Happiness is just a gift of birth – for some 
Sorrow a curse that can blight heartlessly – with pain 
You sought your luck in another's eyes – in vain 
Giving your all – in pursuit of his love 
You were imprisoned by fate and your fame 
Haunted by your loneliness – so 

How could you be the diva – strong – go on 
The goddess ‘n' the slave? in one [chorus] 

Passion – your ‘Pascha' 
The man that you loved – too strong 
Your heart had sheltered the cry too long 
You sacrificed all those years of your life 
Left out in the wilderness – so 

How could you be the diva – strong – go on 
The goddess ‘n' the slave? [chorus] 
How could you be the di-va – strong – and carry on 
The goddess ‘n' the slave? 
Your destiny 
Doomed to be 
One more Greek tragedy 
Haunted by your loneliness – so 
How could you be the diva – strong – go on 
The goddess ‘n' the slave? [chorus] 
So how could you be the diva – strong – and carry on? 
The goddess ‘n' slave in one
