 To Aima Mou
Μαχαίρι αγάπη μου κρατούσες Κόκκινο, δεν ήταν κόκκινο

Που κάρφωσες σε μένανε
Και το αίμα που έτρεχε κοιτούσες
Δεν είχες αίμα δει ποτέ
You held the knife my love
Which you nailed it to me
And you were watching the blood which was flowing
As if you had never seen blood
Είχε το χρώμα τ' ουρανού Red, it wasn’t red
It had the color of the sky
Και την αγάπη ενός τρελού And the love of a crazy man
And it was dripping, thus it was
Κι έσταζε έτσι όπως έσταζε dripping
It was taking crazy shapes
Έπαιρνε σχήματα τρελά
Θύμιζε εσένα φοβερά
To Aima Mou
 Why this song?

● Love isn’t always fun and games, it is also pain and heartache
● It is very poetic, it speaks to me
● Reminds me of listening to Greek music with my mom as a kid
