Lilys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Βόσκει κάτω στη λιακάδα
Μικρά χόρτα και μεγάλα
Για να κατεβάσει γάλα
Να το κάνουμε τυράκι
Να το κάνουν βουτυράκι
Να το βάλουνε στο πιάτο

Line by Line Meaning
I don't know where you're going
I am uncertain of the direction you are headed
But I know I wanna go with you
But I am absolutely sure that I want to accompany you
And if you ain't doing nothing
And if you do not have any plans or engagements
Then I'm gonna do nothing too
Then I will not engage in any activities either
This world can get a little crazy
This world can be chaotic at times
At times, it leaves me so confused
I often become bewildered and disoriented during these periods
But if there's one thing I'm sure of
However, one thing I know without a doubt
I know I wanna be with you
Is that I want to be with you
Oh I know I wanna be with you
I am fully convinced that I want to be with you
There's so much in my head that don't make any sense
I have a lot of confusing thoughts in my mind
But I know I wanna be with you
Despite this, I am certain that I want to be with you
I might not know what love is
I may not have a concrete understanding of love
But I know the way I feel inside
But I am aware of the emotions that I experience within
And you don't have to say nothing
You do not have to vocalize anything
'Cause these are feelings that we just can't hide
Because these emotions are impossible to conceal
You're making me a little crazy
Your actions are causing me to feel somewhat unhinged
With every little thing that you do
Due to every small action you perform
But if there's one thing I'm sure of
Despite this, there is one thing that I am confident about
I know I wanna be with you
And that is my desire to be with you
I was in a dark, dark place
I was going through a very difficult and depressing phase
Until you came to light up the way
Until you appeared and illuminated my path
Everybody's leaving this town
Many people are departing from this place
But if you are here, I'm gonna stay
However, if you are present, then I will remain here as well
Oh I know, I know I wanna be with you
I am certain that I want to be with you
I know, I know I wanna be with you
I am absolutely positive that I want to be with you
I know I wanna be with you
I am confident that I want to be with you
