What “Koimísou, Koimísou, Paidi Mou” Means
Cyprus is traditionally said in Greek myth to be the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, who rose from the sea near Paphos, while the Troodos mountains form the island’s forested heart. This original lullaby, in Greek (as spoken in Cyprus), borrows both, the mythical sea and the mountain moonlight.
