η ζήλεια σε κάνει να λες κουβέντες τρελές
Δεν υπάρχει άλλη, δεν υπάρχει άλλη
εσύ 'σαι η αγάπη μου η μεγάλη
Λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
Λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
εγώ θα σ' αγαπώ
Τα μάτια σου είναι δυο σπίθες που βάζουν φωτιές
η ζήλεια σε κάνει να λες κουβέντες τρελές
Δεν υπάρχει άλλη, δεν υπάρχει άλλη
εσύ 'σαι η αγάπη μου η μεγάλη
Λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
εγώ θα σ' αγαπώ
Λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε

Λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε

λέγε ό,τι θες, λέγε
εγώ θα σ' αγαπώ
The lyrics of Vasilis Karras's song Ke Pao Pao speak of a jealous lover who speaks crazy words and threats, while the singer's lips drip poison. Despite all of this toxicity, the singer is steadfast in their love and affirms that the person is their one and only great love. The repetition of "lege oti thes" (say whatever you want) emphasizes the singer's commitment to love despite the negativity being expressed by the other person. The comparison of the person's eyes to sparks that light fires suggests that their jealousy is intense and possibly dangerous.
Overall, the song deals with the theme of toxic love and the power dynamics that can arise from jealousy. It also emphasizes the singer's willingness to overlook the other's flaws and negativity in order to maintain their love. Musically, the song is upbeat and danceable, creating a potentially jarring contrast with the dark lyrics.
