Lyrics
[edit]- Don't feel sorry for me,drive me away tonight
- as if I am a wild flower
- and cut my life
- I began nude
- I am heading on all alone
- My house is the street
- and my song is the pain
- Drive me away and don't feel pity for me
- don't be afraid of what will become of me
- even if it snows or if it rains
- the wild flower does remain
- Don't keep me just out of sympathy
- I'm used to the cold I 'll manage the snow (too)
- I began nude
- I am heading on all alone
- My house is the street
- and my song is the pain
- Drive me away and don't feel pity for me
- don't be afraid of what will become of me
- even if it snows or if it rains
- — Singer: Stelios Kazantzidis, Songwriter: Pythagoras, Composer: Christos Nikolopoulos
