With so many lies – Alkinoos is landing on Kythera!

Lyrics: Alkinoos Ioannidis
Music: Alkinoos Ioannidis
First version: Alkinoos Ioannidis

My Fates dressed me
in songs and blessings
and they opened the door for me
to leave, to come, to find you.
And there came five rivers
to wash my body
and there came two birds
to teach me the kiss.

Down there, at the five rivers,
Down there, at the five roads,
I saw the moonlit
little shoulders of yours.

But you refused my touch
you vested (/clothed) yourself in dark silence
and I reached out my hands (to you)
and was left in solitude

With so many lies that the words
are dressed in
how can I say the “I love you”
so that you’ll believe it…!

I went and drank from the water
of the spring of oblivion
that erases the memories
and wipes out the pains

But it carved on me, deeper still
the remembrance in pain
and I was left to always seek
only one kiss of yours

With so many lies that the words
were dressed in
how can I say the “I love you”
so that you’ll believe it…!

With so many lies that the words
were dressed in
how can I say the “I love you”,
How can you believe!!!
