Prepi
Elli Kokkinou Lyrics

The song "Prepi" by Elli Kokkinou is a heart-wrenching ballad that delves into the pain of letting go of a loved one. The first verse paints a picture of the singer preparing to fly away ("Apopse tha ftiakso ftera gia na petakso") and leave behind the person they love ("Tha figo makria su se mia kseni gi"). The second line of the verse reveals that the pain of separation is too much to bear alone and it will linger, even if the singer is far away from their loved one ("Simveni o ponos na meni panta monos").

In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they must move on and live in a different world ("Ma prepi s' allo kosmo na ziso"). They must let go of their attachment to their current love and find a new one ("Prepi s' alli gi na taksidepso / Ke se alli agapi na pistepso"). However, the pain of leaving someone they loved for so long is not easily forgotten.

The second verse is a continuation of the first, with additional details ("Valitses ki antio o horismos gia dio"). The singer expresses their love for the person they are leaving behind ("Tha figo makria su omos s' agapo"). But again, the inevitability of time and distance is a constant reminder that they must move on ("Simveni o hronos na ine ehthros ke monos / Tha ertho mia mera ki isos se ksanado").

Overall, "Prepi" explores the conflicted emotions of love and loss. The singer knows they must move on, but their love for their current partner still lingers. The pain of letting go is palpable throughout the song.
