LYRICS OF POPULAR YESTERYEAR SONG "MY FRIEND THE WIND" SUNG BY DEMIS ROUSSOS

My friend the wind will come from the hills            
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
My friend the wind will tell me a secret
He shares with me, he shares with me

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, and whispered for me
My friend the wind will tell me that she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Heleni mou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapi mou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoula mou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Heleni mou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapi mou
Far from the world will I live with Manoula mou
Oh oh oh

My friend the wind go back to the hills
And tell my love a day will soon come
Oh friendly wind you tell her a secret
You know so well, oh you know so well

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Heleni mou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapi mou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoula mou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Heleni mou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapi mou
Far from the world will I live with Manoula mou
Oh oh oh

La la la .... Heleni mou
La la la .... Aghapi mou
La la la .... Manoula mou

La la la .... Heleni mou
La la la .... Aghapi mou
La la la .... Manoula mou
