Ine stigmes pou len' ta matia polla.
I monaxia den itan fili kali
Den iha onira, ospou se gnorisa ke zo ap' tin arhi.
Mono gia sena kano onira xana
Mono gia sena diagrafo ta palia.
Edoses hroma se mia aspromavri zoi
Niotho pos ola tha t' allaxoume mazi Tha s' agapo, oso tha zo
Poto, tsigaro, I parea gnosti
Irthes esi san ilios sti sinnefia
Ke me agapises, zoi mou sta prota sou filia Mono gia sena kano onira xana
Mono gia sena diagrafo ta palia.
Edoses hroma se mia aspromavri zoi
Niotho pos ola tha t' allaxoume mazi Tha s' agapo, oso tha zo
Ti zoi mou dino, plai sou na mino Mono gia sena kano onira xana
Mono gia sena diagrafo ta palia.
Edoses hroma se mia aspromavri zoi
Niotho pos ola tha t'allaxoume mazi
The lyrics to Nikos Vertis's song Mono Gia Sena convey a sense of longing and devotion to a beloved person. The first verse implores the listener to extinguish the light and let silence speak, as it is a moment when many eyes are speaking (suggesting a crowded room). The singer then reflects on his loneliness before he met this person, and how he had no dreams until they came into his life, suggesting that he owes everything that he has to them.
The chorus then repeats the phrase "Mono Gia Sena," which means "Only for You" in Greek, suggesting that all his aspirations and desires are only for this person. He promises to dream again, and erase the old memories, and how they have brought color to his life. Despite life's challenges, he commits to loving them for as long as he lives, and how he is happy to suffer as long as he is close to them.
Overall, the song conveys an intense passion and commitment to one special person. It suggests that love can brighten even the darkest of lives, and that the singer is grateful for the love that he has received.

Νίκος Βέρτης - Μόνο για σένα
Σβήσε το φως κι ασ' τη σιωπή να μιλά
είναι στιγμές που λέν' τα μάτια πολλά.
Η μοναξιά δεν ήταν φίλη καλή
δεν είχα όνειρα, ώσπου σε γνώρισα και ζω απ' την αρχή.
Μόνο για σένα κάνω όνειρα ξανά
μόνο για σένα διαγράφω τα παλιά.
Έδωσες χρώμα σε μια ασπρόμαυρη ζωή
νιώθω πως όλα θα τ' αλλάξουμε μαζί.
Θα σ' αγαπώ, όσο θα ζω
τη ζωή μου δίνω, πλάι σου να μείνω.
Πόσες βραδιές είχα σε μένα κλειστεί
πότο, τσιγάρο, η παρέα γνωστή.
Ήρθες εσύ σαν ήλιος στη συννεφιά
και με ανάστησες, ζωή μου χάρισες στα πρώτα σου φιλιά.
Μόνο για σένα κάνω όνειρα ξανά
μόνο για σένα διαγράφω τα παλιά.
Έδωσες χρώμα σε μια ασπρόμαυρη ζωή
νιώθω πως όλα θα τ' αλλάξουμε μαζί.
Θα σ' αγαπώ, όσο θα ζω
τη ζωή μου δίνω, πλάι σου να μείνω.

Only for you
Turn off the light and let the silence to speak
There are moments that the eyes say a lot.
The loneliness wasn’t a good friend
I didn’t have dreams ‘till I met you and I live from the beginning.
I dream again only for you
I erase the past only for you.
You gave colour to a black and white life.
I feel that together we’ll change everything.
I’ll love you as long as I live
I give my life, to stay beside you.
How many nights I wrapped up to myself
Drink, cigarette, the known company
You came like a sun in the cloudy sky
And you resurrected me, you gave me life in your first kisses
I dream again only for you
I erase the past only for you.
You gave colour to a black and white life.
I feel that together we’ll change everything.
I’ll love, as long as I live
i give my life, to stay beside you

I give my life to stay by your side
How many nights had it been closed to me?
Drink cigarettes, the company known
You came like the sun in the clouds
And you resurrected me
You gave me life with your first kisses
Only for you I dream again
I'm deleting the old ones just for you
You gave color to a black and white life
I feel that we will change everything together
