Fengari kalokairino
Ston iskio sou tha trigyrno
Sti magemeni astrofengia
Louloudia tha ‘nai ta filia
Irtha konta sou na statho
Mikro karavi sto gyalo
Tremo tous iskious tis nychtias
Gi’ afto fengari mou na m’ agapas
Fengari kalokairino
Stou erota ton ourano
I magemeni astrofengia
Louloudia kanei ta filia
Koita ton erimo gyalo
Sou psithyrizo s’ agapo
Tora tha chtiso ekklisia
Gia tis agapis ta trela paidia
Fengari kalokairino
Stou erota ton ourano
I magemeni astrofengia
Louloudia kanei ta filia
Summer moon
In your shade I’ll wander
In the bewitched starlight
Flowers will be kisses
I came standing near you
Small ship on the seashore
I tremble the shades of the night
Therefore love me, my moon
Summer moon
On the sky of love
The bewitched starlight
Flowers make kisses
Look at the desolate seashore
I whisper you “I love you”
Now I’ll build a church
For the crazy children of love
Summer moon
On the sky of love
The bewitched starlight
Flowers make kisses
