Ime Anthropos Ki Ego ("I'm a Human Too") was the Cypriot entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 in Dublin performed by Evridiki Theokleous in her second appearance in three years.

Cyprus was initially going to be relegated from the 1994 edition due to finishing in the bottom seven (19th out of 25) in 1993, however as Italy withdrew from the 1994 contest their place was given to Cyprus.

A plea for worldwide peace, it was performed fourth on the night, following Ireland and preceding Iceland. At the close of voting, it finished in 11th place with 51 points.

Mera giortini den perimeno narthei
San mia Kyriaki pou den choraei
Ti frikti mou ti siopi
Na me xypnisei m’ ena athanato fili
Nychta foteini, kai pali tha se krypsoun
Tremeis san paidi mipos s’ anakalypsoun
Vazeis ti stoli na min s’ angixoune
Ta pos kai ta giati

Anthropos ki ego, ki apopse tha fonaxo
Anthropos ki ego, varethika, th’ allaxo
Anthropos ki esy, pou ‘cheis sta cheria ti diki mou ti̱ zoi
Kai prin prolavo na sou po pos s’ agapo
Me skotoneis, ma eimai anthropos ki ego

Ki otan to proi mes ston kathrefti
Tha fovamai na me do, min me fonaxo psefti
Ta simadia tha roto an ekana ola afta
Pou eicha sto myalo

Anthropos ki ego, ki apopse tha fonaxo
Anthropos ki ego, varethika, th’ allaxo
Anthropos ki esy, pou ‘cheis sta cheria ti diki mou ti̱ zoi
Kai prin prolavo na sou po

Pos eimai anthropos ki ego
Ena kommati ap’ ton idio ton diko sou to Theo
Ki echo dikaioma na klaio, na gelao, na pono
Kato ap’ ton idio ourano pou alloi petane, na peto
Ma eimai anthropos ki ego

Ki echo sta cheria ti diki sou ti zoi
Kai prin prolaveis na mou peis pos m’ agapas
Se skotono

Giati me eimai anthropos ki ego
Eimai anthropos ki ego

I don’t wait for a special day
Like a Sunday which doesn’t
Fit my awful silence
To wake up with an immortal kiss
A shiny night, you’ll get hidden again
You shake as a boy in case they discover
You put on the uniform so that
No how’s and why’s can touch you

I’m a person too, and I will shout tonight
I’m a person too, I’m fed up, I’ll change
You’re a person too, you’ve got my own life in your hands
And before I manage to tell you that I love you
You kill me, but I’m a person too

And when in morning in the mirror
I’ll be afraid to look at myself, in case I call myself a liar
I’ll be asking if I made all these marks
I had in mind

I’m a person too, and I will shout tonight
I’m a person too, I’m fed up, I’ll change
You’re a person too, you’ve got my own life in your hands
And before I manage to tell you that

I’m a person too
A piece of the same God of yours
And I’m entitled to cry, to laugh, to feel pain
Below the same sky where others fly, I’ll fly
But I’m a person too

And I have your own life in my hands
And before you manage to tell me you love me
I kill you

Because I’m a person too
I’m a person too
