Bent - Kisses (ft Nana Mouskouri)

(Ich) träumte so gerne von den Freuden der Welt

Ich hatte manches Schöne mir vorgestellt

Und dann kam ein Tag und den vergesse ich nie

Viel schöner als meine Phantasie

Ooh, ooh, Küsse süßer als Wein .. !

Much more beautiful than my fantasy

Ooh, ooh, kisses sweeter than wine !

A committee including Greek-Cypriot officials and the troika of the European Commission, the ECB and the IMF asked Pimco, a big American bond investor, to advise how much, and the provisional answer was €10.3 billion. But in Germany, especially, any idea of using taxpayers’ money to underwrite deposits in Greek-Cypriot banks meets stiff resistance. Last year Germany’s foreign intelligence service declared that the main beneficiaries would be Russian oligarchs, businessmen and mafios i.
