Mou evale kai pali tis fones
Ekana leeiap ta xaramata egw
Mesa sto spiti fasaria
Den xerw ti na kanw teleftea
Den einai I sxesis mas kales varies koubentes
Antallaxame oi dyo
Panw se mia diafwnia
Mou eipe tha paei na meinei allou
Kai itan o monos ap tous filous mas pou
Akoma
Kratage epafh mazi sou
Den xerw ti na kanw epikindina osa prokeite na rthoun
Kai vgenw eksw ap to spiti na se dw
Mipos kai akousw ri fwni sou
Erimi poli ta mesanyxta
Moiazei I zoi mou an ti deis
Kai exw ta fwta mou orthanoixta
Mipos ta deis kai ksanartheis
Erimi poli mes tous dromous tis
Den meni pia kaneis
Kai o ouranos skyftos stous omous tis
Klaiei mazi mou pou kai pali ftanw moni
Sto telos tis diadromis
Simera o sygkatikos mou o ponos
Irthe pisw na mou pei

Na teliwnei afto to thema epitelous
Fovamai pws to mono pou exei meinei
Einai I apolyth siwpi
Kai vgenw exw sti odo zois miden
Stin odo tou telous
Repeat Chorus (as the first one)
Chorus - slighlty changed to end:
Erimi poli ta mesanyxta
Moiazei I zoi mou an ti deis
Kai exw ta fwta mou orthanoixta
Mipos ta deis kai ksanartheis
Erimi poli akatoikiti
Einai I zoi mou an ti deis
Kai oh apousia sou anikiti
Klaiei mazi mou pou kai pali ftanw moni
Sto telos tis diadromis
The lyrics of Anna Vissi's song Erimi Poli speak of loneliness and isolation in an empty city at night. The singer's partner is away, leaving her to deal with her pain and longing alone. The repetition of the phrase "Erimi Poli," translated as "Deserted City," creates a sense of emptiness and detachment. In the first verse, the singer references the sound of her partner's voice, perhaps in a recorded message, which compounds her longing. She mentions feeling disconnected and unsure of what to do. The line "Den xerw ti na kanw teleftea, Den einai I sxesis mas kales varies koubentes" could be interpreted as her questioning the nature of their relationship.
In the second verse, the singer expresses her fear of the unknown, particularly of what may happen if she steps out of her house. She questions whether she will hear her partner's voice again and if they will be reunited. The phrase "Mipos kai akousw ri fwni sou" translates to "maybe I will hear your voice once again." It's possible that the city is a metaphor for her emotional state, and she is struggling with the feeling of being adrift and alone.
Overall, the lyrics paint a poignant picture of loneliness and uncertainty, but also of hope and a longing for connection.

Θεϊκό τραγούδι ανατριχιαστική ερμηνεία μεγατόνων
@mariagerolimatou9648
Κάθε φορά που το ακούω κλαίω Το καλύτερο τραγούδι της Αννας μας Θα μπορουσε να το τραγουδά ή ανθρώπινη ψυχή που πονά στο Θεό που προσπαθεί να προσεγγίσει λίγο πριν αποδημήσει Τραγικό και Θεικό
@NikosKaplanis
Ένα από τα ωραιότερα τραγούδια,που δεν ακούγεται από τα ραδιόφωνα,όπου αποδεικνύεται στη πράξη ότι αρκετοί τραγουδιστές μας,όταν γράφουν τραγούδια,(όπως ο Κωνσταντίνος),γράφουν ισάξια,καμιά φορά ίσως και καλύτερα από πολλούς συνθέτες!!!! Το τραγούδι είναι αριστούργημα!!!!!
