Το κάτι [To Kati] [English translation]

I don't care how expensive your watch is

I don't care if you have a lot of money

Nor do I care how many chicks you've dated1

Or if you've got two cell phones

I don't care if you're an expert in bed

I don't care if you never get tired

I don't care if you've got a flashy Mercedes or a convertible BMW2

I don't care if you've got an athletic body

I don't care if you're sought after

Nor do I care if there's a myth surrounding your name,

Well, you know, if it's about size...3

Mmm...

I don't care if you've gotten your ears pierced

I don't care if you've gotten tattoos

I don't even care if you're hiding aces up your sleeve

Or if you've got turquoise eyes

Because you don't have, because you don't have

That 'something' that I want

That would make me go crazy enough to want you.

I don't care if you smoke cigars while you drink

I don't care if you come from a noble background

Nor do I care if your dark suit is Armani4

Or if you've got a block of cheques

I don't care if you make the others tremble

I don't care if they recognise you wherever you go

It's not as if you're the prime minister

It's not as if you're Schinas5

Because you aren't, because you aren't

That 'something' that I want

That would make me go crazy enough to want you.

I don't care if you've got a good deal of power

And if you use your influence in the government

I don't care if every night you go home with a new woman

Or even if you have some fun with two friends6

I don't care if you've got your name on the piazza

Or if your stock portfolio is as strong as one of Sophocles' plays

I don't care if your arms are ripped and you've got an American Express card

Because you're missing that thing I'm searching for

But not a single one of you has it, and I've gotten bored with you

All men are the same, you promise the skies and stars7

But nobody has that thing that I'm always searching for:

That 'something' that I want

That would make me go crazy enough to want you

That 'something', the 'something', the 'something'
