Ach, if they would have named me Kyveli, that would suit me better, with the lambda and the i. Four, five, six! My name is Popi! And no matter how ashamed I am, one day, one day, I will marry you. Haha ! Don't laugh. Yesterday, I've told my mother, and listen, she only let out a 'ma'. If I told my father, he would only say 'ba'! Which song shall I send you, that's red as an apple and light as a leaf. On your hair, to sit on and to sing as a bird, and to kiss you sweetly-sweetly, a song to "wear" while you are studying. Seven, eight, nine, For you, I dress up and go out, I read, I write and I become sick. and I stay home alone with a sweet little fever. somewhere around thirty seven and one. Only to think of you. For you, I become Greece and bubble like lemonade. For you, I walk such a road and every night I grow up. Athens, Patra, Lefkosia and suddenly Kyparissia. Thessaloniki, Yannena, with two canvas shoes. Which song shall I send you, red as an apple and light as a leaf. On your hair, to sit on and to sing as a bird, and to kiss you sweetly-sweetly. A song without words, for you to choose them. For you I walk such a road, but never I meet you on the Rocks I get lost in the crowd and again in Kalogreza, wrong ! And I take a train, I take a boat and an old bus, that seesaws and trembles to and for, till I arrive at, as it says, Iera Odo. Autograph, please ! And a kiss on the forehead and I acquired a third eye that only opens on Wednesday but nobody can see it. Again form the beginning. One, two, three ! My name is Popi, and no matter how ashamed I am, one day I will marry you !
