Akropolis adieu [English translation]

It was september in Athens.

The last evening was so empty.

She asked him: "When are you coming back?"

There he said: "Maybe never".

Goodbye, Acropolis, I've got to go.

The white roses are withered.

What is going to happen?

I would have liked to stay,

Goodbye, Acropolis.

A foreign wind is blowing across the sea

And already tomorrow we are going to be by ourselves.

Come, let us dance, forget the sorrows,

Maybe it is never going to be like this again.

Goodbye, Acropolis, I've got to go.

The white roses are withered.

What is going to happen?

I would have liked to stay,

Goodbye, Acropolis.

La la la la la la...

Goodbye, Acropolis, I've got to go.

The white roses are withered.

What is going to happen?

I would have liked to stay,

Goodbye, Acropolis. Goodbye, Acropolis.
