To Dikaioma
Alkistis Protopsalti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Και δικαίωμα
δεν έχω πια να σ' αγαπώ
το στερέωμα της λογικής μου
θαν' αυτό.

Να σ' αγκαλιάζω μια φορά
ούτε με φτάνει κι ούτε μ' αφορά
κάποτε θέλαμε κι οι δυο
Μα τώρα πια
σε θέλω για τον εαυτό μου.

Και δικαίωμα δεν έχω πια να σ' αγαπώ.

Και δικαίωμα
δεν έχεις πια να με κρατάς
στο μεσαίωνα της λογικής σου
να με πας

Να σ' αγκαλιάζω μια φορά
ούτε με φτάνει κι ούτε μ' αφορά
κάποτε θέλαμε κι οι δυο
Μα τώρα πια
σε θέλω για τον εαυτό μου.






Και δικαίωμα δεν έχω πια να σ' αγαπώ.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alkistis Protopsalti's song To Dikaioma (The Right) describe a relationship that has come to an end due to the singers' realizations that they can no longer love the other person as they used to. The first stanza implies that the singer's logical reasoning has taken over their emotional attachment, and they have lost the right to love the other person. They can no longer "hold them close" and "love them," and they accept that their logical mind has taken over their heart.


The second stanza is a response to the first one, where the other person is informed that they also no longer have the right to keep the singer in a loveless relationship. The singer acknowledges that "once upon a time," both of them wanted each other, but now, the singer only wants the other person for themselves. The line "now I want you for myself" indicates that the singer has learned to value themselves more, and they are no longer willing to compromise for the sake of a relationship.


In conclusion, the song To Dikaioma is about the end of a relationship due to the realization that the two parties cannot love each other as they once did. It is a poignant portrayal of how logic can often take over the heart in romantic relationships, and how both individuals need to value themselves more and not compromise for the sake of a relationship that is no longer fulfilling.
