Melina...

I am currently working on a magazine article about Greece.
Assignment: Write something funny, you know, like the plumber story in Paradiso - it made me laugh so much that I cried!
Sure, I´ll do that. No problem. Easily.
Trying not to repeat myself, and doing a re-phrase of the plumber story, I decided doing some research into Greek music and music lyrics at You Tube.
Yes, I know - that´s why everyone thinks that writing is not a real job. And I am even being paid for this?!
And look what I found...
Melina was such a beauty, so sensual...I love her!
..but of course she died from lung cancer...


And here´s a translation of this song - which has been interpreted by many Greek artists, including Savvopoulos and Haris Alexiou.

Three days, three day I have been separated from you,
three nights, three nights I stay alone.
Like the mountains that are in tears
when the heaven rains.

Shed all your sorrows, young lad,
let´s go for a walk on the moon.

How can I, how can I go out and  walk
remembering, remembering his words?
With the moon, with the moon - how can I sing?
With the moon, with the moon, how can I find comfort?
