WHAT DO THE GREEK SONGS SAY

What do the Greek songs say
About night-time, about love
What do the Greek songs say
About how we live

What do the Greek songs say
With this melancholy that wraps a person head to toe
It is as if an unsaid something always remains
However much we reveal what is inside us

What do the Greek songs say
Is it the end of a love, or a love beginning
Is it a girl, whose face we will never see
Countryside in whose meadows we can never lie

What do the Greek songs say
With this continuous, this soft insistence
What to the Greek songs say
With rhythms that seep into our hearts

What do the Greek songs say
About eternal beauty, peace eternally;
No matter how much we fill them with pain
They’re about living oh so ardently

What do the Greek songs say
Is it that all songs will one day be one
What do the Greek songs say
So distant... yet not so far away
