The moon in August is truly glorious... I cannot but associate it with femininity in its most attractive form. From Reflections, the 1970 album composed by Manos Hadjidakis for the band New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, with English lyrics, comes this piece - adapted by the Greek band Raining Pleasure (2005).
She was a lady once of noble name,
noble dame.
She has a silver ring from her king
Give her a nickel, take her out to dine,
give her wine.
Comfort her if she sighs and then cries
Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello.
Don’t be afraid to smile and then go.
And if you see her talking to herself all alone.
Leave her alone, her heart is at home.
She was a lady once without a care,
golden hair.
She was the only friend of the king
Maybe she’Il come and ask you for your name,
noble Dame.
We’ll give our love to her on her way.
Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello.
Don’t be afraid to smile and then go.
And if you see her talking to herself all alone.
Leave her alone, her heart is at home.
noble dame.
She has a silver ring from her king
Give her a nickel, take her out to dine,
give her wine.
Comfort her if she sighs and then cries
Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello.
Don’t be afraid to smile and then go.
And if you see her talking to herself all alone.
Leave her alone, her heart is at home.
She was a lady once without a care,

She was the only friend of the king
Maybe she’Il come and ask you for your name,

Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello.
Don’t be afraid to smile and then go.
And if you see her talking to herself all alone.
Leave her alone, her heart is at home.
