Apo tin proti matia
Apo to proto fili su
Gia mena egines fos
Ki ego gia panta diki su

Eftihismeni

Ki ime mazi su poli

Erotevmeni giati
S' afto to grizo urano
Ise i liakada mu esi
Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati
Mazi su ego ksanazo
Ta panta ap' tin arhi

Ta panta ap' tin arhi, ta panta ap' tin arhi

To iha di monaha
Sto cinema san tenia
Den fantazomun pote
Na ziso tetia istoria

Eftihismeni

Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati
S' afto to grizo urano
Ise i liakada mu esi
Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati
Mazi su ego ksanazo
Ta panta ap' tin arhi

Ta panta ap' tin arhi, ta panta ap' tin arhi

Ta panta, ta panta, ta panta ap' tin arhi

Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati
S' afto to grizo urano
Ise i liakada mu esi
Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati
Mazi su ego ksanazo
Ta panta ap' tin arhi

Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati
S' afto to grizo urano
Ise i liakada mu esi
Ki ime mazi su poli
Erotevmeni giati

Mazi su ego ksanazo
Ta panta ap' tin arhi
