    Title: Opa
    Lyrics: Yianni Antoniou - Friends
    Music: Yiorgo Alkaios




    Έκαψα το χθες,
    I burnt the past
    νύχτες μου παλιές,
    my old nights,
    θρύψαλα οι αναμνήσεις έγιναν κι αυτές
    memories also, became shivers

    Μνήμες και φωνές
    Memories and voices
    άδικες ευχές
    unfair wishes
    κι άφησα σε μια γωνία
    and I left in a corner
    ανοιχτές πληγές
    open wounds.

    Έκαψα το χθες
    I burnt the past
    νύχτες μου παλιές
    my old nights,
    όνειρα και εφιάλτες ρίχνω στις φωτιές
    I'm throwing into flames, dreams and nightmares

    Δάκρυα καυτά
    hot tears
    ψέμματα πολλά
    (and) too much lies
    μοιάζουν σα βουβή ταινία
    seem like a silent movie
    που δεν βλέπω πια
    that I watch no more

    Βάζω μια φωτιά σ'όλα τα παλιά
    I set a fire to all past events
    όλα θα τ'αλλάξω και θα το φωνάξω
    I'll change everything and I'll scream that:
    περασμένα ξεχασμένα
    what's past is forgotten
    κι όλα απ'την αρχή ξανά
    and everything restarts once again

    Έκαψα το χθες,
    I burnt the past
    νύχτες μου παλιές,
    my old nights,
    κι από το μηδέν αρχίζω
    I start from zero point
    όσο κι αν δε θες
    even if you don't want me to

    Δάκρυα καυτά
    hot tears
    ψέμματα πολλά
    (and) too much lies
    πλήρωσα όσο χρωστούσα
    I payed what I owed
    και τα δανεικά
    and had lent

    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
    You will never find that life for which you are looking.
    When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
    but life they retained in their own keeping"
