Den Thelo Na Ksereis – Anna Vissi

Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 in Greek Songs

Anna Vissi sings “Den Thelo Na Ksereis” , a Greek song which in English means “I Don’t Want You to Know”. It is maybe one of the heaviest yet most wonderful Greek song about love, loss and – love, again!

When you are left behind, when your feelings bear an empty echo in your heart and soul, when you don’t “care if you live or die”, Anna comes and sings instead of you. And you sing along if your tears don’t tear you apart.

“I don’t want you to know” is a scream of the wounded heart, of the lonely soul, of someone who doesn’t want to admit anything that that love consists of and along the way admits exactly that – “I don’t want you to know… how much I love you, …that I’d do anything for you, (and of course)…that I am still living for you”.

Den Thelo Na Kseris – English Lyrics

I dont want you to know
that for the past two months I’m always at home alone.
I dont want you to know
how ugly I feel with black bags under my eyes.
I dont want you to know
that I dont care if I live or I die.
I dont want you to know
how much I love you.
I dont want you to know
that I spend my time waiting for a phone call from you.
I dont want you to know
that I wear you clothes so I can feel you close to me.
I dont want you to know
that I don’t feel like eating and I’ve lost half my weight.
I dont want you to know
that I think of you day and night.

I dont want you to know
that I’d do anything for you.
I dont want you to know
that because of you I drink ’till I’m drunk.
I dont want you to know
that because of you I feel I’m falling into a comma
Like an old picture my colour is gradually fading away.
I dont want you to know
that I’d do anything for you.
I dont want you to know
that I’m still living for you.

I dont want you to know
that when they tell you that I’m fine it’s all just lies.
I dont want you to know
that I’m always in the same room living with shadows and ghosts.
I dont want you to know
that I fall asleep in the mornings only after I’ve taken sleeping pills.
I dont want you to know
that for me you are everything.
I dont want you to know
that everything going on in the world does not matter to me.
I dont want you to know
that I dont care about anything anymore I feel so emotionless.
I dont want you to know
that I’m alway alone and I dont want to see anyone.
I dont want you to know
how much I love you.
