Yiannis Parios : Αχ ζωή μου (Ah my life)

Yiannis Parios was born
Ioannis Varthakouris
(Ιωάννης Βαρθακούρης)
on the island of Paros.
He made his first appearance as a singer in 1969.

My Sundays are few
but my Mondays are many
the bitterness lasted for months
and the joys at times
The nights passed slowly
and the days passed hurriedly
and on the clock the hands
they laughed ironically

Αχ ζωή μου (Ah my life)
in a thread knit
Ah my life
deck marked

Some Wednesdays at dawn
on the eve of a holiday
you told me he would come back
but still to be seen
Some sunrises on a Thursday
I met a madman
but I just went to the mirror
I saw that it was me

Αχ ζωή μου (Ah my life)
in a thread knit
Ah my life
deck marked

We’re just two lost souls swimmin’ in a fish bowl
year after year
