Starry nights above Athinai 
Magic nights when i met you 
You were a captivating sight
What a wonderful delight 
To hear you say oh i love you

I met you in Monemvasia 
There on an island in the sun 
You told me you were called Maria 
And from the start you turned me on 
You showed me the ancient places 
I recall how it all began 

Starry nigts above Athinai 
Magic nights when i met you 
You were a captivating sight
What a wonderful delight 
To hear bouzoukis play their melodies 

Starry nights above Athinai 
Magic nights when i met you 
You were a captivating sight
What a wonderful delight 
To hear you say oh i love you 

You showed me all of Athinai
Revealed her golden history 
You taught me 'bout the gods of Greece 
The ancient ruins of Delphi 
But it was you that turned my head 
Your pretty smile that drove me mad
