Ola i Tipota – Michalis Hatzigiannis
Posted on 10. Sep, 2009 in Greek Songs
Ola i tipota sings Michalis Hatzigiannis, a song which translates to All or nothing in English.
Ola i tipota is a popular Greek Song, with a catchy rhythm and lyrics, appropriate for Hatzigiannis’ voice and style; his music is always nice and modern and he seems to get the pulse of his audience – which is mostly young people. The lyrics of the song reflect that too – if listening to the song you have the feeling that you are listening to a young person contemplating on his love affair, its difficulties and its up and down. What is really universal and above ages is the fact that love and relationships are and should be an All or nothing case. Nothing less is and should be accepted anyway.
Ups and downs in a relationship are not weird or uncommon. On the contrary- the way we deal with them and handle them is what matters really. Ola i tipota is mandatory in a relationship if fully enjoying and committing to a relationship, don’t you think?

Ola i Tipota – English Lyrics
What if you broke me into pieces
I will put myself back together
again in front of your two eyes
I will stand up
and with heart in my hands
I will tell you
take me to stars
or straight to the steep
Take me, give me away
or forget me
take me, keep me
or leave me
love me, kiss me
or hate me
all or nothing with you
all or nothing with you
I don’t feel sorry for myself
even If I destroy myself
I don’t have a body of my own
so as to mind its loss
whatever I saw, whatever I heard
all was you
sometimes you were sunshine
sometimes prison.
Ola i tipota – Greek Lyrics
Όλα ή τίποτα – Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης – Ελληνικοί Στίχοι
Τι και αν μ’ έσπασες κομμάτια
πάλι θα ενωθώ
πάλι μπρος στα δυό σου μάτια
ίσια θα σταθώ
Και με την καρδιά στα χέρια
θα ‘ρθω να σου πω
πήγαινε με ως τα αστέρια
ή ως το γκρεμό
Πάρε με-δώσε με ή ξέχασε με
Πάρε με-κράτα με ή αφησε με
Αγάπα με-φίλα με ή μίσησε με
Όλα η τίποτα μαζί σου
Δε λυπάμαι τον εαυτό μου
ας καταστραφώ
σώμα δεν κρατάω δικό μου
για να το νοιαστώ
Ό,τι έζησα ό,τι είδα
ήταν όλα εσύ
πότε ήσουν ηλιαχτίδα
πότε φυλακή
