Δρόμοι, αμάξια και βουνά στιχάκια μελωδίες
είν’ η δική μου η δουλειά να φτιάχνω εμπειρίες

Όταν με πάρει η μουσική δε σκέφτομαι το χρόνο
γίνομαι μέσα στη ροή παιδάκι και τα χώνω

Streets, cars and mountains, lyrics and melodies
music that’s what we do
they come to me and leave again, lyrics and melodies
and I host them, lyrics and melodies
it is my job in life to create experiences
to arrange gigs
to make events in facebook
to carry around speakers
to play in the middle of the dance
to create experiences

english translation

When music takes me on her boat I stop my mind from thinking
no I don’t, I just play
what time is it
what chores I have to do tomorrow
I stop my mind from thinking
I become a child in the flow and I am freely singing
a little child
I give the groove
