Στα διαμαντένια κύματα τραγούδι να σου πω
Σαν ξαφνιασμένο ήμουν παιδί και πώσ να σου μιλήσω
Με μια καρδούλα που έτρεμε μην πέσει στον γκρεμό
Είναι γεμάτη η σκέψη μου με χρώματα δικά σου
Κι ασ λείπει από το χάρτη μου η λύπη και η χαρά σου
Είναι γεμάτη η σκέψη μου με χρώματα δικά σου
Κι ασ λείπει από τον χάρτη μου η λύπη και η χαρά σου
Φεύγω μακριά πολύ μακριά να σου τηλεφωνήσω
Με τάχα αδιάφορη φωνή τι κάνεισ θα ρωτώ
Θα λεσ το νου σου στο παιδί μα εγώ θα του μιλήσω
Να μάθει πωσ ο έρωτασ πληγώνει και θεό
Είναι γεμάτη η σκέψη μου με χρώματα δικά σου
Κι ασ λείπει από το χάρτη μου η λύπη και η χαρά σου
Είναι γεμάτη η σκέψη μου με χρώματα δικά σου
Κι ασ λείπει από τον χάρτη μου η λύπη και η χαρά σου
Κι ασ λείπει από τον χάρτη μου η λύπη και η χαρά σου
The lyrics to Melina Aslanidou's song "Me Hromata Dika Sou" (With Colors of Your Own) convey a sense of longing and nostalgia. The singer expresses a desire to escape and be far away in order to love the person again. The imagery of "diamond waves" and the intention to sing a song to the beloved is used to convey the depth of the singer's feelings. The singer confesses to feeling like a surprised child, unsure of how to express themselves to the beloved. They carry a trembling heart, fearing it may fall into an abyss.
The chorus emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the thoughts of the beloved. The singer's thoughts are filled with the colors that belong to the beloved, signifying their influence and impact on their life. The absence of sorrow and joy from the singer's map indicates that the beloved's presence is always present, shaping their emotions.
In the second verse, the singer longs to call the beloved from a distance, even with an indifferent voice, just to ask how they are doing. However, they reveal their true intention, which is to bring the beloved's attention to the child and teach them how love can hurt and be divine.
Overall, the lyrics depict a deep yearning to reconnect with a lost love, the overwhelming influence the beloved has on the singer's thoughts, and the desire to impart lessons about love to the younger generation.
