Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
και μοιάζω μαγεμένη
το τέλος βλέπω να′ρχεται
και νιώθω τρομαγμένη
αγόρι μου στα μάτια σου
όλη τη γη θα κλείσω
θα πέσω μέσα να χαθώ
θα πιω για να μεθύσω
Κράτα το χέρι μου και πάμε
τη νύχτα εγώ δε τη φοβάμαι
κι αν ξημερώσω στο φιλί σου
χαλάλι που έμεινα μαζί σου...
Μέσα στ'άσπρο σου πουκάμισο
φτερούγισε η καρδιά σου
φοβάται τα παράλογα
κι αυτή τη μοναξιά σου
κλείσε τα μάτια αγάπη μου
απόψε και φαντάσου
πως όσο θέλεις κι όσο ζεις
εγώ θα′μαι κοντά σου...
Κράτα το χέρι μου και πάμε
τη νύχτα εγώ δεν τη φοβάμαι
κι αν ξημερώσω στο φιλί σου
χαλάλι που έμεινα μαζί σου
κι αν ξημερώσω στο φιλί σου
χαλάλι που έμεινα μαζί σου

Τι με κοιτάς που τραγουδώ
Why are you looking at me while I am singing?
και μοιάζω μαγεμένη
And I look enchanted
το τέλος βλέπω να′ρχεται
I see the end coming
και νιώθω τρομαγμένη
And I feel scared
αγόρι μου στα μάτια σου
In your eyes my love
όλη τη γη θα κλείσω
I would close the whole world
θα πέσω μέσα να χαθώ
I will fall inside and get lost
θα πιω για να μεθύσω
I will drink to get drunk
Κράτα το χέρι μου και πάμε
Hold my hand, let's go
τη νύχτα εγώ δε τη φοβάμαι
I am not afraid of the night
κι αν ξημερώσω στο φιλί σου
And if I wake up to your kiss
χαλάλι που έμεινα μαζί σου...
It's worth it that I stayed with you
Μέσα στ'άσπρο σου πουκάμισο
In your white shirt
φτερούγισε η καρδιά σου
Your heart fluttered
φοβάται τα παράλογα
It is afraid of the irrational
κι αυτή τη μοναξιά σου
And your loneliness
κλείσε τα μάτια αγάπη μου
Close your eyes my love
απόψε και φαντάσου
Tonight and imagine
πως όσο θέλεις κι όσο ζεις
That as much as you want and as much as you live
εγώ θα′μαι κοντά σου...
I will be close to you
κι αν ξημερώσω στο φιλί σου
And if I wake up to your kiss
χαλάλι που έμεινα μαζί σου
It's worth it that I stayed with you
