WHEN I’M A KID






When I’m a kid
I’ll go and play
With mister wind
Singing along,
tapping along
Clapping away.

When I’m a boy
I’ll go back to my good old toys
Singing along,




Clapping along
Day after day.

Era de las primeras canciones que escuche de Demis Roussos y al día de hoy me sigue gustando, viendo el video y escuchando su voz y musica se remonta uno a los años 70's. En esa época cualquier tema que salia de él era todo un hit. TODO UN MAESTRO DE LA MUSICA.

Salvador Cristerna

Cuando escucho su musica, siento una nostalgia, como si yo hubiera vivido en esa época, y me dan ganas de llorar, pero no de tristeza. Inigualable Roussos.
