Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
You beside me on the balcony
The dark Aegean sea at dawn
And ouzo and water and cigarettes...
Coming home in the rain
To my home again
My kids, my wife.
The heart of my life...
