someone....

Τι άλλο θέλεις πια
what else do you want
δεν είναι αρκετά
isn't enough
όσα σου δίνω εγώ
all i give you
(egoista)
και αν δώσω πιο πολλά
and if i give more
δεν φτάνουν ούτε αυτά
not even those are enough
δεν φτάνω ούτε εγώ
i'm not enough either
(egoista)

ξέρεις πόσο σε θέλω
you know how much i want you
μην μου με γκρινιάζεις
don't whine on me
ό,τι λες είναι ψέμα
whatever you say is a lie
λες πως μου δίνεις πιο πολλά
you say that you give me many things
καί δεν παίρνεις κάτι απο μένα
and you take nothing from me
άσε τις κλάψες
forget about the crying
εγώ είμαι εγώ και αυτό δεν αλλάζει
i am who i am and this doesn't change
egoista με λένε
they call me egoista
και ό,τι κι αν πεις δεν με τρομάζεις
and whatever you say you don't scare me

ζήσε στον δικό σου κόσμο μονάχος
live in your own world alone
κόσμο που τα πάντα βλέπει για λάθος
a world that sees everything wrong
όλα θα τα βρείς μπροστά
you will find everything in front
αυτό που δίνεις παίρνεις
you take what you give
egoista

ego ego ego egoista ego ego ego egoista

μου λες θα είσαι εκέι
you tell me you'll be there
αγάπη αληθινή
true love
μα μόνο λόγια λες
but are only words
(egoista)
τον χρόνο δε θα βρείς
you won't find time
εσύ για σένα ζείς
you live for yourself
δεν είμαι αυτό που θες
i'm not what you want
(egoista)

εγώ ξέρω τι νιώθω
i know what i feel
και τι ‘ναι αυτά που λεώ
and what are the things i say
στον δικό μου το κόσμο μια θέση
in my own world a situation
υπάρχει αν δεν προλάβεις δεν φταίω
exists if you don't prevent its not my fault
έλα εδώ κοντά μου
come here near me
μες στην αγκαλιά μου
in your embrance
πάντα εμένα θα κοιτάζω
i'll always look at myself
και δεν αλλάζω
and i don't change

ζήσε στον δικό σου κόσμο μονάχος
κόσμο που τα πάντα βλέπει για λάθος
όλα θα τα βρείς μπροστά
αυτό που δίνεις παίρνεις egoista

ego ego ego egoista ego ego ego egoista

όλα θα τα βρείς μπροστά
you will find everything in front
τα λάθη τα σωστά
the mistakes the right things
πληγές και λέξεις γέλια λύπες και τη μοναξιά
wounds and words laugh sorrows and the loneliness
τότε θα θυμηθείς όσα έχεις κάνει
then you will remember all you have done
σ’ ένα κόσμο σε γυαλί ζήσε εσύ
you live in a world of glass

*egoista in spanish means selfish

For those who would like to sing a long; here are the lyrics in phonetic (for I couldn't find them myself ):

(Tamta)
Ti allo theleis pia
Den einai arketa
Osa sou dino ego
Egoista
Kai an doso pio polla
De(n) ftanoun oute avta
De(n) ftano oute ego
Egoista


(Isaias)
Ksereis poso se thelo
Min mou me griniazeis
O, ti les einai psema
Les pos mou dineis pio polla
Kai den pairneis kati apo mena
Ase tis klapses
Ego eimai ego kai avto den allazei
Egoista me lene
Kai o, ti ki an peis den me tromazeis[/i]


(Tamta)
Zise ston diko sou kosmo monaxos
Kosmo pou ta pada vlepei gia lathos
Ola tha ta vreis brosta
Avto pou dineis pairneis egoista

Ego-, ego-, ego-, ego-, ista (x2)

Mou les tha eisai ekei
Agapi alithini

Egoista
Ton xrono de tha vreis

Egoista


(Isaias)
Ego ksero ti niotho
Kai ti 'nai avta pou leo
Ston diko mou to kosmo mia thesi
Yparxei an den prolaveis den fteo
Ela edo koda mou
Mes stin angkalia mou
Pada emena tha koitazo
Kai den allazo


(Tamta)
Zise ston diko sou kosmo monaxos
Kosmo pou ta pada vlepei gia lathos
Ola tha ta vreis brosta
Avto pou dineis pairneis egoista

Ego-, ego-, ego-, ego-, ista (x2)

Ola tha ta vreis brosta
Ta lathi ta sosta
Pliges kai lekseis gelia lypes kai ti monaksia
Tote tha thymitheis osa exeis kanei
S' ena kosmo se gyali zeise esy

Zise ston diko sou kosmo monaxos
Kosmo pou ta pada vlepei gia lathos
Ola tha ta vreis brosta
Avto pou dineis pairneis egoista

Ego-, ego-, ego-, ego-, ista (x8)


Some notes:

* In Greek, the 'ν' (n) in 'δεν' (den) is unpronounced rather often. Offically, from what I've been told (I'm Dutch, so everything I know from the Greek language is from music and Greek friends), it's still written with the 'n', but in everyday life, both in speech and pronounciation, it is not used anymore. That's why I've put it inbetween '( )'
* The 'x' used in these phonetics is the Greek letter 'χ' (chi; also known as 'h'), which sounds like the Scottish 'ch' (in Loch Ness)
* The original song is sung by Belinda (ft. Pitbull), a Spanish-Mexican singer, from her album "Carpe Diem", see: (I prefer Tamta's version SO MUCH MORE, though )

* The word 'egoista', however, derives from the Greek word 'εγώ' (ego), which means 'I' (which, through the Latin language, has been spread around Europe, and beyond), so that it is a word in several languages right now (Dutch: egoïst, English & Swedish: egoist, Italian, Polish: egoista, Spanish: egoísta, etc.

Anyhow, I hope someone might find this usefull.

So proud of this jongen!
