Lyrics Pink Martini

Pink Martini

Children Of Piraeus

(In Greek, translated to English)

From my balcony I send

One, two, three and four kisses to the world

Over the docks of Piraeus fly

One, two, three and four seagulls, I am told

How much I'd love to have

One, two, three and four boys, proud and fine

And when one day they grow up

They'll be manly and strong

For this precious port of mine

And when I come out of my door

There is no one in the world, there is

No one I don't love

And every night I close my eyes and I

Sleep and I know

I'll dream of them just like before

Jewels around my neck

A good-luck charm I carry

Because the night falls and I long

To find a perfect stranger

And seduce him with my song

So much I've tried

I've never found a port

To captivate my heart

As Piraeus does

And when the night falls

The air is filled with songs

With tunes and sounds and laughter

Bursting with life and youthful calls
