Chorus:
Hakolot shel Pireus........

On a deck chair,
faint from the heat,
I feel like running away

On the wings of the dream,

To an unknown bay
with a deserted
island,
a calm small village
across from the Mediterranean sea.

Chorus:
The voices of Pireus
remind me of Haifa,
With a bottle of Matheus

you look so beautiful.

Let the sun shine
over white houses
and let
the heart be happy
like then in Greece.

A cloud in the sky
sails in silence,
the blue colour of the water

penetrates into the soul.

The wind carries
smell of salt and honey
From the open sea
comes a new song comes from the open sea.


Chorus:
Hakolot shel Pireus........
