Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mesa stin kardia mu kati ehi allaksi
Kathe vlemma su mu lei
Logia agapimena ke trifera
Sto magiko hali su kalesmeni
Sto giro tu kosmu tha peto
Se paramithi ap' olus ksehasmeni
Paramithenio asteri s' agapo
San magemeni sto fili metho
Paramithenio asteri tha sto po
Erotevmeni proti mu fora
Mporo na horevo sti vrohi
Na tragudo
Ine kati pu m' arpazi
Oles tis esthisis mu filakizi
Stin kardula mu foliazi
Vazi stin agapi hrisa ftera
Sto magiko hali su kalesmeni
Sto giro tu kosmu tha peto
Se paramithi ap' olus ksehasmeni
Ston erota gi afto
Paramithenio asteri s' agapo
San magemeni sto fili metho
Paramithenio asteri tha sto po
Erotevmeni proti mu fora
Mporo na horevo sti vrohi
Na tragudo
