Lyrics[]
Mazi ego ki esy, choris skepsi polli
Makrya as petaxoume, kai ela na kanoume
Ti nychta apopse giortini
Apopse as vrethoume
Se kosmous xenous makrynous
Apopse as charoume
Tis ores pou pernoun, kai piso den gyrnoun
Apopse as vrethoume
Se kosmous xenous makrynous
Apopse as charoume
Tis ores pou pernoun, kai piso den gyrnoun
Mazi ego ki esy, protou o ilios vgei
Ti nychta as zisoume, ki ela n’ afisoume
Tis egnoies gi’ avrio to proi
Apopse as vrethoume
Se kosmous xenous makrynous
Apopse as charoume
Tis ores pou pernoun, kai piso den gyrnoun
Fevgei i zoi mas toso viastika
Mazi as ti charoume, protou na ein’ arga
Apopse as vrethoume
Se kosmous xenous makrynous
Apopse as charoume
Tis ores pou pernoun, kai piso den gyrnoun
Apopse as vrethoume
Se kosmous xenous makrynous
Apopse as charoume
Tis ores pou pernoun, kai piso den gyrnoun
Me and you together, without any second thoughts
Let’s fly far away and turn
This night into a celebration
Let’s meet tonight
And go to strange distant world
Let’s enjoy tonight
The time that passes, and never comes back
Let’s meet tonight
And go to strange distant world
Let’s enjoy tonight
The time that passes, and never comes back
Me and you together, before the sun rises
Let’s live the night and leave
The problems for tomorrow morning
Let’s meet tonight
And go to strange distant world
Let’s enjoy tonight
The time that passes, and never comes back
Our life passes so quickly
Let’s enjoy it together before it’s too late
Let’s meet tonight
And go to strange distant world
Let’s enjoy tonight
The time that passes, and never comes back
Let’s meet tonight
And go to strange distant world
Let’s enjoy tonight
The time that passes, and never comes back
