Stin poli tremosvinei to fengari
Ki an tin antecheis ti skini
Ta matia sou dyo stales echoun parei
Ap ‘tin vrochi tin proini
Pare t’ asteria t’ ouranou
Stolise ti matia tou
Angixe to anthos tou lotou
Fonaxe t’ onoma tou, kai tha ‘nai erotas
Stin poli tremosvinei kapoio asteri
Ki esy apomeines na zeis, nai, na zeis
Sto proto tis kardias sou kalokairi
Stis ankalies tis Kyriakis
Pare t’ asteria t’ ouranou
Stolise ti matia tou
Angixe to anthos tou lotou
Fonaxe t’ onoma tou
(Omos mi rotas) Tha ‘nai erotas
Omos mi rotas, tha ‘nai erotas
(Pare t’ asteria t’ ouranou)
Stolise ti matia tou
Angixe to anthos tou lotou
Fonaxe kai tha ‘nai erotas
Tha ‘nai erotas
(Tha ‘nai erotas, tha ‘nai erotas, tha ‘nai erotas)
The moon lights dimly in the city
And if you can bear with the scene
Your eyes have taken two drops
From the morning rain
Take the stars of the sky
Embellish his glance
Touch the flower of the lotus
Call his name, and it will be love
Some star lights dimly in the city
And you remained to live, yes, to live
To the first of your heart’s summer
Into the hugs of Sunday
Take the stars of the sky
Embellish his glance
Touch the flower of the lotus
Call his name
(But don’t ask) It will be love
But don’t ask, it will be love
(Take the stars of the sky)
Embellish his glance
Touch the flower of the lotus
Call his name, and it will be love
It will be love
(It will be love, it will be love, it will be love)
