My friend the wind will come from the hills 
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again 
My friend the wind will tell me a secret 
He shares with me, he shares with me 

My friend the wind will come from the north 
With words of love, she whispered for me 
My friend the wind will say she loves me 
And me alone, and me alone 

I'll hear her voice and the words 
That he brings from Helenimou 
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou 
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou 
Oh oh oh 

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou 
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou 
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou 
Oh oh oh 

My friend the wind go back to the hills 
And tell my love a day will soon come 
Oh friendly wind you tell a secret 
You know so well, oh you know so well 

I'll hear her voice and the words 
That he brings from Helenimou 
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou 
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou 
Oh oh oh 

La la la, Helenimou 
La la la, Aghapimou 
La la la, Manoulamou
