    Hi,

    I can help with Nino, Erota Mou.
    I requested it myself.... :-)

    Here it comes:



    Erota mou (Nino)

    Ti tha mporousa na sou po gia na pistepseis
    einai mikro to s'agapo monaxa dyo lekseis
    an thn agaph moy aisthantheis to ksero pos tha fovitheis
    auto pou zoume tora emeis den eimai thn stigmis

    Na perigrapso pos mporo toses eikones
    mou exoun gemisei to myalo kai meiname thamones
    se exo agapisei san theo s'ena diko mou ourano
    tha s'anevaso gia na deis to poso s'agapo

    Erota mou agapi mou zoi
    kai aparaititi mou anapnoi
    an tha borousa na ekfrasto
    me skepseis mesa apo to myalo
    fovamai kai to omologo tha tromaza kai ego

    Otan sto vlemma sou statho m' anastatoneis
    floges m'anaveis sto kormi me kais me teleioneis
    mes sta taksidia tis vradias ta oneira mou kyvernas
    eisai sto stithos mou esy o xtypos tis kardias



    Erota Mou by Nino

    What could I tell you so you'd believe
    "I love you" is too small, only three [two in the original] words
    If you feel my love
    I know that you'll be afraid
    What we are living now is not momentary

    How can I describe so many images
    That have filled my mind
    And stayed there permanently?
    I've loved you like God, in my own sky
    I'll raise you up so you'll see how much I love you

    CHORUS
    My passion, my love, life
    And my necessary breath
    If I could express myself
    With thoughts from my mind
    I'm scared that, and I'll admit it,
    I'd be frightened too

    When I'm under your gaze, you shake me up
    You light fires on my body, you burn me, you finish me
    In the night's journeys
    You rule my dreams
    You are the beating of my heart in my chest

    CHORUS

    first of all you rock does not translate into greek word for word but for the same meaning you can say: ise telia!

    I think it's really funny how some form of the word agapi appears in pretty much every single Greek song! The Greeks might be taking over the French or Italian romance haha
