My friend the wind song | Demis Roussos



My Friend The Wind is a song by Greek singer Demis Roussos. It was released as a single in 1973.

The song was written by Alec R. Costandinos and Stelios Vlavianos.

Roussos was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, in a Greek family where his father George (Yorgos) Roussos was a classical guitarist and an engineer and his mother Olga was a singer; her family originally came from Greece.

As a child, he studied music and joined the Greek Church Byzantine choir in Alexandria. His formative years in the ancient port city's cosmopolitan atmosphere were influenced by jazz, but also traditional Arab and Greek Orthodox music. His parents lost their possessions during the Suez Crisis and consequently decided to move to Greece.

Demis Roussos has died on January 25, 2015, in Athens, Greece

Song lyrics:

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

Choir:
"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 

Choir:
"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

La la la, Helenimou 
La la la, Aghapimou 
La la la, Manoulamou
Oh-oh-oh

La la la, Helenimou 
La la la, Aghapimou 
La la la, Manoulamou
Oh-oh-oh
