Μια ιστορία από παλιά
Mia istoria apo palia
A story from the past
Άγγιξε τα βάθη της καρδιάς
Angixe ta vathi tis kardias
Touched the depths of the heart
Ως τα μύχια της ψυχής
Os ta mychia tis psychis
To the core of the soul
Κι ένωσε δυο ανθρώπους.
And united two people.
Πόση αγάπη, πόσα όνειρα
Posi agapi, posa oneira
How much love, how many dreams
Κάναμε μαζί και χωριστά
Kaname mazi kai chorista
We made together and apart
Στα δωμάτια τα σκοτεινά
Sta domatia ta skoteina
In the dark rooms
Κλαίγαμε κι οι δυο
Klaigame ki oi dyo
We both cried
Για τον ίδιο πόνο.
For the same pain.
Με τα μάτια της ψυχής
Me ta matia tis psychis
With the eyes of the soul
Σε κοίταζα για ώρες
Se koitaza gia ores
I looked at you for hours
Μέσα από τα όνειρα
Mesa apo ta oneira
Through dreams
Σε έβρισκα κοντά μου.
I found you near me.
Κι όταν ξημέρωνε η αυγή
Ki otan ximerone i avgi
And when dawn broke
Μου έλειπες και πάλι
Mou eleipes kai pali
I missed you again
Μα η αγάπη στην καρδιά
Ma i agapi stin kardia
But the love in my heart
Δεν έσβησε ούτε στιγμή
Den esvise oute stigmi
Didn't fade for a moment
Ψυχούλα μου, πονάς
Psychoula mou, ponas
My dear soul, you hurt
Το ξέρω, μ' αγαπάς
To xero, m' agapas
I know, you love me
Κι ας μη μιλάς, το νιώθω
Ki as mi milas, to niotho
And even if you don't speak, I feel it
Μέσα απ' τη σιωπή σου.
Through your silence.
Θα βρίσκομαι εδώ
Tha vriskomai edo
I will be here
Να γιατρεύω τις πληγές
Na giatrevo tis pliges
To heal the wounds
Να σου κρατώ το χέρι
Na sou krato to cheri
To hold your hand
Να σε παίρνω αγκαλιά.
To hold you in my arms.
Μέχρι να ξεπεράσουμε
Mechri na xeperasoume
Until we overcome
Μαζί ό,τι μας πονά
Mazi o,ti mas pona
Together whatever hurts us
Γιατί μια τέτοια αγάπη
Giati mia teloia agapi
Because such a love
Δεν τελειώνει έτσι απλά.
Doesn't just end.
Κι αν μας χώρισαν οι δρόμοι
Ki an mas chorisan oi dromoi
And if paths separated us
Κι αν μας λύγισαν οι χρόνοι
Ki an mas lygisan oi chronoi
And if time bent us
Μια υπόσχεση παλιά
Mia yposchesi palia
An old promise
Ζει ακόμα στην καρδιά.
Still lives in the heart.
Δεν ζητάω υποσχέσεις

I don't ask for promises
Ούτε λόγια δυνατά
Oute logia dynata

Μόνο να ξέρεις πως υπάρχω
Mono na xereis pos yparcho
Just for you to know that I exist
Και θα είμαι πάντα εδώ.
And I will always be here.

An kourasteis, ela konta
If you get tired, come close
Μη φοβηθείς τα δάκρυά σου
Mi fovitheis ta dakrya sou
Don't be afraid of your tears
Θα βρεις μια θέση στην καρδιά
Tha vreis mia thesi stin kardia
You will find a place in my heart
Και μια αγκαλιά δική σου.
