Stergios Parizas is a teacher in Maritsa on the Rhodes island. What is astonishing in the video is the pleasure that both he and his student Michalis give off to us. I translated the lyrics they wrote together.
My little Michalis is a good kid
My little Michalis is my own student
My little Michalis when he goes out in the yard
My little Michalis flies like a bird
My little Michalis has many friends
My little Michalis loves the dogs as well
My little Michalis smiles a lot
My little Michalis fills my life with beauty
Don’t ever forget to love
Don’t abandon your dreams
Don’t ever forget to see with the eyes of the soul
Even when you think that you cannot remember those words of mine
Do not ever forget to fly
On the clouds and even higher
To draw the wings and not care whether the sun comes out
Even when you think that you cannot remember those words of mine
Don’t ever forget to swim
Don’t ever forget to swim
In lakes you have never seen before
Travel as much as you can and pack your suitcase in a moment
And when you see the beauty of the world you will remember those words of mine
Don’t ever forget to care
Don’t ever forget to care
About all the things that matter in the life
Always give generously whatever you can share
And you will be always rich with a very sweet kiss
