    Hi! I found the lyrics in greek. Badly, it takes to me several hours to translate it in english 'cause I know greek only in part... you know, vocabulary, grammar. Hope that somebody who speaks greek fluently will help you soon!

    Τι να μου κάνει το ποτό
    Ποτέ δεν ήταν αρκετό
    Για να θολώσει το μυαλό
    Να μη θυμάται
    Τι να μου κάνει το ποτό
    Που ένα αντίο σου κοφτό
    Στο μαξιλάρι μου ξυπνάει και κοιμάται

    Γέμισα ένα ποτήρι και το άδειασα
    Ότι θα μου λείψεις τόσο δε λογάριασα
    Τα ‘κοψες τα γόνατά μου
    Άδειασα ένα μπουκάλι και το στράγγιξα
    Έγινε και πάλι στάχτη ό,τι άγγιξα
    Άδειασα την αγκαλιά μου
    Άδειασα την αγκαλιά μου

    Τι να μου κάνει το ποτό
    Όσο κι αν είναι δυνατό
    Ένα λεπτό να σ’ αρνηθώ
    Δε θα με κάνει
    Τι να μου κάνει το ποτό
    Εγώ το πίνω σα νερό
    Μα το φαρμάκι της καρδιάς
    Που να γλυκάνει

    Γέμισα ένα ποτήρι και το άδειασα
    Ότι θα μου λείψεις τόσο δε λογάριασα
    Τα ‘κοψες τα γόνατά μου
    Άδειασα ένα μπουκάλι και το στράγγιξα
    Έγινε και πάλι στάχτη ό,τι άγγιξα
    Άδειασα την αγκαλιά μου
    Άδειασα την αγκαλιά μου

    Nice song

    Hi, χριστινα! After several hours of effort, I'v made the traslation! Hope I didn't make many mistakes!

    Ti na mou kanei to poto ( what should the drink do to me)

    What should the drink do (cause) to (for) me
    Never it was enough (for me)
    To blur my mind
    To not remember
    What should the drink do to me
    In the fact that your curt farewell
    On my pillow wakes up and sleeps

    I filled a glass and I emptied it
    That I’ll miss you so much I didn’t count
    You cut my knees
    I emptied a bottle and I dripped it
    What I touched became ash again
    I emptied my arms
    I emptied my arms


    What should the drink do to me
    However much would it be possible
    Just for one minute to deny you
    It won’t make me do this way
    What should the drink do to me
    I drink it as if I drink water
    But the poison of the heart
    Is to be sweeten.


    I filled a glass and I emptied it
    That I’ll miss you so much I didn’t count
    You cut my knees
    I emptied a bottle and I dripped it
    What I touched became again ash
    I emptied my arms
    I emptied my arms

    Thank you! I understand the words, but sometimes in songs, the poetic license I get lost....

    Thanks again...it really is a beautiful song.
