Gia tis ores pu sto stoma me filages
Gia to esthima pu kapote niosame
Ke gia ekina pu pote den teliosame
Ego niotho, ego niotho
Nostalgia stin kardia mu
Pu den ise pia konda mu
Ke istera as telioso
Nostalgia stin kardia mu
Pu den ise pia konda mu
Nostalgia na se nioso
Ke istera as telioso
Pali idromeni mes ston ipno mu petagome
Pali ton idio efialti apopse vlepo
Pali sto tiho i skia su diagrafete
Ke i leptodihtes sto roloi tis kardias mu
Stamata me
Gia ta vradia pu sta matia me kitages
Gia tis ores pu sto stoma me filages
Gia to esthima pu kapote niosame
Ke gia ekina pu pote den teliosame
Ego niotho, ego niotho
Nostalgia stin kardia mu
Pu den ise pia konda mu
Nostalgia na se nioso
Ke istera as telioso
Nostalgia stin kardia mu
Pu den ise pia konda mu
Nostalgia na se nioso
Ke istera as telioso
Nostalgia, nostalgia
Nostalgia, nostalgia
Gia ta vradia pu sta matia me kitages
Gia tis ores pu sto stoma me filages
Gia to esthima pu kapote niosame
Ke gia ekina pu pote den teliosame
Ego niotho, ego niotho
Nostalgia stin kardia mu
Pu den ise pia konda mu
Nostalgia na se nioso
Ke istera as telioso
Nostalgia stin kardia mu
Pu den ise pia konda mu
Nostalgia na se nioso
Ke istera as telioso

The song "Nostalgia" by Anna Vissi is a reflection on a past love that still lingers in the singer's heart. The lyrics are filled with longing and memories of moments shared with this person. The first stanza talks about the different times and experiences that the singer associates with this love. They mention the nights where they were lost in each other's eyes, the hours where they shared intimate moments, and the feeling that they once had when they were younger that they have yet to recapture. The second stanza repeats the line "Nostalgia stin kardia mu" which means "Nostalgia in my heart." It's a simple, yet powerful way to emphasize the pervasive hold that this person and their memories have on the singer. They also mention that they still miss this person and hope that they can eventually conclude this chapter of their life.
The bridge of the song, which is repeated throughout, talks about how the singer keeps reliving this bygone romance over and over again. They mention that they have trouble sleeping because they're always dreaming about their past lover. They also describe how this person's shadow still haunts them, and the ticking of the clock inside their heart doesn't seem to slow down. The last stanza returns to the same descriptions from the first, emphasizing that the singer can't seem to let go of these memories.
Overall, this song is a heartfelt confession of undying love and longing for the past. It speaks to anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak and found it difficult to move on.
