Pare Me Apopse Pare Me
Glykeria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Μα η αλήθεια σώζει
Κι η μόνη αλήθεια είσαι εσύ
Η πιο γλυκιά ανταμοιβή
Εδώ οι κακίεσ ντύνονται
Λευκό αγγέλου ντύμα
Πάρε με απόψε πάρε με
Και σε περιμένω
Τσιγάρο αναμμένο
Και σε περιμένω
Στην αγκαλιά σου να σωθώ
Λυσσομανάει ο άνεμοσ
Μα ο άνεμοσ δεν ξέρει
Πωσ το κορίτσι που θα ‘ρθει
Την άνοιξη θα φέρει
Και σε περιμένω
Τσιγάρο αναμμένο
Και σε περιμένω
Σαν ακρογιάλι θα ανοιχτώ
Και σε περιμένω
Τσιγάρο αναμμένο
Και σε περιμένω
Πάρε με απόψε πάρε με
Στα μαγικά φτερά σου
Βάλε με απόψε με βάλε με
Μέσα στην αγκαλιά σου
The first verse of the song talks about how lies rain down, but the truth is what saves. The only truth the singer desires is the person she is addressing, who she considers to be the sweetest reward. The second verse describes a world where wickedness dons the costume of white angels, and the singer asks to be taken tonight by the warm wave of love. The chorus repeats the lines “And I’m waiting for you, cigarette lit, and I’m waiting for you, to be saved in your embrace.”
The second verse furthers the idea that while the wind may be howling with fury, it does not know that the person that will bring happiness in the future is the singer’s love interest. The chorus repeats once more with the added line “Like a seashore, I will open up,” implying that she will give herself and her entirety to this person. The song concludes with a final plea for the person she loves to take her with him on the magical wings he possesses.
The lyrics of “Pare Me Apopse Para Me” express a deep longing and desire for someone specific, and the singer conveys vulnerability in her words. It's an emotional and romantic piece of music, sung in a traditional Greek style.

It rains lies
but the truth saves
and the only truth is you
the sweetest reward
Here the wicked are clothed
white angel dress
take me tonight take me
hot love wave
Waiting for you
lit cigarette
waiting for you
in your arms to be saved
The wind is raging
but the wind does not know
how the girl will come
in the spring it will bring
Waiting for you
lit cigarette
waiting for you
I will open like a beach
Waiting for you
lit cigarette
waiting for you
take me tonight take me
in your magic wings
put me tonight put me
in your arms
