Αμερικάνα [Amerikana] [English translation]

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

I exposed my hairy body in Naxos

To relax under the sun, to change my air

To find beautiful girl for me, the householder

It’s better to be daughter of a ship-master

The sun was hitting me like Cassius Clay (2*)

And beside the beach bar Volanis cries again

Then I saw as vision Tony Iommi (3*)

With the old known metal hair

He came out from a baking pan with Greek mussaka

He looked at me and he told me ……………… (4*)

Coz beside you there is a crazy babe

Advertisement of Mantison as America

The vision told me these and he disappeared

And I stayed the Snoop with the hair broom

Coz I was alone with an American (girl)

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

How can I start to talk to the beautiful girl

To tell her Stalone, Combra, Rambo, L.A.P.D. (6*)

To treat Berger, to treat doctor pepper

Do you hear rap too or Red Hot Chilly Pepper?

Here we celebrate on 25th of March

You with Tom Cruise on 4th July?

Do you know in Astoria a patriot (7*)

Do you remember Tom Selleck when he has the moustache

My grandfather was the man who returned from the dishes (8*)

Do you know frappe, Greek salad?

What happened to the Twine Towers and they don’t exist anymore?

Or maybe David Copperfield made tricks

You are really the country of opportunities

Or maybe you’re murderers of people?

Superman works firmly in Congress?

I can flirt with Pamela Anderson?

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

Ey American (girl) I’m mister lovermana (9*)

I wear badana (10*), my sister is Anna

I’m from good family, your father will like me

To go to Miami for swimming, get prepared

To put my sorrows to the ports of Manhattan

In the 5th Avenue I’ll hang out with urchins

I’ll leave the summers and the winters of Greece

I’ll come to America, no matter if there are typhoons

I’ll play everyday gambling in Las Vegas

I won’t stay in Greece to run like Veggos (12*)

I’ll change with dollars my humble euros

“It’s all about benjamins” (13*) as they say in my village

I’ll fly kite with Benjamin Franklin

I close forever the chapter Greece

I’ll ask sorry from my good mother

I’ll cross Atlantic for an American (girl)

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way

Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Have you ever danced in the tropics?

Ιn that hazy lazy

Like kind of crazy

Like south american way
