Greek Lyrics	Pronunciation	English Translation
Ζήσε τώρα μόνος	zise tora monos	Live alone now,
μέσα στη σιωπή	mesa sti siopi	in silence,
αφού δεν εκτίμησες	afou den ektimises	since you never valued
ποτέ σου, όσα είχες	pote sou, osa ihes	ever, what you had.
μη' μου λες πονάω	mi' mou les ponao	Don't tell me you are hurt.
είσαι στην αρχή	ise stin arhi	You are starting over
γιατί ακόμα τίποτα στ' ορκίζομαι, δεν είδες	yati akoma tipota st' orkizome, den ides	because I swear, you haven't seen anything yet.

Και που να δεις, αργότερα	ke pou na dis, argotera	And wait until you see, later —
που θα 'ρθουν τα, χειρότερα	pou tha 'rthoun ta, hirotera	the worst is yet to come.
θα με ζητάς, με κλάματα	tha me zitas, me klamata	You will be asking for me, in tears.
μα θα 'ναι αργά, για θαύματα	ma tha 'ne arga, ya thavmata	But it will be [too] late for miracles.
Και που να δεις, αργότερα	ke pou na dis, argotera	And wait until you see, later —

για κάποιον που, δεν ντρέπεται	ya kapion pou, den drepete	for someone who has no shame.
