As the arms were wrapping around the body And as the night were breaking in thousand stars I shyly touched your heart I love you And as the stars were falling to the ground And as the bodies were falling to the earth I found only one word to spell you I love you Chorus: My angel, my man, my death, You! My angel, my man, my death, You! You, the one who slowly was twisting the knife, You, the one who gently was taking my life You… And as you slowly were twisting the knife And as you gently were taking my life, I only told you one word only, I love you And as we were fighting like that,arm to arm, And as I had no heart to touch anymore, I found a way over again,to tell you, “I love you” Chorus People around me walk in couples, And I am alone in a closed house Having a warm whisper coming out of my mouth, “I love you” Chorus

Alkistis Protopsalti has been an exciting presence for more than twenty five years. Thirty three records most of which are gold or platinum. Over 6.500 in Greece and all over the world culminating in her appearance at the City Center of New York.

Unique successes, new suggestions to the Greek music scene, originally and passion in her interpretation, and respect towards her public are only some of the qualities of Alkistis Protopsalti’s significant journey.

In 1975 her first record comes out and by the mid 1980’s she has already worked with top Greek composers.

In 1985 Alkistis Protopsalti met the composer Stamatis Kraounakis and the lyricist Lina Nikolakopoulou. This meeting turned things upside down in Greek music.

In the early 1990’s Alkistis Protopsalti proposed to the Yugoslavian composer Goran Bregovic to turn his “Time of the Gypsies” into a Greek record.

In September 1997, Alkistis Protopsalti cooperated for the first time with the composer Nikos Antypas.Lina Nikolakopoulou wrote the lyrics and the record “San ifestio pou xypna” (Like an awakening volcano) becomes a fact. This was the most expensive production ever made in Greece,with the participation of the Prague Philarmonic Orchestra, and Mario Clemens conducting.

In March of 2000 she is recording her new CD “Universe spheres” again in PLUX XXX studios in Paris with Nikos Antypas and Lina Nikolakopoulou - and she is doing another tour abroad with her best songs. New CD “To see you smile”, that was mastered in New York, is out.

Samo

Samo luči bliskajo v temi.
Samo valovi butajo ob skale.
Nič tebe, nobenih sledi,
ki bi se v pesek zapisale.

Samo veter z okusom po soli,
samo veter z vonjem po smoli
se mi včasih dotakne las,
vse drugo je pretekli čas.

Refrain:

Samo jaz na tem bregu,
samo jaz nisem na begu.
Slišim srce, ki verjame,
da upanje vedno ostane.

Samo veter z dotikom pozabe,
samo veter s pesmijo zmage
dobrikal se mi bo v obraz,
vse drugo bo pretekli čas.

Refrain

Samo ena možnost manj,
samo konec nekih sanj.
A upanje je kakor morje,
rečem si: jutri bo bolje.
Jutri bo bolje.

When Ylenia's family was fed up with little Ylenia’s constant shouting and screaming all over the house, parents decided to take a three-year-old Ylenia to the choir of children Venturini near Domje in 1989. The conductor of the choir soon noticed her talent and a strong voice, therefore she suggested participation at the international Italian music festival for children Gold coin in Bologna. Ylenia managed to qualify for the festival when she was only 7 years old. This was one of the crucial moments for the beginning of her music career. In the following years she started to collaborate with the Slovene composers and competed at various festivals for children and teenagers, such as Melodije Morja in Sonca (MMS - Festival of the sea and the sun), which she rarely left with not having had won an award either for her amazing singing or the song itself. In her early teens she was already known as a real teen star. The success from her young age gave her a strength and a confidence to enter the real festivals for grown-ups. She was only 15 years old when she for the first time performed at the real MMS.

In the following years she also performed at the festival "Slovenska popevka", Hit festival and in 2004 at EMA. Ylenia also won many awards at the festivals outside Slovenia, in Italy and in Romania. Her popularity is rapidly increasing here in Slovenia, which has resulted in releasing her debut album - Živim (I live) in March this year.

With the song 'Samo' (Only) Ylenia performed at Slovenska popevka 2004. Yet again she impressed the audience and the jury, which gave Ylenia the award for the best performer and chose her song 'Samo' as the best song of the festival. The audience put her on the second place at the televoting.

Kahdestaan (The Two Of Us Together)

Muistan sen, kun uitiin siihen I remember when we swam to that saareen salaa rantauduttiin island, came secretly ashore

vieläkään ei kukaan löydä no one could ever find better

piilopaikkaa parempaa hiding-place than this

mä otin hellästi sut kainaloon I gently took you into my arms

sä sanoit turvassa oon you said " I´m safe"

nyt niitä hetkiä taas muistelen now I think about those

ja haaveilen moments again and I dream

eiks voitais olla noin kahdestaan
