Filippos Pliatsikas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ξεκάθαρα βλέμματα που έχω θολώσει
Ελεύθερες σκέψεις που έχω πληρώσει
Ατέλειωτα όνειρα που έχω σκοτώσει
Μα έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με φοβάσαι
Έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με λυπάσαι
Έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με φοβάσαι
Πολλές οι αλήθειες και μ' έχουν στριμώξει
Πολλά και τα ψέματα μα δε μ' έχουν γλυτώσει
Χιλιάδες ταξίδια που δεν έχω τελειώσει
Αμέτρητα όνειρα που έχω προδώσει
Μα έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με φοβάσαι
Έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με λυπάσαι
Μα έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με φοβάσαι
Μα έχω κι άλλα πολλά μη με λυπάσαι
