself alone and vulnerable in the rain. She had prayed and wished for them, hoping they would take what she had denied them and have half the world, but they had taken everything without discussion and still wanted more.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how she had kept up appearances and pretended that everything was fine, even though deep down, she knew it wasn't. She had placed bets on the relationship, thinking it was just a phase, but it turned out to be a mistake. Her ex-lover had changed their identity and worth, and it was enough to make her reevaluate the relationship and ultimately end it.
The chorus repeats the realization that her ex-partner had taken everything they wanted without discussing it and still wanted more. Because of this, the singer decided to break up, reevaluate the relationship, and "punish" her ex-partner by giving them debts elsewhere.
Overall, the song is about finding the self-worth to end an unhealthy relationship and move on, even if it hurts in the short term.

Πώς ήρθε και σε σκέφτηκα,
I wonder how you came to my thoughts,
Χθες βράδυ και ονειρεύτηκα,
Last night, I dreamt about you,
Και δίχως ρούχο βρέθηκα
And I found myself naked,
Στους δρόμους της βροχής
In the streets of rain
Θαρρείς και προσευχήθηκα,
I dared and prayed,
Για ‘σενανε και ευχήθηκα
For you, and wished,
Να πάρεις ότι αρνήθηκα
To take what I refused,
και το μισό της γης
And half of the world
Μου πήρες όσα ζήτησες και δε συζήτησες
You took what you asked for and didn't discuss it,
Μα όλα τα αμφισβήτησες και όλα τα ζητάς
But you questioned everything and still want it all,
Γι' αυτό και ‘γω σε χώρισα, αναθεώρησα
That's why I left you, reconsidered,
Γι' αυτό και σε τιμώρησα αλλού να τα χρωστάς
And that's why I punished you, so you owe it elsewhere
Κρατώντας τα προσχήματα,
Keeping up appearances,
Έβαζα και στοιχήματα,
I placed my bets,
Πως όλα είναι πείσματα
That everything is just stubbornness
Αθώα τις στιγμής
Innocent, for the moment
Μα ήταν ματαιότητα
But it was all vanity
Η τόση ανευθυνότητα
So much irresponsibility
Ν΄ αλλάζεις και ταυτότητα
To change even your identity
κι αξία μιας τιμής
And the value of an honor

Maraki -
Είχε γράψει και άλλο στο cd της
"Το Πάθος είναι αφορμή" όπου το ομώνυμο τραγούδι της το είχε κάνει δώρο...στην απονομή το 2009 που είχε και τα γενέθλια της.
