Theseus
¥
Και νάτη η Κρήτη φάνηκε γαλάζια και ξανθιά
τη θάλασσα στα μάτια της
τον ουρανό στην αγκαλιά, τον ήλιο στα μαλλιά.

Why are the words in bold in the accusative case?
And does μανούλα in the main stanzas of the song refer to the lyricist's actual mother or can it mean the same as καρδούλα i.e.'my love'. To me this alternative seems unlikely. Or do we envisage someone very young talking to his 'girlfriend'? But in the light of the rest of the song with χάδια και φιλία mentioned, the words at the very least must refer to someone in or after puberty. Or are all my questions about μανούλα merely pedantic? Probably....:)
