Portrait of Zacharias Papantoniou Zacharias Papantoniou The High Mountains — The Song of Uncle Fotis

Happy are the mountains that grow not old
In summer all green and in winter snowed over
They wait for the spring, and sweet summer clover
The sun buds the branches, green trees unfold
This brings out the herds and the young Vlachs
playing their flutes
The song doesn't grow old! Old Fotis has aged but his voice has stayed light as in his youth. If only that front tooth hadn't been missing!
