"red lips I kissed..."


I kissed red lips
and they painted mine, red lips

On the handkerchief I dragged my lips
and they painted the handkerchief, red lips

In the river I washed it
and it painted its waters, red lips

The sea shore was painted
the middle of the ocean too, red lips

An eagle came down to drink water
and his wings were painted, red lips

He painted half the sun
and the moon completely, red lips

I kissed red lips
and they painted mine, red lips...


A lovely traditional song, performed by a modern artist, Alkinoos Ioannidis.(the lyrics are in a loose version, show leniency)
