Tha 'Se Opou Ime
Elli Kokkinou Lyrics

The song "Tha 'Se Opou Ime" by Elli Kokkinou is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain and loneliness of unrequited love. The opening lines "Tin porta de chtypaei kanis, kanis pio monos apo mena monaksia" (No one's knocking on the door, no one's more alone than me in this loneliness) sets the tone for the song's main message. The singer is consumed by a deep feeling of love for someone who does not reciprocate, and despite knowing they will never return, they cannot help but hold on to their love.

The chorus "Tha s' agapo gia aftes tis nyktes pou mou harises, tha s' agapo ki an allo dromo tora charaxes" (I will love you for those nights you gave me, I will love you even if you go down a different path) emphasizes this point, highlighting the enduring nature of the singer's love, even in the face of rejection. The lyrics also reveal the singer's state of mind, with lines such as "Kai afou den eisai pia edo, allazei tis zoi's to hroma skoteino" (And since you're not here anymore, life's color turns dark), showing how the absence of the object of their love has left them in a state of despair.

Overall, "Tha 'Se Opou Ime" is a moving portrayal of the anguish of unrequited love and the struggle to let go of those we love, even when they do not return our affections.
