Translation
The 'something'
I don't care how expensive your watch is
I don't care if you have a lot of money
Nor do I care how many chicks you've dated1
Or if you've got two cell phones
I don't care if you're an expert in bed
I don't care if you never get tired
I don't care if you've got a flashy Mercedes or a convertible BMW2
I don't care if you've got an athletic body
I don't care if you're sought after
Nor do I care if there's a myth surrounding your name,
Well, you know, if it's about size...3
Mmm...
I don't care if you've gotten your ears pierced
I don't care if you've gotten tattoos
I don't even care if you're hiding aces up your sleeve
Or if you've got turquoise eyes
Because you don't have, because you don't have
That 'something' that I want
That would make me go crazy enough to want you.
I don't care if you smoke cigars while you drink
I don't care if you come from a noble background
Nor do I care if your dark suit is Armani4
Or if you've got a block of cheques
I don't care if you make the others tremble
I don't care if they recognise you wherever you go
It's not as if you're the prime minister
It's not as if you're Schinas5
Because you aren't, because you aren't
That 'something' that I want
That would make me go crazy enough to want you.
I don't care if you've got a good deal of power
And if you use your influence in the government
I don't care if every night you go home with a new woman
Or even if you have some fun with two friends6
I don't care if you've got your name on the piazza
Or if your stock portfolio is as strong as one of Sophocles' plays
I don't care if your arms are ripped and you've got an American Express card
Because you're missing that thing I'm searching for
But not a single one of you has it, and I've gotten bored with you
All men are the same, you promise the skies and stars7
But nobody has that thing that I'm always searching for:
That 'something' that I want
That would make me go crazy enough to want you
That 'something', the 'something', the 'something'
- 1. Using creative licence here, because it's difficult to translate into English. "κομπολόι" are prayer beads, but in Greek culture it's more common to have a knotted prayer bracelet. Basically, this man has dated so many women that he could create a prayer bracelet, with a knot representing each woman he's dated.
- 2. literally 'sporty two-seater', which is basically a convertible.
- 3. This is definitely referring to a certain part of the male anatomy.
- 4. Probably referring to a tuxedo or other fancy suit.
- 5. a famous Greek singer that Kaiti Garbi had a long relationship with.
- 6. Probably referring to a threesome.
- 7. Meaning that they promise the impossible.
