Xartaetos
Elli Kokkinou Lyrics

The song "Xartaetos" by Elli Kokkinou is a beautiful and poetic representation of the emotions related to a failed relationship. The lyrics speak of colourful papers that the singer holds in her hands and uses to mend her broken heart and build her dreams. She calls for the North Wind to come and join her, but she doesn't want to be alone. The image of the heart as a paper kite that flies when the wind blows, and falls to the ground and breaks when the love is not reciprocated, is a powerful metaphor for the ups and downs of love. The singer sees her lover and their embrace as her sky and their powerful kisses as the wind that carries her excitement and passion. She wishes never to cry and always to fly with her happiness.

The singer, Elli Kokkinou, has a powerful and emotive voice that conveys the melancholy, longing, and hope of the song. The music is a beautiful combination of traditional Greek and modern Western sounds that create a unique and captivating melody. The overall effect is a song that is both nostalgic and contemporary, honest and poetic.
