Kostas Makedonas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Δεν είσαι η μαρινέλλα στο ηρώδειο
Ο κόσμοσ σου να σε χειροκροτά
Να φτάνεισ το τραγούδι σου στο τέλοσ του
Και να σε λέω θεά

Δεν είμ' ο μητροπάνοσ στην ιερά οδό
Λουλούδια να πετάσ με το κιλό
Στα χέρια να χορεύω το ζεϊμπέκικο

Και να με λεσ θεό

Αφού είμαστε δυο άνθρωποι μικροί
Χωρίσ τα στέμματά μασ
Ασ έρθουνε λιγάκι πιο κοντά
Τα στόματά μασ

Δεν έχεισ και τη φωνή τησ εντίθ πιαφ
Δεν είσαι η τζολί μα δεν είμαι κι ο μπραντ
Δεν έχει στρώσει κόκκινο χαλί
Μπροστά μασ η ζωή

Δε θα'μαι ο πρώτοσ έλληνασ στο διάστημα
Κι εσύ η πρώτη μισ πρωθυπουργόσ

Κι αν ήρωεσ αγάπη μου δε γίναμε
Δε γίναμε ευτυχώσ

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Kostas Makedonas's song "Dyo Anthropoi Mikroi" depict a sense of self-awareness and modesty. The singer acknowledges that they are not famous or idolized figures like Marinella, a renowned Greek singer, or Mitropanos, a popular singer in the Greek Orthodox Church. They recognize that they do not have the voice of a nightingale or possess the skills of dancing the zeibekiko, a traditional Greek dance. The lyrics emphasize the notion that both the singer and the person they address in the song are just ordinary individuals.

The chorus conveys the message that both of them are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. They suggest that they should set aside their egos and come closer to each other, symbolically represented by sharing their crowns and closing their mouths. It's a reminder that in the face of life, fame, and achievements, true happiness and connection can be found in simplicity and humility.

Δεν είσαι η μαρινέλλα στο ηρώδειο
You are not Marina in the Herodes Theatre

Ο κόσμοσ σου να σε χειροκροτά
For the world to applaud you

Να φτάνεισ το τραγούδι σου στο τέλοσ του
To reach the end of your song

Και να σε λέω θεά
And to call you a goddess

Δεν είμ' ο μητροπάνοσ στην ιερά οδό
I am not Mitropanos on Iera Odos

Λουλούδια να πετάσ με το κιλό
To throw flowers by the kilo

Στα χέρια να χορεύω το ζεϊμπέκικο
To dance zeibekiko with my hands

Και να με λεσ θεό
And to call me a god

Αφού είμαστε δυο άνθρωποι μικροί
Since we are two little people

Χωρίσ τα στέμματά μασ
Without our crowns

Ασ έρθουνε λιγάκι πιο κοντά
If they come a little closer
