To Lathos
Melina Aslanidou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Έμειναν τα όνειρα μισά
Στέγνωσε ξανά το δάκρυ μέσα στην ψυχή
κι έγινε αλμύρα στην πληγή.
Θέλω να σου πω αντίο, όμως δεν μπορώ
μένω μές στο λάθος μου να ζω
ό, τι μου ζήτησες δίνω κι ένα σου ζητώ
Σ' ανταμώνω στα κρυφά
εκεί στα σκοτεινά, γεννιέμαι στα φιλιά
Σε αγγίζω μια φορά, εκεί στο πουθενά
και χάνομαι μετά.
Να ξέρεις, όλη τη ζωή μου δίνω, σώμα και ψυχή
φτάνει πάλι να `μαστε μαζί
Σε θέλω, δε με νοιάζει που πηγαίνω
ούτε που θα βγει
Είσαι εσυ το τέλος μου κι αρχή.
Μόνη στης ζωής την άκρη
ψάχνω στο ποτό
Ένα παραμύθι να πιαστώ
κι ένα τηλεφώνημά σου, έτσι ξαφνικά
μ' έσωσε ακόμα μια φορά.
The lyrics to Melina Aslanidou's song "To Lathos" speak of a person who is alone at the edge of life and whose dreams have been left half-complete. The tears inside their soul have dried up, becoming salt in their wounds. They want to say goodbye but cannot leave their mistakes behind, and are still living in them. They give everything they have, including their body and soul, to be with the person they love, even if they don't know where they are going or what the future holds. They are searching for a fairytale in a drink and are saved once again by a sudden phone call.
The song speaks about the importance of love and deep connections in life, even in the face of difficulties and mistakes. It also touches on the themes of loneliness, loss, and the need for forgiveness and understanding.

The mistake
Εκδόσεις: #1#2#3
Alone in life's corner, yet again
My dreams are left half way
My tear again dried out in my soul
and became salt to my wound.
I want to say goodbye, but I can't
I remain in this mistake to live
anything you ask for I will give and one I request
come and I will live again
I meet you in secret
there in the dark, I am reborn with kisses
I touch you one time, there in nowhere
and I get lost thereafter.
You should know, I give you all my life, body and soul
just to be together again
I want you, I don't care where I am going
or where it will lead
You are my end and my beginning.
Alone in life's corner
I seek in my drink
a story to hold on to
and one phone call, surprisingly
saved me one more time.

Here's the English form:
Alone on the side of life once again
The dreams become half
The tears dried inside the soul again
and they became salt in the wound
I want to say goodbye, but I can't
I'm living inside my mistake
I give you whatever you ask for and I ask you for one thing
for you to come and for me to live again
I secretly meet you
there in the dark, I get born in the kisses
I touch you once, out of nowhere
and I get lost
You know, my whole i've given body and soul
it's enough to be together again
I want you, I don't care where I'm going
or where it's going
You are my end and my beginning
Alone on the side of life
I'm searching in drink
A fairytale to hold onto
and a phone call from you, suddenly
saved me once again.
I secretly meet you
there in the dark, I get born in the kisses
I touch you once, out of nowhere
and I get lost
You know, my whole i've given body and soul
it's enough to be together again
I want you, I don't care where I'm going
or where it's going
You are my end and my beginning
You know, my whole i've given body and soul
it's enough to be together again
I want you, I don't care where I'm going

Όλοι κάποια στιγμή στη ζωή μας είπαμε "δεν μπορώ να ζήσω χωρίς εσένα " ή "δεν θα σε ξεχάσω ποτε". Όντως δεν ξεχνάς πότε αλλά ζεις. Και ζεις φυσιολογικά γιατί συνηθίζεις την απουσία μαθαίνεις να ζεις έτσι. Και πιστέψτε με όταν μάθεις να ζεις με την απουσία και να επιστρέψει δεν το θες.

Δεν έχω ερωτευτεί, δεν έχω αγαπήσει. Δεν ξέρω καν πως είναι να νιώθεις αυτό το συναίσθημα της ανάγκης.
Αλλά Μελίνα, κάθε φορά που ακούω αυτό το τραγούδι, ανατριχιάζω. Τέτοια είναι η δύναμη..
@Erika-ou1jk
Αυτό είναι το αγαπημένο μου τραγούδι! Νιώθω απέραντη ευγνωμοσύνη που είναι ερνηνευμένο από την καλύτερη γυναικεία φωνή της Ελλάδας! Μελινάκι μου γλυκό σου άξιζε μια τέτοια διαχρονική επιτυχία!
