My number one – Helena Paparizou
Posted on 24. Nov, 2009 in Greek Songs
Helena Paparizou sings My number one, a Greek song which managed to become famous all over Europe, and make Greeks finally happy about winning at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Helena Paparizou was the ideal person to win the Contest with her superb stage performance, beauty and good voice. We should definitely appreciate the song as well, which was cleverly made: a catchy title, an even catchier rhythm and pleasant lyrics. The music composed by Christos Dantis is actually perfect for a modern pop song – regardless of contests. It combines a modern dance rhythm with traditional Greek sounds from bouzouki and Greek Lyra, which is surprisingly well incorporated in the song.
My number one is a love song, one of those that stick to your head and you sing it even if it’s not exactly your “type” of songs. Maybe that is why we won in this contest anyway – except for Helena Paparizou’s natural charm.

My number one – English Lyrics
You’re my lover
undercover
You’re my secret passion and I have no other
You’re Delicious
So Capricious
If I find out you don’t want me I’ll be vicious
Say you love me
and you’ll have me
In your arms forever and I won’t forget it
Say you miss me
Come and kiss me
Take me up to heaven and you won’t regret it
You are the one
You’re my number one
The only treasure I’ll ever have
You are the one
You’re my number one
Anything for you ’cause you’re the one I love
You re my lover
undercover
You’re my secret passion and I have no other
You’re a fire
and desire
When I kiss your lips, you know, you take me higher
You’re addiction
my conviction
You’re my passion, my relief, my crucifixion
Never leave me
And believe me
You will be the sun into my raining season
Never leave me
And believe me
In my empty life you’ll be the only reason
