Arketa
Anna Vissi Lyrics

auti ti sxesi mono ego agapisa
I loved this relationship alone, just me, and brought it to an end as I began it.

ke edosa telos etsi opos arxisa
I ended it the same way I started it.

ma otan kourastika
But when I was weak,

den isoun pouthena
You were nowhere to be found.

na me stirikseis
To embrace me

na mou doseis mia agkalia
To give me a hug

Arketa ego na skeftome
I often think to myself

to prin ke to meta
About what was before and what will come

na s'agapao
That I love you

oso ki an zoume xorista
No matter how far apart we are

na se zitao tis nixtes
I search for you at night

m'anafilita
And I get lost.

arketa na prospatho
I try hard enough

na anapso pali mia fotia
To light a fire once again

mesa ap' tis staxtes
Between the stacks

mias agapis arketa
Of a love that was abundant

den exo tipota
I have nothing

apo esena tora pia
From you, not anymore.

Gia sena tosous orkous
For you, I had so many hopes

katapatisa
But I was let down

ta oria mou omos
My boundaries, however,

ta eksantlisa
I eliminated.

ke eno perimena
And while I kept waiting

den irthes na me vreis
You never came looking for me

dio logia agapis
Two words of love

pou 'xa anagki na mou peis
That I needed you to tell me.
