Children Of Piraeus Lyrics

Children Of Piraeus

(In Greek, translated to English)
From my balcony I send
One, two, three
and four kisses to the world
Over the docks of Piraeus fly
One, two,
three and four seagulls, I am told

How much I’d love to
have
One, two, three and four boys, proud and fine
And when one day they
grow up 
They’ll be manly and strong
For this precious port of
mine

And when I come out of my door
There is no one in the world,
there is
No one I don’t love
And every night I close my eyes and I

Sleep and I know
I’ll dream of them just like before

Jewels
around my neck
A good-luck charm I carry
Because the night falls and I
long
To find a perfect stranger
And seduce him with my song

So
much I’ve tried
I’ve never found a port
To captivate my
heart
As Piraeus does

And when the night falls 
The air is filled
with songs
With tunes and sounds and laughter
Bursting with life and
youthful calls
