[Ρεφρέν
[Refren
[Chorus
Ελένη, Ελένη, γλυκιά μου Ελένη,
Eleni, Eleni, glykia mou Eleni,
Eleni, Eleni, my sweet Eleni,
η Θεσσαλονίκη σε περιμένει!
i Thessaloniki se perimenei!
Thessaloniki is waiting for you!
Άσε την Αθήνα, έλα μια βραδιά,
Ase tin Athina, ela mia vradia,
Leave Athens, come one night,
να πιούμε στην αγάπη μας κρασί και αγκαλιά.
na pioume stin agapi mas krasi kai agkalia.
to drink wine and embrace in our love.
Φινάλε – με συναίσθημα
Finale – me synaisthima
Finale - with emotion
Απ' την Αγία Βαρβάρα ως τον Βαρδάρη,
Ap' tin Agia Varvara os ton Vardari,
From Agia Varvara to Vardaris,
η αγάπη μας ποτέ δεν θα σε πάρει…
i agapi mas pote den tha se parei…
our love will never take you...
Ελένη, άκου την καρδιά που σε καλεί,
Eleni, akou tin kardia pou se kalei,
Eleni, listen to the heart that calls you,
η Θεσσαλονίκη θέλει να σε δει!
i Thessaloniki thelei na se dei!
Thessaloniki wants to see you!
Lines explained
“η Θεσσαλονίκη σε περιμένει!”
i Thessaloniki se perimenei!
Thessaloniki is waiting for you!
Thessaloniki is a major city in Greece, indicating the singer's location and perhaps implying a long distance from Athens where Eleni is.
“Απ' την Αγία Βαρβάρα ως τον Βαρδάρη,”
Ap' tin Agia Varvara os ton Vardari,
From Agia Varvara to Vardaris,
Agia Varvara and Vardaris are specific locations within Thessaloniki, emphasizing the singer's connection to the city and perhaps suggesting the breadth of his love within it.
“η αγάπη μας ποτέ δεν θα σε πάρει…”
i agapi mas pote den tha se parei…
our love will never take you...
This line is a bit ambiguous; it could mean 'our love will never take you away from us' (i.e., from Thessaloniki) or 'our love will never take you for granted/away from me'. Given the context of calling her to Thessaloniki, the former seems more likely, implying their love is rooted there.
