Πέγκυ Ζήνα Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Θα 'μουν πιο ψύχραιμη, δε θα ξεσπούσα
Θα σ' ελευθέρωνα, θα το μπορούσα
Όλα τα λάθη σου θα προσπερνούσα
Δε θα' ταν πόλεμος, δε θα νικούσα
Δε θα περίμενα, δε θα αργούσα
Μόνο για μένα δε θα σε κρατούσα
Θ' άλλαζαν όλα αν δε σ' αγαπούσα πια, πια
Τρέξε να γλιτώσεις, τώρα τρέξε
Αν σε πιάσω μπορεί να νιώσεις
Πως η αγάπη δυναμώνει
Κι έχει δύναμη που σκοτώνει
Τώρα τρέξε αν φοβάσαι
Απ' τον έρωτα πιο μακριά, πιο μακριά
Θ' άλλαζαν όλα αν δε σ' αγαπούσα
Την ηρεμία σου δε θα χαλούσα
Θα καταλάβαινα, θα συγχωρούσα
Δε θα χρωστούσες και δε θα χρωστούσα
Δε θα 'ταν πόλεμος, δε θα νικούσα
Δε θα περίμενα, δε θα αργούσα
Μόνο για μένα δε θα σε κρατούσα
Θ' άλλαζαν όλα αν δε σ' αγαπούσα πια, πια
Τρέξε να γλιτώσεις, τώρα τρέξε
Αν σε πιάσω μπορεί να νιώσεις
Πως η αγάπη δυναμώνει
Κι έχει δύναμη που σκοτώνει
Τώρα τρέξε αν φοβάσαι
Απ' τον έρωτα πιο μακριά, πιο μακριά
Τρέξε να γλιτώσεις, τώρα τρέξε
Αν σε πιάσω μπορεί να νιώσεις
Πως η αγάπη δυναμώνει
Κι έχει δύναμη που σκοτώνει
Τώρα τρέξε αν φοβάσαι
Απ' τον έρωτα πιο μακριά, πιο μακριά
Τρέξε να γλιτώσεις, τώρα τρέξε
Αν σε πιάσω μπορεί να νιώσεις
Πως η αγάπη δυναμώνει
Κι έχει δύναμη που σκοτώνει
Τώρα τρέξε αν φοβάσαι
Απ' τον έρωτα πιο μακριά, πιο μακριά
Τρέξε από μένα πιο μακριά
Τρέξε από μένα πιο μακριά
Τρέξε από μένα πιο μακριά
The lyrics in Πέγκυ Ζήνα's song Τρέξε express a sense of regret and frustration surrounding a past relationship. The singer identifies that they would have behaved differently had they not been in love with their partner. The singer lists a series of actions they would have taken including being more calm, not fighting, not holding onto their partner, and forgiving their mistakes. The chorus "Τρέξε να γλιτώσεις, τώρα τρέξε" ("Run to escape, now run") encourages the partner to flee the situation and avoid being hurt. The lines "Αν σε πιάσω μπορεί να νιώσεις/ Πως η αγάπη δυναμώνει/ Κι έχει δύναμη που σκοτώνει" ("If I catch you, you might feel/ That love strengthens/ And has a power that kills") highlight the intensity of the love between the singer and their partner, suggesting that it could be dangerous.

Away from love, farther away
