I’ll Climb the Mountains

Θα πάρω βόλτα τα βουνά

Original Lyrics

Θα πάρω βόλτα τα βουνά

Θα πάρω βόλτα τα βουνά να δω κι αυτά τι λένε
να δω τα μάτια π’ αγαπώ σαν τα δικά μου αν κλαίνε.

Αν αρχινήσω και τα πω τα πάθη μου τραγούδια
όλη η γη θα μαραθεί δε βγάζει πια λουλούδια.

Κουράστηκα για να πονώ και θέλω να πεθάνω.
