Song's title "Attendre,attendre"
from CD "Je suis Grecque"
Singer Melina Mercouri

Lyrics

Un jour s'en vient,
Un jour s'en va,
J'attends quelqu'un
Tu ne viens pas...
Sur le rivage
Le temps se traîne
Longue est la vague
Longue est ma peine

{Refrain:}
Attendre, attendre sans y croire,
O mon amour si beau, si tendre
Attendre un jour, un an, attendre
Un pas, un souffle, un rien, un peu d'espoir
O mon amour si beau, si tendre
Je n'ai qu'un seul amant, le vent du soir

Les jours s'effeuillent
Comme l'automne
Je te maudis
Je te pardonne
J'espère, je doute
Que tu reviennes
Longue est ta route
Longue est ma peine
{au Refrain}

    Very informative :-) with care and love..:-)

    Some funny comments too..like " why do we speak English ..":-))

  • @faethonadamidis

    Correct my friend.

    However It is already known the request for the return of the Parthenon Marbles which conventionally are also known internationally as Elgin marbles.

    I believe that my video explained clearly the story of this request and how they were theft from Greece by Lord Elgin 

  • very nice, but not the elgin Marbles. THE GREEK PARTHENON MARBLES

  • Thank you for your sensitive words
