    Default Giorgos Tsalikis Gia Sena Ta Spao

    Mu ftene tosa ki eho gini enas ksenihtis
    Ma stin kardia su ime evesthitos alitis
    Esi mu lipis ke ton kosmo olo hano
    Ke tus dromus pali perno na tin kano

    Gia sena ta spao
    Vathia mu ponao
    Gia sena tis nihtes ti zoi mu ti halao
    Gia sena ta spao
    Se mena ksespao
    Giati horis esena pu na pao

    Den ksero tora metaksi mas ti simveni
    Ke I zoi mu ehi gini mperdemeni
    Ego su dino oti thelis ki omos fevgis
    Na to kseris apo mena den ksefevgis

    Gia sena ta spao
    Vathia mu ponao
    Gia sena tis nihtes ti zoi mu ti halao
    Gia sena ta spao
    Se mena ksespao
    Giati horis esena pu na pao

    Gia sena ta spao
    Vathia mu ponao
    Gia sena tis nihtes ti zoi mu ti halao
    Gia sena ta spao
    Se mena ksespao
    Giati horis esena pu na pao

    [QUOTE=blackfire;647195]Mu ftene tosa ki eho gini enas ksenihtis
    Things annoyed me so much and i became a night owl
    Ma stin kardia su ime evesthitos alitis
    but in your heart i remain a sensitive tramp
    Esi mu lipis ke ton kosmo olo hano
    i miss you and i lose the whole world ( losing things that matter to him etc.)
    Ke tus dromus pali perno na tin kano
    and i take to the streets to start anew

    Gia sena ta spao*
    I break them for you
    Vathia mu ponao
    deep down i m hurting
    Gia sena tis nihtes ti zoi mu ti halao
    for you at nights i make my life go stale
    Gia sena ta spao
    i break them for you*
    Se mena ksespao
    into myself i erupt
    Giati horis esena pu na pao
    because without you where am i to go

    Den ksero tora metaksi mas ti simveni
    i dont know whats going on between us now
    Ke I zoi mu ehi gini mperdemeni
    and my life has become complicated
    Ego su dino oti thelis ki omos fevgis
    i give you whatever you want though you are leaving
    Na to kseris apo mena den ksefevgis
    but bear in mind that you wont get away from me


    *does not mean literally breaking anything but that means like he is going out partying everynight, living it up etc. its an idiom.

    Enjoy!

    It is an idiom, yes, but I think that here it's actually literal, meaning the actual action of breaking, just not the breaking of whatever, but dishes, as it is a unique custom in Greece, exactly in the cases you described, like when someone goes out to have fun, to live it up and so on.

    A relative video on youtube with breaking dishes scenes:
    YouTube - Breaking dishes at a Greek restaurant in Buenos Aires

    A relative article from Go Greece:
    Smashing Plates in Greece - The origins of the custom of breaking dishes

    ...and another one from answers.yahoo.com:
    What is the meaning of breaking dishes in that Greek dance?

    This is where the modern expression "Τα σπάει-ta spaei" is derived, describing something or someone very succesful.

    Best regards,

    Alexander
