    Η γη όλο γυρίζει ζαλίστηκε όλη η πλάση
    the earth is constantly spinning and the whole cosmos is dizzy
    κι ο νους στριφογυρίζει σε σένα που ‘χω χάσει
    and the mind is going back to you who I have lost

    Με τελείωσες κι ας γινόμουνα για σένα μια ζωή θυσία
    you finished me off even if I sacrificed everything for you all my life *
    με τελείωσες κι έγινε η αγάπη ψέμα και υποκρισία
    you finished me off and love became a lie and hypocrisy

    Η γη όλο γυρίζει μες του πιοτού τη ζάλη
    the earth is constantly spinning in the dizziness of the drink
    τα ολόγλυκα σου χείλη τα πίνω στο μπουκάλι
    your sweet lips I drink from the bottle **

    Με τελείωσες κι ας γινόμουνα για σένα μια ζωή θυσία
    you finished me off even if I sacrificed everything for you all my life *
    με τελείωσες κι έγινε η αγάπη ψέμα και υποκρισία
    you finished me off and love became a lie and hypocrisy

    *"ki as ginomouna gia sena thisia" literally means "even if I was becoming a sacrifice for you", witch, I think, doesn't make sense in English. It is an expression that means "I have sacrificed everything for you"
    ** "to drink someone or someone's body part for that matter is a greek expression used to describe someone's beauty and has an obvious sexual insinuation

    and in latin-greek

    I gi olo girizi zalistike oli i plasi
    ki o nous strifogirizi se sena pou'ho hasi

    me telioses ki as ginomouna gia sena mia zoi thisia
    me telioses ki egine i agapi psema ke ipokrisia

    i gi olo girizi mes stou potou ti zali
    ta ologlika sou hili ta pino sto mpoukali

    me telioses ki as ginomouna gia sena mia zoi thisia
    me telioses ki egine i agapi psema ke ipokrisia
