Πριν σε γνωρίσω [Prin se gnoriso] [English translation]

Before I meet you I was a sparkle ready to put out

an eye which was keeping the tear in order the wind not to see it and dirty it

difficult solution for people’s easy (things)

and easier loot for all the bums

I was breaking away easily, I was leaving quickly*

I wasn’t receiving a bill, I wasn’t giving a bill**

I was afraid that they will take me for granted

or that I will be imprisoned in the cell of a treacherous (girl)

Before I meet you I was a lipstick on a paper collar

I was sick and disgusted of everything

Before I meet you I was taking nothing seriously

I was never bonded to anything and I was turning away everything

What you didn’t give, give it to me

and what I didn’t give, I’ve kept it for you

For endless nights I was waiting

watch out, don’t find yourself in the bad side of this situation

Before I meet you I was a thorn ready to pierce

cause with all the things I was seeing, I’m telling you, I had been sick

iron that the fire couldn’t bend

tree which letting everything sit on it

(I was) unreliable for reliable (women), a bad groom for credulous brides

paranoia in their reasonable limits

and just like this I thought I was having a great time

but look that I pay now for all these

and beside you, I pay out one by one what I had done

I leave trace on you, nights don’t have ending

and I only ask for unprecedented caresses

What you didn’t give, give it to me

and what I didn’t give, I’ve kept it for you

For endless nights I was waiting

watch out, don’t find yourself in the bad side of this situation

Before I meet you I said I was unsatisfied

almost speechless, impudent and wry

look what happened to me now, you’ve sweetened my mouth

and when you’re not next to me

I become one with the ground (a mess)

I don’t know if I deserve all these

before I meet you, it was sublime for me to be silent

tell me what’s going on here, my soul [my dear] I’ve lost my mind

I also have insecurities, tell me what do you feel for me?

Before I meet you, nothing mattered

vainly I was wandering and vainly I was getting lost

Before I meet you I was able to fit everywhere and nowhere

now I just realized that close to you I’m on fire

What you didn’t give, give it to me

and what I didn’t give, I’ve kept it for you

For endless nights I was waiting

watch out, don’t find yourself in the bad side of this situation
