Den mu ftanis thelo ki allo
Eho provlima su leo
Moni kathome ke kleo
Ke otan lipis, otan lipis
Niotho pos m' enkatalipis
Ke otan fevgis, otan fevgis
Niotho oti m' apofevgis
Ti na kano pes mu se parakalo
Eho provlima megalo
Den mu ftanis thelo ki allo
S' eho ananki pistepse me
To ennoo den ipervallo
Ke oso pio poli se eho
Toso thelo na 'ho ki allo
Ki allo, ki allo
To mono pu zitao ap' ti zoi mu pleon
Ine na eho esena ligaki epipleon
To mono pu zitao tin prosehfi otan kano
Ine na eho esena ligaki parapano
Ke otan lipis, otan lipis
Niotho pos m' enkatalipis
Ke otan fevgis, otan fevgis
Niotho oti m' apofevgis
Niotho oti m' apofevgis
Ti na kano pes mu se parakalo
Eho provlima megalo
Den mu ftanis thelo ki allo
Eho provlima su leo

The song "Ki allo" by Elli Kokkinou is about a woman who is struggling emotionally and is seeking the attention and love of someone else. She expresses that she has a big problem and cannot tolerate being with only one person. She sits alone crying, waiting for the person she desires to come back. She feels abandoned and hurt when they leave, and when they are with her, she is afraid they will leave again. She asks them to please tell her what she can do to keep them with her.
The repetitive chorus emphasizes the emotions she feels when this person leaves her, and how she wishes they would stay. It shows her longing for something more in her life than just this relationship or situation. She yearns for more attention, more love, and more fulfillment than what she is currently receiving.
Overall, "Ki allo" presents a story of a woman who is looking for something more in life, and is feeling emotional pain because those needs are not being met. The lyrics convey feelings of vulnerability, fear, and longing, making it a relatable and emotional song for many listeners.
