Olo fevgis ki ego den se ftano
San maheri girnas stin pligi
Me ponas ma ti na kano
Gia mia fora tha 'prepe ego na eho figi makria su
Gia mia fora na min afiso tin kardia mu sti skia su
Gia mia fora tha 'prepe ego gia horismo na su milao
Den se niazi i diki mu zoi
Den to vlepis pos pao na pethano
San maheri girnas stin pligi
Me ponas ma ti na kano
Gia mia fora tha 'prepe ego na eho figi makria su
Gia mia fora na min afiso tin kardia mu sti skia su
Gia mia fora tha 'prepe ego gia horismo na su milao
Na se miso ki ohi akoma san treli na s' agapao
The lyrics in Elli Kokkinou's song Gia Mia For A are about a person who is feeling emotionally broken and lost without their partner. The first verse talks about how the person is in pain, feeling lost without their partner and doesn't even know what to do.

The chorus expresses the main desire of the person in the song. They wish they could have one more chance to be with their partner, to be able to distance themselves from each other and talk things through. They are willing to split the difference and not go completely crazy in their love, but they want to feel that their partner is still a part of their life. The bridge talks about how empty the person's life would be without their partner if they were to die, highlighting the importance of their relationship.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of sadness and longing for a lost love. The person wants another chance to make things right and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.

You hurt me without a reason
You go away all the time and i don’t reach you
You turn like a knife in the wound
You hurt me, but what can i do
For once i should go away from you
For once to not leave my heart in your shadow
For once i should talk to you about separation
To hate you and not to love you like crazy

Born in paradise. I'm SO proud to be Greek. Greece, the birthplace of Western Civilization. We have a rich culture, deep religion, and gorgeous islands. There's no place on earth that matches the majesty of Greece. WTF am I doing in the U.S.? Time to go back to paradise. There's no life here. Viva HELLAS!

@#DaMaster D4L4I Tosks are not Ilyrians bro, Illyrians were Rmanized and spoke Latin and Ilyrians were not ethnic group but tribes, with tribal identity. Most of the Ilyrian tribes were in in teritory of former Yugoslavia and were assimilated by Slavs. So I do not see what is your point?
