Lyrics

How to Pronounce the Greek

English Translation

First Verse:

EE kahr-diah mou plee-go-meh-nee
S' a-ga-pah mah rah-gees-meh-nee
mee-sti-kah meh vah-sah-nee-zee me mah-niah
ee zo-ee preen mahs ho-ree-see
proh-spah-tho nah vro mia lee-see
ah-goh-nee-ah ah-goh-nee-ah
ah-goh-nee-ah meh lah-ta-ra nah se niah-zoh-meh
ah-goh-nee-ah dee-stee-hos nah se mee-rah-zoh-meh

First Verse:

My heart is wounded like a fractured bell 
Forever my heart is in pieces
Trying to find a way
For us not to be apart
Agonia, my heart thinks of you every minute
Agonia, with my heart broken in
One thousand pieces.

Second Verse:

me kahr-diah hee-liah ko-mah-tee-ah
se kee-tah-zoh mes stah mah-tee-ah
an eh-meh-nah ah-gah-pahs na to diah-vah-soh
mee-ah foh-tiah me tree-gee-ree-zee
ee zoh-ee mou den tha ah-xee-zee
an se haso an se haso
ah-goh-nee-ah ah-goh-nee-ah
ah-goh-nee-ah meh lah-ta-ra nah se niah-zoh-meh
ah-goh-nee-ah dee-stee-hos nah se mee-rah-zoh-meh

Second Verse:

I look into your eyes
To see if I'm the only one you love
Fire is all around me and my life would be
Worthless if I ever lose you
Agonia, my heart thinks of you every minute
Agonia, with my heart broken in
One thousand pieces.
