Description: Maybe the best song ever written for Cyprus - composed by Mikis Theodorakis, poetry by Leonidas (Leo) Malenis especially for CyBC's documentary "To Nisi Tis Afroditis" (The Island of Aphrodite), back in 1964. To song is called "Hrisoprasino fillo" (Gold-green leaf) and was first sung by Grigoris Bithikotsis. GOLD-GREEN LEAF Earth of lemon and olive tress, earth of joy, embrace, earth of spruces and cypresses, of young heroes and of love, gold-green leaf, thrown into the sea. Earth of dead pastures, of an embittered Virgin Mary, earth of the incense of loss, of the unjust, of wild weather and volcanoes, gold-green leaf, thrown into the sea. Earth of laughing girls, earth of celebrating boys, earth of ointment of worship, Cyprus of love and dreams, gold-green leaf, thrown into the sea. Translated by Paul O'Mahony
