The pianist is Maria Neofytidou. . "Word after word we were oblivious of the time, swept away by pain and overtaken by night... Wipe the tear with your handkerchief and let me drink the sun out of your lips... Don't ask the sky, neither the cloud, nor the moon... Your dark glance somehow resembles the night... What we met with, what distressed us, stealthily stabbed us like a knife... Wipe the tear with your handkerchief and let me drink the sun out of your lips... Don't ask the sky, neither the cloud, nor the moon... Your dark glance somehow resembles the night..." English adaptation by Christos Stassinopoulos.
