Κάμπος το φιλί σου
Στάχυα τα μαλλάκια σου
Ήλιος το κορμί σου
Κι αν τρεις φορές με αρνηθείς
Εγώ άλλες τρεις θα σε ζητήσω
Στην πύλη σου κάποιος ληστής
Μου κλέβει όσα σου χαρίζω
Δάκρυα τρέχουνε άγρια στο πρόσωπό μου
Ίχνη αφήνουνε μισώ τον εαυτό μου
Που δεν σε άγγιξα αυτή την άγρια νύχτα
Ξέφυγες απ' τα δικά μου δίχτυα
Δάκρυα τρέχουνε άγρια στο πρόσωπό μου
Ίχνη αφήνουνε μισώ τον εαυτό μου
Που δεν σε φίλησα εκεί στη τρέλα επάνω
Και χωρίς φιλί σου θα πεθάνω
Ξενιτιά τα μάτια σου
Το χαμόγελό σου
Γλάροι τα χεράκια σου
Κύμα το φευγιό σου
Κι αν τρεις φορές με αρνηθείς
Θα κουβαλήσω τον σταυρό μου
Μα αν στην αγάπη αφεθείς
Θα είσαι το πολύτιμό μου
Δάκρυα τρέχουνε άγρια στο πρόσωπό μου
Ίχνη αφήνουνε μισώ τον εαυτό μου
Που δεν σε άγγιξα αυτή την άγρια νύχτα
Ξέφυγες απ' τα δικά μου δίχτυα
Δάκρυα τρέχουνε άγρια στο πρόσωπό μου
Ίχνη αφήνουνε μισώ τον εαυτό μου
Που δεν σε φίλησα εκεί στη τρέλα επάνω
Και χωρίς φιλί σου θα πεθάνω
Ξενιτιά το σώμα σου
Κάμπος το φιλί σου
The lyrics of Melina Aslanidou's song "Dakria" express deep emotions of longing, regret, and unfulfilled love. The singer laments the distance and separation between herself and her beloved, using vivid imagery to convey the intensity of her feelings. The mention of the body, kiss, hair, and sun symbolize the physical and emotional aspects of the loved one, highlighting the depth of their connection. Despite being rejected three times, the singer vows to continue seeking the beloved, showing a determination and resilience in pursuing love.
The recurring motif of tears running wild on the singer's face signifies the pain and sorrow she feels for not being able to be with her beloved. She expresses self-hatred for not being able to touch or kiss the beloved during a wild night, feeling like she has lost control over her own feelings and desires. The theme of escapism is also present, as the beloved seems to have escaped from the singer's grasp, leaving her feeling lost and alone.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the agony and self-blame the singer experiences for not being able to fully express her love and passion. The desperation and longing are palpable as she declares that she will die without the beloved's kiss, showing the consuming nature of her love and the importance of physical intimacy in their relationship. The imagery of eyes, smile, hands, and departure further portray the depth of her love and the emptiness she feels in the absence of the beloved.
The final verses of the song bring a sense of acceptance and devotion, as the singer declares her willingness to carry her cross and cherish the beloved if they choose to surrender to love. The repeated reference to tears and self-hatred reflects the internal turmoil and conflict within the singer, who is torn between her desires and the reality of separation. The song overall conveys a poignant message of unrequited love, longing, and the pain of missed opportunities in a relationship.

Ξενιτιά το σώμα σου
Foreign land is your body
Κάμπος το φιλί σου
Field is your kiss
Στάχυα τα μαλλάκια σου
Wheat grains are your little hairs
Ήλιος το κορμί σου
Sun is your body
Κι αν τρεις φορές με αρνηθείς
And if you deny me three times
Εγώ άλλες τρεις θα σε ζητήσω
I will ask for you three more times
Στην πύλη σου κάποιος ληστής
At your gate someone thief
Μου κλέβει όσα σου χαρίζω
Steals from me what I give you
