Paei i agapi mou – Alkestis Protopsalti
Posted on 20. Sep, 2009 in Greek Songs
Paei i agapi mou sings Alkestis Protopsalti, a Greek song about a lost love (how uncommon you will say!) which translates to “My love has gone”.
We will keep saying it; when it comes to Greeks the theme of the lost love is more frequent than the actual celebration of love. Two are the main reasons for that – first of all when everyone is happy and crazy all over won’t sit to write a song. Second, Greeks like the drama in their life and like talking about it, singing, painting, writing about it.
Paei i agapi mou is a ballad originally sung by Alkestis Protopsalti, although it became mostly known later, when a pop idol of the time, Christos Dantis, performed it. The lyrics are nice and catchy, just because they speak the truth about how a person feels when left behind in love: My love has gone, he left me alone in a corner. Don’t we all feel abandoned, like puppies left in some corner when our love leaves us? It’s simple and unfortunately painful.

Paei i agapi mou – Alkestis Protopsalti
My love has gone, he left me
alone in a corner
Oh God, I wish it was a joke
oh, I hope it was the April’s fool’s day
I look at one bench at the park
and I remember thousands of kisses
vows have turned into pieces and bitterness in the eyes
the fire isn’t going to be put out
The dream has left, the hope
lost and where can I find you
it was an April day, I remember,
that you were lost in the dusk
My love has gone, he left me
alone in a corner
Oh God, I wish it was a joke
oh, I hope it was the April’s fool’s day
