ALKO

I am not the great king
I haven't got bread to eat with ease
so how will you let me settle by your side
if I have no crown to put on your head
Alko is, poor son of poor (people)
I don't have money,
my clothes are always worn out
Alko is one
who's not considered
he doesn't have money
or a gold watch
I am not the greak king
if only I could give everything to you
i'm Alko, just a greek kid
and Alexander - I certainly am not.

Alko is, poor son of poor (people)
I don't have money,
my clothes are always worn out
Alko is one
who's not considered
he doesn't have money or a gold watch
Alko is one
who's not considered
he doesn't have money
but he has a golden heart.
