Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Και με τυραννάσ
Κι όλα μου σου φταίνε
Κι όλα τα γελάσ
Τα μαύρα κοροϊδεύεισ
Κι αν βάλω μπλε ζηλεύεισ
Τι να θέλεισ να φορέσω
Αμάν αμάν
Πεσ μου τι ζητάσ
Αμάν αμάν
Για να μ'αγαπάσ
Θα σου παραγγείλω
Γυάλινο μπαξέ
Μια και σε πειράζουν
Όλα μου καλέ
Τα μαύρα κοροϊδεύεισ
Κι αν βάλω μπλε ζηλεύεισ
Τι να θέλεισ να φορέσω
Μη σε στεναχωρέσω
Αμάν αμάν
Πεσ μου τι ζητάσ
Αμάν αμάν
Για να μ'αγαπάσ
