Kyr Andonis (Mr Andonis) Melina Merkouri and Hadjidakis



Kyr Andonis (Mr Andonis)
 
It's been a long time that Mr Andonis was living in the yard
with a bed and a jug of wine
He had two blue eyes and uncombed hair
and he was always wearing a flower
on his old clothes
 
Oh Mr Andoni how much we love you
and we count the stars with you
the fires for you we jump
until the rain comes
and we always forget about your sorrow
and we wander with you around like birds
We laugh with you like little kids
when you pray....
 
But Mr Andonis is in a hurry to go to sleep
because at night in his dreams
he wants to remember
what he has never lived,
He lives in his dreams
but the night goes and the break of the day finds him sad
 
Oh Mr Andoni how much we love you
and we count the stars with you
until the rain comes
and we always forget about your sorrow
and we wander with you around like birds
We laugh with you like little kids
when you pray....
 
But one night Mr Andonis goes to bed
and when we wake up
we wait for him to come to the door
But Mr Andonis won't come out, ever in the yard
since forever in his dreams he wanted to live ......
