Athens ,Athens (In memoria J.I)

*Lyrics - Title: "Athens, Athens"*

*[Intro - spoken]*

Athens... why you hurt me so...

*[Verse 1]*

Athens, Athens, city of stone

You gave me love, then left me alone

Lights are shining on your empty streets

But my heart still bleeds, my heart still bleeds

***_

Athens, Athens, where is she now?

Where is the love you promised somehow?

Athens, Athens, bring her to me

Without her love, I cannot breathe[Chorus]

*[Verse 2]*

I drink alone in Kifisia at night

I see her shadow in the morning light

Every corner whispers out her name

Athens, Athens, nothing feels the same

_***

Athens, Athens, where is she now?

Tell me why you let me down

Athens, Athens, bring her to me

Without her love, I cannot breathe[Chorus]

*[Bridge - arabesque cry]*

Aman, aman, my soul is burning

Aman, aman, no returning

*[Final Chorus - with violins]*

Athens, Athens, hear my plea

Bring her back to me, to me

Athens, Athens, I am on my knees

Athens, Athens... please...
