Λες και δεν υπήρχε εκεί
Εγώ δεν πίστευα σε κάτι κι όλα μια απάτη
Μέχρι που 'ρθες φως μου εσύ
Εσύ σαν ήλιος εσύ σαν φίλος
Να αγκαλιάζεις τη ζωή μου το κορμί μου
Θα 'σαι η φωνή στη σιωπή
Είσαι ό, τι θέλω εγώ και ναι θα το πω
Σε θέλω εδώ μαζί μου ζήσε
Είσαι όσα ψάχνω να βρω μαζί σου πετώ
Μαζί σου ξαναζώ
Είσαι ό, τι θέλω εσύ φωτιά στο φιλί
Φτερά στο κορμί τα πάντα είσαι
Είσαι όλα όσα εγώ ζητούσα να βρω
Να μείνεις πάντα εδώ κοντά μαζί μου
Ζωή μου ψυχή μου μαζί μου
Εγώ σε έψαξα στο χάρτη σ' έρωτες και πάθη
Κι όπου με οδηγούσε η καρδιά
Δεν το περίμενα μα ήρθες κι ένα θαύμα είχες
Μέσα στη δική σου ματιά
Εσύ σαν ήλιος εσύ σαν φίλος
Να αγκαλιάζεις τη ζωή μου το κορμί μου
Θα 'σαι η φωνή στη σιωπή
Είσαι ό, τι θέλω εγώ και ναι θα το πω
Σε θέλω εδώ μαζί μου ζήσε
Είσαι όσα ψάχνω να βρω μαζί σου πετώ
Μαζί σου ξαναζώ
Είσαι ό, τι θέλω εσύ φωτιά στο φιλί
Φτερά στο κορμί τα πάντα είσαι
Είσαι όλα όσα εγώ ζητούσα να βρω
Να μείνεις πάντα εδώ κοντά μαζί μου
Ζωή μου ψυχή μου μαζί μου
The lyrics of Elli Kokkinou's song "Eisai Oti Thelo" express the artist's longing for true love and connection. In the first verse, she reflects on her past mistakes and doubts about love, feeling as if it didn't exist. She didn't believe in anything and saw everything as deception until someone special came into her life.
The chorus proclaims the significance of this person, referring to them as her light, her sun, and her friend. They embrace her life and body, becoming the voice in her silence. This person is everything she desires and needs, and she boldly declares her love for them. They bring fire to her kisses and wings to her body, encompassing everything she has been searching for. With them, she feels alive again and wants them to always stay by her side.
The second verse continues the theme of searching for love, explaining how she looked for it in maps, in different relationships, and in various emotions. Unexpectedly, this person appeared and brought a miraculous feeling. Their eyes hold something special, just like the sun and a friend would. They embrace her life and body, becoming the voice in her silence once again.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing once more that this person is everything she wants and needs. She wants them to live with her, to fly together, and to be the fire in her kisses. They are everything she has been seeking, and she desires for them to always be close to her, as they have become her life and soul.
Overall, "Eisai Oti Thelo" is a song about finding true love and realizing that this person is everything the artist has ever wanted. They bring light, warmth, and fulfillment to her life, and she wants them to be a constant presence by her side, defining her existence and bringing her joy.
