Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Svino ta dakria apto mialo
me apofevgis ke zitas na mi milo
na xehaso ton palio mou eafto
Den boro na se kitazo
Ke ton cosmo na alazo
An esi den me afinis
Oh, oh
Na se onirefto cardia mou
Oh, oh
Na se onirefto...
Efhome na kseres cardia
Ego den zitisa polla
Ma echi kolisi to mialo mou sovara
Aptin magiki galazia sou matia
Den boro na se kitazo
ke ton kosmo na allazo
an esi den me afinis
na se onirefto
Oh, oh
Na se onirefto cardia mou
oh, oh
Na se onirefto...
(bridge)
Mena sou fili moro mou tha apogiotho
Oh, oh
Tha apogiotho cardia mou
Oh, oh
Tha apogiotho...
Den boro na se kitazo
Ke ton kosmo na allazo
an esi den me afineis
Na se onirefto
Oh, oh
Na se onirefto cardia mou
Oh, oh
Na se onirefto
The lyrics to Secret Band's song "O Palios Mou Eaftos" depict a sense of longing and yearning for a past version of oneself. The opening lines, "Kathe fora pou se kito / Svino ta dakria apto mialo," translate to "Every time I see you / I swallow tears from my brain." The singer then continues to express a desire to forget their old self and not speak of it, but they recognize that they cannot change unless the person they are longing for allows them to.
The chorus emphasizes this desire for connection and acceptance with the lines, "Oh, oh / Na se onirefto cardia mou," which translate to "Oh, oh / I want to dream of you, my heart." The singer hopes that this person will let them in and allow them to dream of a future together. However, they acknowledge that they cannot force this person to accept them, as seen in the line "Den boro na se kitazo / Ke ton cosmo na alazo / An esi den me afinis / Na se onirefto," which translates to "I cannot look at you / And change the world / If you don't let me in / I can't dream of you."
Overall, "O Palios Mou Eaftos" is a song about the longing for acceptance and change, but ultimately recognizing that change cannot happen without the permission of others.
