Jesus Take the Wheel

For my written assignment in Greek class, I’ve decided to translate the Carrie Underwood hit, “Jesus Take the Wheel” into modern Greek. It looks cool, but it doesn’t sound anything like the song in English. Here is what the chorus looks like in English:

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can’t do this on my own
I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I’m on
Jesus take the wheel

And then in Greek:

Ιήσους πάρε το τιμόνι
Το πάρε από τα χέρια μου
Γιατί δεν μπορώ να το κάνω μόνη μου
Εγώ αφήνω
Έτσι μου δώστε μια άλλη ευκαιρία
Σώστε μένα από αυτό το δρόμο που στο είμαι
Ιήσους πάρε το τιμόνι
