Τί Νά 'ΝΑι

"Τί ν'αυτό που το λένε αγάπη" ("this thing called love")
sung by Sophia Loren and Tony Maroudas

("I love you, I love you, I love you")

What's this thing they call love, oh what is it, what is it, what is love
guiding secretly our fragile hearts
those who 've lost it it bitterly hurts

What's this thing they call love, oh what is it, what is it, what is love
laughter, tears, sunshine, and rain
so important and oh so much vain

Oh never, never, and nobody
has ever yet found any answer

What's this thing they call love, oh what is it, what it is, what it is
that makes one sing the tune
"I love you, I love you, I love you"


from the movie "Boy on a dolphin" ("Το παιδί και το δελφίνι", 1957)
translation Miltiadis Thalassinos 2009
