Please come down Athena, my love in the sky
To be with me on solid ground
Among the trees and the birds that always fly
Where I can remain all spellbound
...
For countless days that preoccupy my mind
My love for you has just increased
At last I can behold your likeness in kind
Will you come down kiss me at least?
...
Athena my love, Athena my love
Athena my love, my love, oh
...
Athena my love, Athena my love, oh
Athena my love, my love
...
My heart is beating out, my mind is inflamed
You’re so much clearer when you’re near
Please step down from the tall pedestal proclaimed
For me you’ll always be my dear
...
Athena my love, Athena my love, oh
Athena my love, my love
...
Athena my love, Athena my love, nαί*
Athena my love, my love
...
I left my birthplace, I left everything known
To be with you until my end
I need you Athena, I can’t be alone
You’re all I need forever penned, oh
...
Athena my love, Athena my love, oh
Athena my love, my love
...
Athena my love, ooh nαί, Athena my love to you now
Athena my love, Athena my love
Athena my love, love, all times, all times
...
All times, all times, oh love
Ναί, nαί, nαί
Ναί, nαί, nαί
Ooh nαί, it’s Athena
...
Athena my love, Athena my love, my love now
...
Athena my love, Athena my love
Athena my love, my love, you, you, nαί
You must be lonely too
* nαί is “yes” in Greek
Please note that you can sing the song with my words. It seems to work quite well. Thank you for reading and or singing!
