Hi User,

A few changes to flow better:

"And I want my old love back...hey, come back, come back...I'm telling you, do not just look, do something."

What do you think? Does it convey the meaning?

Hi Lilian,

Yes, I agree. Just one thing: I think we should add "at it" ( "do not just look at it" ) because it seems s/he refers to something specific. What do you think?

What would that "it" refer to? The only possible former reference (noun) would be: "my old love", but I don't think "it" refers to the love.

Is there anything I don't get?

Yes, "my old love" isn't the antecedent. "It" 's antecedent might be in the previous or in the following sentence, I can't know. Maybe it's a mispelling of "τον" (him, "το" instead of "τον" ), but I can't be sure about that either. There is an "it" in the original and I feel that something is missing if I translate "don't just look..."

OK, if you think it's needed, go ahead.

I would translate "Κι εγώ" as "I ... too" (the "too" goes after "back", and I would say "don't" instead of "do not" - it sounds more natural that way.
