Biography

Greek singer and songwriter, born and raised in Sweden. She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005 with the song "My Number One", and finished third with [a=Antique] in 2001. Eleni "Elena" Paparizou (born 31 January 1982) is usually referred to abroad as Helena Paparizou. She began her career in Sweden in 1999 as a member of the duo Antique, while she also worked briefly as a model for a Swedish-Greek brand. After rising to recognition in Greece following its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001, the group based the remainder of its career there until Paparizou embarked on a solo career in 2003 and released her debut album "Protereotita" in 2004. In 2005, Helena won the Eurovision Song Contest for Greece for the first time in the contest's history, with the song "My Number One". Following the victory, her album peaked at #1 on the Greek Albums Chart and was certified double platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry of Greece. She also briefly attempted a career beyond Greece with English-language material, which charted in a few countries abroad. Multiple subsequent albums peaked at #1 in Greece and reached platinum sales. Helena has won three Arion Music Awards, a European Border Breakers Award, 22 MAD Video Music Awards – more than any other artist – and an MTV Europe Music Award. On 14 March 2010, prior to the release of her fifth album, Alpha TV ranked her as the 14th top certified female artist in the nation's phonographic era (since 1960), totaling seven platinum and four gold records. As of 2010, Helena has been certified for the sales of 209 thousand albums, 47.5 thousand singles, and 30 thousand digital downloads by IFPI Greece, in addition to 100 thousand total record sales in Greece as part of Antique, as well as 24 thousand certified albums in Cyprus, and 20 thousand singles in Sweden during her solo career.

LYRICS

You're my lover
undercover
You're my sacred passion and I have no other
You're Delicious
So Capricious
If I find out you don't want me I'll be vicious

Say you love me
and you'll have me
In your arms forever and I won't forget it

Say you miss me
Come and kiss me
Take me up to heaven and you won't regret it

You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love

You re my lover
undercover
You're my sacred passion and I have no other

You're a fire
and desire
When I kiss your lips, you know, you take me higher

You're addiction
my conviction
You're my passion, my relief, my crucifixion

Never leave me
And believe me
You will be the sun into my raining season

Never leave me
And believe me
In my empty life you'll be the only reason
