Elli
Elli
A week ago I got a letter from far away
It came from greek lands somewhere
My beloved wife left with Pepito
Banana-boy straight from Spain
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
Why did you leave, Elli, to dark mans ship
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
Elli I miss you so much
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
Elli I miss you so much
You stroke a frozen dagger straight to my hearth
I can throw all dreams to the garbage bin I guess
Damn banana-boy took my wife away
I guess I have to settle for neighbour country's Emma
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
I dont have the streight to comb my hair
Thousand barley porridge socks are pounding my head
My cheeks are growing weeds, my brain are degerating
Oh why wont you, My dear Elli come to my side
Oh Elli, Elli, Elli I miss you
