Πώς θες να αρχίσω,
τι να προσπαθήσω
για μένα να πω,
κύματα χίλια σ’ έναν εαυτό.
Μέσα στη δίνη
ψάχνω γαλήνη
κι αγάπη να βρω,
κράτα με εσύ ασφαλή
σε έναν κόσμο σκληρό.
Με ένα δικό σου φιλί
κάθε φόβο βαθιά μου να άλλαζα,
να μην έχω ψυχή σαν άγρια θάλασσα.
Πες μου εσύ σ’ αγαπώ
τον ανίκητο να υποκρίνομαι
και το ιδανικό για σένα να γίνομαι.
Εγώ γεννήθηκα στα κύματα,
όλη η ζωή μου συναισθήματα.
Να με ημερέψεις μες στα χέρια σου,
μέσα στα καλοκαίρια σου.
Εγώ γεννήθηκα άγρια θάλασσα
κι όμως στο χάος μου σε διάλεξα,
να με ημερέψεις στην αγάπη σου,
τριαντάφυλλο κι αγκάθι σου,
να’ μαι εγώ…
Πώς να συνεχίσω,
τι να προσπαθήσω για μένα να πω,
που είμαστε ίδιοι βαθιά εσύ κι εγώ.
Σε έψαχνα όταν νύχτα ερχόταν σαν κρύο νερό,
κράτα μου εσύ στην άμμο έναν
πύργο αληθινο.
Εγώ γεννήθηκα στα κύματα,
όλη η ζωή μου συναισθήματα.
Να με ημερέψεις μες στα χέρια σου,
μέσα στα καλοκαίρια σου.
Εγώ γεννήθηκα άγρια θάλασσα
κι όμως στο χάος μου σε διάλεξα,
να με ημερέψεις στην αγάπη σου,
τριαντάφυλλο κι αγκάθι σου,
να’ μαι εγώ…
Lyrics Translation:
How do you want me to start?
What can I try to say about myself?
A thousand waves, all in one self
In the vortex
I’m looking to find peace and love
Keep me safe in a tough world
With a kiss of yours
If I only could change every fear deep inside me
so I won’t have a soul like wild sea
Tell me “I love you”
(and I’ ll) pretend to be invincible
and I’ ll become the ideal for you
I was born in the waves
My whole life is emotions
Mollify me in your arms
In your summers
I was born as a wild sea
And yet, within my chaos, I chose you
to mollify me in your love
To be your rose and thorn
How do I carry on?
What can I try to say about myself?
That you and I are the same deep inside
I was looking for you
when the night was flowing like cold water
Hold me on the sand, in a real castle
With a kiss of yours
If I only could change every fear deep inside me
so I won’t have a soul like wild sea
Tell me “I love you”
(and I’ ll) pretend to be invincible
and I’ ll become the ideal for you
I was born in the waves
My whole life is emotions
Mollify me in your arms
In your summers
I was born as a wild sea
And yet, within my chaos, I chose you
to mollify me in your love
To be your rose and thorn
