DRUMMING FROGS
Echotropia

(from  the album « Echotropia » music: Kalyviotis, lyrics: Stassinopoulou)

When coming out of my balcony, to sing my song

Birds will chirrup, flowers will bloom

And a pale cloud’s gonna start the dance

 

Frogs are drumming

Willow trees play tambourine

 

When coming out on my balcony, to sing my song

The blowing wind, is answering to me with another song

And the bright sun is playing the accords made of light

 

Frogs are drumming

Willow trees play tambourine

 

When coming out in my balcony, to sing my song

Come and listen, bathe me with flowers

And all the ceramics I will break at once

 

To make them dance with you

To revive your soul
