Galazia Limni
Mario Frangoulis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Μπορεί μια σπίθα που ήρθε μόνο για να κάψει
Να σε τυλίξει σαν κισσόσ και να κοιτάξει
Πώσ γίνεται έξαφνα ένασ άνθρωποσ μισόσ
Πώσ γίνετα άνθρακεσ που λεν ο θησαυρόσ
Είν' η καρδιά μια γαλάζια λίμνη
Περνάει η χαρά μ' αργυρά κουπιάΜα σαν τη μάτωσαν πορφυρό καμίνι
Κι αυτό που νόμιζαν δεν είσαι πια
Μα σαν τη μάτωσαν πορφυρό καμίνι
Κι αυτό που νόμιζαν δεν θα 'σαι πια
Δεν είναι οι ώρεσ που μου φάνηκαν αιώνεσ
Ενώ μικρέσ του ωκεανού ήταν σταγόνεσ
Υπάρχουν άγραφοι κι αόρατοι κανόνεσ
Που κάνουν έξαφνα το θέλω μακρινό
Ποτέ δεν έπιασε το λίγο ουρανό
Είν' η καρδιά μια γαλάζια λίμνη
Περνάει η χαρά μ' αργυρά κουπιά
Μα σαν τη μάτωσαν πορφυρό καμίνι
Κι αυτό που νόμιζαν δεν είσαι πια
Μα σαν τη μάτωσαν πορφυρό καμίνι
Κι αυτό που νόμιζαν δεν θα 'σαι πια
The lyrics of Mario Frangoulis's song "Galazia Limni" convey a deeper meaning beyond the surface level. The song talks about how things that appear beautiful and shiny are not always as they seem. It compares these things to a spark that comes only to burn you, wrapping you up like ivy, and leaving you feeling like half a person. It questions how someone can suddenly become a half person and compares them to coals that claim to be treasure.
The chorus, "Eínai i kardía mia galázia límni" (The heart is a blue lake), uses a metaphor to describe the heart as a serene body of water. It talks about how joy floats on silver oars, but when it is stained with purple soot (symbolizing pain and disappointment), what was believed to be true is no longer the case.
The second verse reflects on the illusion of time, how even though something may seem infinite, it is just a small drop in the ocean. It mentions the existence of unwritten and invisible rules that suddenly make desires seem distant, and how the sky is never reached by those who aspire for just a little.
Overall, the song speaks to the complexities of life and human emotions. It reminds us to be cautious of appearances and not to be deceived by external beauty. It also emphasizes the importance of introspection and understanding the true nature of our hearts.

While they were drops in the ocean
Υπάρχουν άγραφοι κι αόρατοι κανόνες

What shines is not always fiery gold
Could only be a small spark that will burn you
That will cover you like ivy and will then reveal
How a person can suddenly be torn in two
How a real treasure can turn into black coal
Our heart is like turquise waters
and joy passes by with silver oars
But if they make it bleed,it turn into a burning kiln
and what they thought of you, will never be again
It's not the hours that suddenly seemed like centuries
Like tiny drops from an ocean
There are unwritten and undefined rules
That suddenly force our needs into the distance
as though they never even touched the sky
Our heart is like turquise waters
and joy passes by with silver oars
But if they make it bleed,it turn into a burning kiln
and what they thought of you, will never be again
