Piretos – Marinella
Posted on 24. Aug, 2009 in Greek Songs
Marinella sings Piretos, a famous Greek song that means “Fever” in English. This song is one of the best songs written by Akis Panou and has been marked by Marinella’s stentorian voice.
It’s a song about the fever, the agitation and the storm that comes with every new acquaintance that comes into our lives.
Every acquaintance comes like a wave and mess with our life, thrilling the senses. Every person that comes into our life takes a little – or more – of our time, intrigues us and makes us want to know more about him, his habits, his ideas, his mentality.
Every new acquaintance brings us a new dream and hope, although everything can go in vain at the end and be replaced by pain, fear and disappointment. Marinella sings Piretos with passion and her characteristic confidence and fragility at the same time, especially when singing about the lies and fake hopes born by these acquaintances.

Piretos – English Lyrics
In my life each and every
each and every acquaintance
is a new storm
one more fever…
Every new acquaintance
is a brief dream,
a hope
and a strong pain
And if you’re not one of them,
and if it’s not your fault
what must be done?
When everything is on fire,
it is all burned by lies
what do you expect to be left?
In my life each and every
each and every acquaintance
is a new storm
one more fever…
In my life each and every
each and every acquaintance
a sweet swoon
a trap set by desire
Every new acquaintance
is a brief dream
and a step
towards the edge of the cliff
