Vasilis Karras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
παραδέχομαι όταν φταίω
δεν οφείλω, δεν χρωστάω
κι αν με χρειαστείς, βοηθάω
στα τόσα προτερήματά μου
Έχω μόνο ένα ελάττωμα
Να Αγαπάω τα λάθος άτομα
σαν την πληγωμένη μου Ελλάδα
Είμαι έντιμος στις σχέσεις
πάντα με καλές προθέσεις
Τίμιος μα και αλήτης
και νομοταγής πολίτης
στα τόσα προτερήματά μου
Έχω μόνο ένα ελάττωμα
Να Αγαπάω τα λάθος άτομα
Και πονάει η καρδιά μου, η ρημάδα
σαν την πληγωμένη μου Ελλάδα
In "Agapo Ta Lathos Atoma," Vasilis Karras sings about his flaws as a person. He admits that he never tells lies and takes responsibility when he is at fault. He also claims to be honest in his relationships and always has good intentions. Karras identifies himself as a law-abiding citizen and is always ready to help someone in need. He is proud of the many virtues he possesses. However, despite all these positive qualities, he admits to one shortcoming - he loves the wrong people. Karras' heart aches for these individuals, much like his beloved Greece that has also been hurt in some way.
The repetition of the phrase "Να Αγαπάω τα λάθος άτομα" (To love the wrong people) is a reflection of the singer's struggle to break free from this particular flaw. The pain he feels from loving the wrong people is similar to the anguish he feels for his country. The use of the word "ρημάδα" (wretched) to describe his heart reinforces the severity of the hurt he feels. Karras acknowledges that despite all his good qualities, his love for the wrong people continues to be his downfall.
Overall, "Agapo Ta Lathos Atoma" is a heartfelt look into one man's struggle to overcome his personal flaw. It highlights the importance of acknowledging one's weaknesses, even when surrounded by their virtues.

Vasílis Karrás - I Love the Wrong People (lyrics EN)
I never lie
I admit when I'm guilty
I do not owe, I do not owe
And if you need me I help
Let me have so many advantages
I only have one flaw
I love the wrong people
And my heart aches the rhyme
Like my wounded Greece
I only have one flaw
I love the wrong people
And my heart aches the rhyme
Like my wounded Greece
I am honest in relationships
Always with good intentions
Sir but also a vagrant
And a law-abiding citizen
Let me have so many advantages
I only have one flaw
I love the wrong people
And my heart aches the rash
Like my wounded Greece
I only have one flaw
I love the wrong people
And my heart aches the rash
Like my wounded Greece
I only have one flaw
I love the wrong people
And my heart aches the rhyme
Like my wounded Greece
💙💙💙
