IRISES
Irises -
Her eyes are beautiful - irises
And my heart longs for her -
Come!*
I will surely die
I'll pick a flower for her - I'll surely die!
Till dawn I'll wait for her
Come!
Evening descends and again she passes by
And in my heart, it's like a sword
Will I again see your two eyes? - Come!
The sun sets
In her lips, the sun sets
The light of sunset is beautiful on her
Come!
The wind sails
Through her hair, the wind sails
Oh, how my night calls to her:
Come!
Dawn rises and again she passes by
And in my heart, it's like a sword
Will I again kiss your lips? - Come
Irises -
The whole world is irises -
Only her heart is a stone -
Come!

The Greek version is a so-called "light" (European-style) song, which has remained popular until this day. |
