Marina Satti

The acclaimed singer-songwriter, Marina Satti, will represent her nation on what is the 50th anniversary of Greece’s first Eurovision Song Contest participation.

Over her career, the star has developed a unique sound that combines the different musical traditions she grew up with, such as Greek, Arabic and Balkan.

Having represented Greece in the EBU’s Euroradio Jazz Orchestra with works by Peter Herbolzheimer; singing at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington with the World Jazz Nonet; and participating in the a cappella vocal group The Singing Tribe in collaboration with Bobby McFerrin, it's safe to say that Marina is an artist who defies categorisation.

In May 2022, Satti released her first full-length album YENNA, while in 2023 she experimented by delivering the short documentary FLABOURO, as well as TUCUTUM, a song-commentary on Balkan trap, which went viral that summer.

Lyrics of ZARI

Pónos mi mas érthei makári

Péfto kai kyliémai sa zári

Káno pos xechnáo t’ ónomá sou

Ki óla allázoun gýro mou apótoma

O ánemos gia pou tha mas párei

Péfto kai kyliémai sa zári

Káno pos xechnáo t’ áromá sou

Ki óla allázoun gýro mou

I’m gonna do it my way

Sto myaló sou tha bainovgaíno

Giatí de mou ‘doses to chéri

Oúte gia na piastó

Kápote eícha póno gia séna kryfó

T’afíno óla na vgoúne

Páme

Put your hands up

Káno óti den ítane pséma

Ríxe álli mia teleftaía forá

Ki áse na mas férei ó,ti thélei metá

May pain not come to us

I fall and move like dice

I pretend to forget your name

And everything changes around me abruptly

Where will the wind take us?

I fall and roll like dice

I pretend to forget your scent

And everything is changing around me

I’m gonna do it my way

I’ll come in and out of your mind

You never gave me a hand to hold

I used to want you secretly

Now I’m letting it all go

Let’s go

Put your hands up

Pretend it wasn’t a lie

Fall one last time

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And let whatever happens happen

ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And let whatever happens happen

I don’t want to remember

The hours where I almost went crazy

Let me not remember

You didn’t believe that karma was real

Let’s go

Put your hands up

Pretend it wasn’t a lie

Roll it one last time

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

Even if I stay alone

I will always be waiting for you

I’m trembling like a flame

Like a lighted up match

When the dawn comes

I pine away

I die alone if you are not here

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

Let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

Let whatever happens happen

May pain not come to us

I fall and move like dice

I pretend to forget your name

And everything changes around me abruptly

Where will the wind take us?

I fall and roll like dice

I pretend to forget your scent

And everything is changing around me abruptly

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ ΤΑ)

Let whatever happens happen

And let whatever happens happen

(ΤΑ ΤΑ)

And everything is changing around me abruptly
