Haris Alexiou – Apopse Thelo Na Pio
Lyrics’ translation:
I want to drink tonight
so as nothing to remember
I want to trap myself in smoke
and fear no consequences
I want to drink tonight
and surpass my limits
I want to confess my lost dreams
covered in smoke’s veil
I’ll light up with cigarettes and burn out with liquor
Now that I’ve taken fright
may everything turn into ashes
I want to drink tonight
erase everything and everyone
I want to disappear in smoke
and look back never again
Haris Alexiou is not just any greek singer, she’s one of the best examples of the deep, throaty style of Greek Byzantine singing. Above all, she sings about the inner loneliness of human being.
