Για Σένανε Μπορώ-ΜΑΡΙΝΕΛΛΑ (1981)
(Yia Senane boro / Gia Senane Mporo)

Στίχοι: Σώτια Τσώτου
Μουσική: Αντώνης Στεφανίδης
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Μαρινέλλα

Για σένανε μπορώ
να βγω να ζητιανέψω,
κάθε ντροπή ν' αντέξω
για σένανε μπορώ

Για σένανε μπορώ
να βγω γυμνή στους δρόμους,
αντίθετα στους νόμους
και κάθε ιερό

Για σένανε μπορώ
τις φλέβες μου να σκίσω,
το αίμα μου ν' αφήσω
να τρέξει σαν νερό

Για σένανε μπορώ
πατρίδα να προδώσω,
Χριστέ ντρέπομαι τόσο
και όμως το μπορώ

Για σένανε μπορώ
φονιά να προσκυνήσω,
λεπρό να τον φιλήσω,
για σένανε μπορώ

Για σένανε μπορώ
στον Άδη να κατέβω
και σέρνοντας ν' ανέβω
το πιο ψηλό βουνό

Για σένανε μπορώ
στ' απόσπασμα να πάω
και να χαμογελάω
σαν να 'τανε γιορτή,
ν' αφήσω σαν νερό
το αίμα μου να τρέξει,
χωρίς να πω μια λέξη,
ούτε όχι, ούτε γιατί

Για σένανε μπορώ
τις φλέβες μου να σκίσω,
το αίμα μου ν' αφήσω
να τρέξει σαν νερό

Για σένανε μπορώ
πατρίδα να προδώσω,
Χριστέ ντρέπομαι τόσο
και όμως το μπορώ

...και ιδού η σκληρή πραγματικότητα: Κυρίες και κύριοι η μέση ελληνίδα γυναίκα, σήμερα!

...εν δυνάμει ψυχοπαθής, κατα κανόνα ανισόρροπη και κατα βάθος πουτάνα.

I Want To Live-GAVIN FRIDAY (1992 / I can't believe I ever said that I would die for you)




PS. I was watching the TV show "Power Of Ten" this weekend on Mega channel. A hundred Hellenic women were asked if they would mind their husband having a "one night stand" with another woman, a situation just just like the one presented in the movie "Indecent Proposal" (Robert Redford tempting Demi Moore), meaning...

IF THEY WOULD MIND THEIR HUSBAND HAVING A ONE NIGHT STAND (WITH ANOTHER WOMAN) FOR A MILLION EUROS (that's a lot more than 1 million dollars)

68% of the women in Hellas seem to have answered they would mind...

I REST MY CASE!

If this is true and further more if it reflects the Hellenic reality, it surely means that 2 out of 3 women in my homeland are hypocritical sick psychopaths not to be taken seriously in any aspect.
