For the first time, Yianna Terzi collaborated with her charismatic father, Paschalis Terzis, to release a dynamic and emotional song ‘Gia Sena Mono’ (Για Σένα Μόνο).
Paschalis Terzis has been singing since his early teens and has been performing since the 1960’s starting off as a backup singer for many famous Greek singers of that time. Since the 1980s, his career catapulted and has gone on to record several albums, several of which have gone on to become classics. He has remained at the top of his game to this day and continues to sell out live performances in Greece and beyond every time he takes the stage.
His daughter Yianna, launched her career in the USA, which was her childhood dream. In New York she worked her way into the studio with Grammy Award winning composers. Yianna took her musical talent to a place where she knew she could be free and express herself musically in her own way. She later represented Greece in the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon with the song ‘Óneiró mou’.
The music and lyrics Για Σένα Μόνο are signed by Yianna herself (with the help of Pade for the music).
“This song has great emotional value for us and we are grateful that all the collaborators worked in order to share with the world our most sincere feelings!” Yianna posted on Facebook after the music video was released.
The video clip was shot entirely in Thessaloniki, the birthplace of both of them, under the direction of Yiannis Michelopoulos.

Lyrics:
Κρύψε με μεσ’ τα μάτια σου να δω τη δύναμή σου,
Κλείσε με μεσ’ τη σκέψη σου να γίνω η αφορμή σου,
Όσο ζω θα μετρώ όλα τα αστέρια σου,
Δώσε μου ζωή να πιω μέσα από τα χέρια σου,
Μέσα απ’ τα χέρια σου
Για σένα μόνο να υπάρχω και να ζω,
Χωρίς φωνή να σου φωνάζω σ’ αγαπώ,
Πάρε με πάλι αγκαλιά και χάιδεψέ μου τα μαλλιά
Να γίνουμε ένα ακόμα μια φορά
Μεσ’ στο σκοτάδι ψάξε με να νιώσεις τη μορφή μου,
Άπλωσε την παλάμη σου και λύσε τη σιωπή μου,
Όσο ζω θα μετρώ όλα τα αστέρια σου,
Δώσε μου ζωή να πιω μέσα από τα χέρια σου,
Μέσα απ’ τα χέρια σου
Για σένα μόνο να υπάρχω και να ζω,
Χωρίς φωνή να σου φωνάζω σ’ αγαπώ,
Πάρε με πάλι αγκαλιά και χάιδεψέ μου τα μαλλιά
Να γίνουμε ένα ακόμα μια φορά
Για σένα μόνο να υπάρχω και να ζω,
Χωρίς φωνή να σου φωνάζω σ’ αγαπώ,
Πάρε με πάλι αγκαλιά και χάιδεψέ μου τα μαλλιά
Να γίνουμε ένα ακόμα μια φορά
Lyrics Translation:
Hide me in your eyes so I can see your strength,
Close me in your thoughts so I can be your reason,
As long as I live I will count all your stars,
Give me life to drink through your hands,
Through your hands
Only for you to exist and live,
Without a voice to shout I love you,
Hug me again and caress my hair
To become one once again
In the darkness find me so I can feel your beauty,
Reach for me so you can break my silence,
As long as I live I will count all your stars,
Give me life to drink through your hands,
Through your hands
Only for you to exist and live,
Without a voice to shout I love you,
Hug me again and caress my hair
To become one once again
Only for you to exist and live,
Without a voice to shout I love you,
Hug me again and caress my hair
To become one once again
