lyrics

When you walk upon those rocks above the sea
and the soft breeze raises your skirt,
when the wind sings to you a thousand promises,
you hope that some of them may come true.
Maria, you don´t need any lover,
you don´t need a pain from which to recover,
summer is your friend, run to the beach barefoot
before it´s over.

When you taste the fruits you always let
their juice stain your chin and fingers.
It reminds you of being a messy little girl,
the rebel on the family table.
Maria, you don´t need any lover,
you don´t need a pain from which to recover,
taste the honey while you still can
before it´s over.

You go to the woods and stroll among the pine trees
and run your fingers on their wrinkled trunks
´cause they remind you of your grandpa´s face
and all those lovely tales he´d tell.
Maria, you don´t need any lover,
you don´t need a pain from which to recover,
run wild, touch, smell, watch and listen closesely
before it´s over.

Maria, why have a lover,
who needs more pains from which to recover?
Give me your hand, let´s jump in the water.
Sister, why have a lover?
We got enough pains from which to recover,
give me your hand let´s jump in the water.
Let´s learn how to taste the world before we´re over.

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
