Krasi, thalassa kai t'agori mou (translation: Wine, Sea, and My Boyfriend) was the debut entry for Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 in Brighton performed by Marinella.
The song is a typical Greek traditional bouzouki tune, with Marinella singing that all she needs in life is "wine, the sea and [her] boyfriend".
It was performed 5th on the night following Norway and preceding Israel. At the close of voting, it finished in 11th place with 7 points.
Due to Turkey's invasion of Cyprus that same year, Greece would withdraw the next year, only to return in Eurovision Song Contest 1976 with Panaghia Mou, Panaghia Mou.

In the alleys children are singing, I come out on the balcony
The moon throws golden light on the street, I come out and drown in it
But I’m satisfied, satisfied, satisfied with having
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
As a door to the light, yearning is my brother
And God gives me
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
The world runs, asking for love, honour and money
And the bouzouki doesn’t stop weeping during the night
But for me, for me, for me, it’s enough to have
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
As a door to the light, yearning is my brother
And God gives me
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
Lala lala lalala lalala lalala lalala…
Lala lala lalala lalala lalala lalala…
Lala lala lalala lalala lalala lalala…
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
A bit of wine, a bit of sea and my boyfriend
