Words: Nikos Vaxavanelis Music: Panagiotis Brakoulias Again the dawn caught me, Wasted,drunk half -myself I touch the things you left Hugging, caressing and kissing them. Tell me where to look for you, In the empty bottle? In the sigarette smoke I’m looking for you, I am dying without you, I can't live like that! I crush the glass I hold I bled for you and split in two ... This night I forgot my name I forgot who I am , I am drunk Only one thing I did not forget It is your face, when you said "I love you" Many thanks to George Vaxavanelis for help !!! Πάλι τα χαράματα με βρίσκουν λιώμα μεθυσμένο και μισό πράγματα δικάσου να αγγίζω ν' αγκαλιάζω, να χαιδεύω, να φιλώ.. Πες μου πού να ψάξω να σε βρώ μέσα στο μπουκάλι τ' αδειανό μέσα στου τσιγάρου το καπνό σ' αναζητώ.. Χάνομαι μακρία σου δεν μπορώ σπάω το ποτήρι που κρατώ μάτωσα για σένανε και κόπηκα στα δυό.. Ξέχασα κι απόψε τ' όνομα μου ξέχασα ποιός είμαι απ' το ποτό μόνο ένα πράγμα δεν ξεχνάω το πρόσωπό

Whore In The Soul - Πουτάνα Στην Ψυχή (Lyrics translation)

Lyrics: Panagiotis Mandiliaris Music: Dimitris Paraskevopoulos Nikos Economopoulos – “Tha Eimai Edo” 2011 Lies, hypocrisy and selfishness Are the features of your faulty and cheap nature. Lies, hypocrisy and a guilty soul Make you one of the ten plagues. It would be less shamefull If you sell your empty body thousand times, Thousand times you could be a real hooker, But you're the worst one, because You are the whore in the soul Lies, hypocrisy and selfishness Everything, unfortunately, was hidden inside you. Your life without God and gratitude Does not deserve neither pity no respect. Many thanks to Eirini Eusebi for her help with the translation! Ψέμα και υποκρισία και εγωισμός ο δικός σου χαρακτήρας σκάρτος κι φθηνός. Ψέμα και υποκρισία, ένοχη ψυχή μέσα στις πληγές τις δέκα άλλη μια κι εσύ. Χίλιες φορές να πούλαγες το άδειο σου κορμί λιγότερη για σένα θα ένοιωθα ντροπή. Χίλιες φορές να ήσουνα μια πόρνη αληθινή μα είσαι το χειρότερο, πουτάνα στην ψυχή.

Words: Vangelis Karatzanos Music: Vasilis Daramouskas Nikos Economopoulos – “Tha Eimai Edo” EMI (2011) Don’t try to find me in the lie and emptiness Don’t try to find me in the hugs for no reason Don’t try to find me in the things I have given you Don’t try to find me in what can hurt you Look for me in the mirror of your own eyes In the hidden paths of the night In the mirror of the tears in your eyes Look for me in the mirror of your own eyes In the hidden paths of the night In the silence of the nights Don’t try to find me in the moment you don’t deserve Don’t try to find me in the twisted thoughts Don’t try to find me in the feelings that have gone Don’t try to find me among those who betrayed you Look for me in the mirror of your own eyes In the hidden paths of the night In the mirror of the tears in your eyes Look for me in the mirror of your own eyes In the hidden paths of the night In the silence of the nights Many thanks for the help to Eirini Eusebi!!!

Music : Georgos Sabanis Words: Eleni Giannatsoulia Nikos Economopoulos “Tha Eimai Edo” 2011 If you are the midnight for the big dreams You will find roses on the stairs near the wide opened door And if I will waste away because of love I change my oath: In front of you I'll throw away the souvenirs on the road Will you take me along, will you love me, or my life is a struggle? Either I am always in your embraces, or my life's in ruins! Chorus Tell me, where will you take me to, will you take me to the stars? Or, may be, you get lost and I'll be in pain! Tell me you'll love me or you're armed with knives? . Will you live for me or you are going to leave me? And if it happens that you appear walking in my dream - Step softly, I would say, for not to wake me up To tell the truth I'm afraid of love - I have not forgotten the wave, but I don't remember the ships.

Nikos Economopoulos (2011) Music: Christodoulos Siganos Words: Christodoulos Siganos & Valentino The equation of life is nostalgia And I feel nostalgic about the moments with you But I look back at our story And don’t hold bad things in my memory Chorus: I forgive you, my sweet love Look, we did not make it The loneliness is painful, really, But I wish you the best I forgive you, my sweet love We had wandered the wrong way The loneliness is painful, really, But I wish you the best I am afraid that one day we will meet each other By chance I'll see you , What really we'll feel- who knows, And if we will feel, then I say again Chorus. Original lyrics: Εξίσωση ζωής η νοσταλγία κι εγώ στιγμές μαζί σου νοσταλγώ, μα έχω ξαναδεί την ιστορία, γι' αυτό λοιπόν κακία δεν κρατώ. Καλή καρδιά, αγάπη μου γλυκιά, κοίτα που δε μας βγήκε τελικά, ειλικρινά πονάει η μοναξιά μα εσύ να 'σαι καλά. Καλή καρδιά, αγάπη μου γλυκ
