Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I walked through Κολωνάκι
And the scent of πορτοκάλι
Saw the snake of Αμπελάκη
In the trees of green φιστίκια
Black eyelashes wait for me
[Chorus]
Black eyelashes come back
Dark memories retract
Black eyelashes
Drown the moon and flood the night with
Black eyelashes come back
Dark wings of bees attack
Black eyelashes
Char my heart of Anthracite
[Verse 2]
When I got back to Αθήνα
Saw the night cats of Ομόνοια
As I walked down to Ψυρή
I turn a corner where your
Black eyelashes wait for me
[Chorus]
Black eyelashes come back
Dark memories retract
Black eyelashes
Drown the moon and flood the night with
Black eyelashes come back
Dark wings of bees attack
Black eyelashes
Char my heart of Anthracite
[Bridge]
Δεν είσαι Έλληνας
Οχι δεν μιλάς
Γιατί? Γιατί δεν μιλάς?
[Chorus]
Black eyelashes come back
Dark memories retract
Black eyelashes
Drown the moon and flood the night with
Black eyelashes come back
Dark wings of bees attack
[Outro]
Black eyelashes
Char my heart of Anthracite
