Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sa steries pou kapote itan ena
Sa nisia oi zoes mas horista
Pos na taksidepso os esena
Pos na ′rtheis edo horis pania

Kathenas monos tou
Nisi tou, o kosmos tou
Vradiase agapi mou
S' oli ti gi
Spane sta kimata
Karavia adinama
THalassa agapi mou
Oli i zoi

Anthropoi - nisia sti gi demena
Dentra pou ligizei i monaksia
Matia pou sinithisan sta ksena
Grammata pou emeinan kleista

Kathenas monos tou
Nisi tou, o kosmos tou
Vradiase agapi mou
S′ oli ti gi
Spane sta kimata
Karavia adinama

THalassa agapi mou
Oli i zoi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Ta Nisia by Mario Frangoulis paint a picture of islands (nisia) that have a special significance in our lives. These islands represent moments in time, memories of our past, and the people that we have become because of them. The first verse talks about the stories and the lives that are now divided, represented by the separation of the islands. The singer then laments how he can't travel to these islands because they can only be reached by the lover who made them special.


The second verse describes the islands as being fixed in the earth, as if they have roots, and how our lives are the same. The singer sees the islands as a metaphor for our souls, where we have grown our roots and become the person that we are meant to be. The islands are full of secrets and symbols of the past, like trees that reach up to the sky or a mysterious note that remained forever sealed.


Overall, the song is about the way that we experience life, through the memories that we create and the people that we meet. The islands represent the moments and the memories that we treasure most and are a part of our lives forever.

Σα στεριές που κάποτε ήταν ένα
Σα νησιά οι ζωές μας χωριστά
Πώς να ταξιδέψω ως εσένα
Πώς να 'ρθείς εδώ χωρίς πανιά

Καθένας μόνος του
Νησί του, ο κόσμος του
Βράδιασε αγάπη μου
Σ' όλη τη γη
Σπάνε στα κύματα
Καράβια αδύναμα
Θάλασσα αγάπη μου
Όλη η ζωή

Άνθρωποι - νησιά στη γη δεμένα
Δέντρα που λυγίζει η μοναξιά
Μάτια που συνήθισαν στα ξένα
Γράμματα που έμειναν κλειστά

Καθένας μόνος του
Νησί του, ο κόσμος του
Βράδιασε αγάπη μου
Σ' όλη τη γη
Σπάνε στα κύματα
Καράβια αδύναμα
Θάλασσα αγάπη μου
Όλη η ζωή

Καθένας μόνος του
Νησί του, ο κόσμος του
Θάλασσα αγάπη μου
Όλη η ζωή



@blimunda21

Like lands that once were joined
Like islands, our lives separated
How can I travel to you
How can you come here without sails

Everyone is alone
His world an island
Night has fallen, my love
Upon the whole earth

The waves break
weak ships
Like the sea, my love
is our life♥

No idea what he is singing about, but his voice, OMG. One of the best vocalists of the last decade as far as i'm concerned

@eugenia_b73

Εγω αγαπω ολα τα τραγουδια του... ξενα, Ελληνικα, οπερα, jazz... ολα! Περισσοτερο απο απλως ταλαντουχος, Ο Μαριος νομιζω οτι ειναι ο καλυτερος που υπαρχει...

@christoforia

Οι όμορφοι στίχοι δένουν τέλεια με την υπέροχη ταξιδιάρικη μουσική. Αν έπρεπε να διαλέξω μόνο ένα,
από τα τραγούδια του Μάριου που μου αρέσουν, πιθανόν να ήταν αυτό!
