Άσε τισ παρεξηγήσεισ
Σ' το 'χω πει τόσεσ φορέσ
Μη γυρεύεισ εξηγήσεισ
Μη ζητάσ αναφορέσ

Χρόνια σαν βροχή μεσ στην άδεια μου ζωή
Μη μου φαρμακώνεισ άλλο την ψυχή
Χρόνια ορφανά μεσ στην ίδια γειτονιά

Μη μου φαρμακώνεισ άλλο την καρδιά

Ο καημόσ σου είναι μαχαίρι
Κι η αγάπη σου γυαλί
Κάποια μέρα κάποια ώρα
Θα με κλείσεισ φυλακή

Χρόνια σαν βροχή μεσ στην άδεια μου ζωή
Μη μου φαρμακώνεισ άλλο την ψυχή

Χρόνια ορφανά μεσ στην ίδια γειτονιά
Μη μου φαρμακώνεισ άλλο την καρδιά
