[Verse 1]
It was already dark as I walked home through suburban streets
There was a tavern, from which the light still shone on the sidewalk
I had time, and I was cold, so I entered
There sat men with brown eyes and black hair
And from the jukebox sounded music that was strange and southern
When they saw me, one stood up and invited me in
[Chorus]
Greek wine is like the blood of the earth
Come pour it
And when I get sad, it's because I'm always dreaming
That I'm always dreaming of homе, you'll have to forgive
Greek wine and thе old familiar songs
Pour it again
Because I feel the longing again, in this city
I'll always be just a stranger and alone
[Verse 2]
And then they told me of green hills, sea and wind
Of old houses and young women who are alone
And of the child who has never seen his father
They kept telling themselves that someday they'd go back
And the savings will be enough for a little happiness at home
And soon no one will remember how it was here
[Chorus]
Greek wine is like the blood of the earth
Come pour it
And when I get sad, it's because I'm always dreaming
That I'm always dreaming of home, you'll have to forgive
Greek wine and the old familiar songs
Pour it again
Because I feel the longing again, in this city
I'll always be just a stranger and alone
