Yparchoun stigmes pou se nika o fovos ki i amfivolia
Moiazei o kosmos echthrikos adiavati i nychta kai krya
Ma sto vradino ton ourano to diko sou asteri psaxe vres
Giati oi skies sto proto fos moiazoune fovies paidikes
Ma sto vradino ton ourano to diko sou asteri psaxe vres
Giati oi skies sto proto fos moiazoune fovies paidikes
Yparchoun stigmes pou niotheis pos pote de tha ta katafereis
Asimantos noiotheis kai mikros pou pas kai poios eisai den xereis
Ma sto vradino ton ourano to diko sou asteri psaxe vres
Giati oi skies sto proto fos moiazoune fovies paidikes
Ma sto vradino ton ourano to diko sou asteri psaxe vres
Giati oi skies sto proto fos moiazoune fovies paidikes
Ftiaxe ena kipo mystiko vres kouragio ki enthousiasmo
Chamogela i zoi s’ opoion echei pisti ki antochi
Ftiaxe ena kipo mystiko vres kouragio ki enthousiasmo
Chamogela i zoi s’ opoion echei pisti ki antochi
Ma sto vradino ton ourano to diko sou asteri psaxe vres
There are moments that fear and doubt win you
The world seems hostile and the night impassable and cold
But in the evening sky, search and find your own star
Because the shadows in the first light seem to be childish phobias
But in the evening sky, search and find your own star
Because the shadows in the first light seem to be childish phobias
There are moments that you feel you’ll never manage it
You feel unimportant and small, you don’t know where you go and who you are
But in the evening sky, search and find your own star
Because the shadows in the first light seem to be childish phobias
But in the evening sky, search and find your own star
Because the shadows in the first light seem to be childish phobias
Make a secret garden, find courage and enthusiasm
Life smiles to anyone who has faith and stamina
Make a secret garden, find courage and enthusiasm
Life smiles to anyone who has faith and stamina
But in the evening sky, search and find your own star
