Εις τον αφρό της θάλασσας - In the sea froth**

  • 0:00 - 0:04
    In the sea froth
  • 0:05 - 0:09
    my love is sleeping.
  • 0:09 - 0:16
    I pray you, waves, do not wake her up.
  • 0:17 - 0:24
    I pray you, waves, do not wake her up.
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    Along the strand (along the strand) we walked (we walked)
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    and we kept talking about you.
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    Whether you come or go along the strand
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    remember my words.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    If only mountains could get lower
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    so I could see Levante
  • 1:04 - 1:11
    so I could see Cephalonia and beautiful Zante
  • 1:12 - 1:19
    so I could see Cephalonia and beautiful Zante

  • 1:26 - 1:30
    Whether you come or go along the strand,
  • 1:30 - 1:35
    remember my words.
  • 1:49 - 1:53
    Cephalonia, Cephalonia and Zakynthos
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    Corfù, Corfù and Lefkada:
  • 1:59 - 2:06
    these for islands adorn Greece
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    these for islands adorn Greece.

    A Cephalo... a Cephalonian priest
  • 2:48 - 2:52
    is reading wisely.
  • 2:53 - 3:00
    of twelve gospels, he makes thirteen
  • 3:01 - 3:08
    of twelve gospels, he makes thirteen
  • 3:08 - 3:15
    Along the strand we walked and kept talking about you.
