Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ματώνει το φεγγάρι
Στην άδεια νύχτα μου καημοι στο μαξιλαρι
Τα αστέρια πεφτουνε ψηλά
Μα τι ευχή να κάνω
Χάνει την πίστη ή καρδιά
Στον πονο επανω
Τα χρώματα
Οι αναμνήσεις γίναν στα χαλάσματα,φαντάσματα
Χάνομαι κι εσύ απλά κοιτάς
Θέλω να γυρίσεις πάλι στης καρδιας μου τ'ακρογιαλι
Χάνομαι κι εσύ δεν με πονάς
Βάζεις παύλα και τελεία
Η ζωή μου τρικυμια
Χάνομαι στ'αγρια νερά
Κυλούν τα δάκρυα βροχή
Στα χείλη η αλμυρά
Σαν το αντίο το φιλί
Που δεν σου πήρα
Θεε μου πως αργούν τα ξημερωτα
Τα χρώματα
Οι αναμνήσεις γίναν στα χαλάσματα
Φαντάσματα
Χάνομαι κι εσύ απλά κοιτάς
Θέλω να γυρίσεις πάλι
Στης καρδιας μου τ'ακρογιαλι
Χάνομαι κι εσύ δεν με πονάς
Βάζεις παύλα και τελεία
Η ζωή μου τρικυμία
Χάνομαι στ'αγρια νερα
Χάνομαι κι εσύ απλά κοιτάς
Γυρνά πίσω και ορκισου
Πως θα είμαι η ζωή σου
Χάνομαι που δεν μ'αγαπάς
The song "Χάνομαι" by Πέγκυ Ζήνα talks about a heartbreak that has left the singer lost and alone. The night is described as empty and the moon is bloody, highlighting the intense emotional pain the singer is feeling. The falling stars in the sky seem to mock the singer's wish to make amends with their lost love. The chorus emphasizes how the lost love is indifferent to the singer's pain, with the repeated line "Χάνομαι κι εσύ δεν με πονάς" (I'm lost and you don't hurt for me).
The second verse describes the tears on the singer's lips as salty as the sea, and the kiss goodbye that was never given. The use of the word "φαντάσματα" (ghosts) in both verses emphasizes the sense of loss and emptiness. The song ends with a plea to the lost love to return and promise to be each other's life.
Overall, the song is a powerful representation of heartbreak and the feeling of being lost and alone. It highlights the intense emotional pain and the hopelessness that can come with a broken relationship.

Έχει πανσέληνο ξανά
The full moon is out again
Ματώνει το φεγγάρι
The moon is bleeding
Στην άδεια νύχτα μου καημοι στο μαξιλαρι
My empty night is filled with sorrows on my pillow
Τα αστέρια πεφτουνε ψηλά
The stars fall up high
Μα τι ευχή να κάνω
But what wish should I make
Χάνει την πίστη ή καρδιά
Loses faith or heart
Στον πονο επανω
On top of the pain
Θεε μου πως αργούν τα ξημερώματα
Oh my God, how slow the dawns are
Τα χρώματα
The colors
Οι αναμνήσεις γίναν στα χαλάσματα,φαντάσματα

I want you to come back to the shore of my heart
Χάνομαι κι εσύ δεν με πονάς

My life is in turmoil
Χάνομαι στ'αγρια νερά
I am lost in the wild waters
Κυλούν τα δάκρυα βροχή
Tears roll down like rain
Στα χείλη η αλμυρά
The salt is on my lips
Σαν το αντίο το φιλί
Like the goodbye kiss
Που δεν σου πήρα
That I didn't give you
Γυρνά πίσω και ορκισου
Turn back and swear
Πως θα είμαι η ζωή σου
That I will be your life
Χάνομαι που δεν μ'αγαπάς
I am lost because you don't love me
