lyrics

*(English Translation Follows)*

Η αγάπη περνάει
Από τα δύσκολα στα χαμηλά

Τόσο κοντά
Που να μπορέσει ο ουρανός να στερέψει

Να μην μήνει από τα όνειρα ούτε σταλιά

Ν’αννοίξει η καρδιά
Και να πει στον Θεό να ημερέψει

Πιο ψηλά η ζωή
Που αναπνέει ακόμα

Σε καιρούς ψυχωτικούς
Μ’αναμένει το διάφανο σύμπαν

Λίγο πριν ξεχαστεί η ανθρωπιά μας στην γη

Λίγο πριν
Ξανακτίσει ναούς στην Αθήνα

Θα πετάξω πιο ελεύθερα
Μέσα σου

Θα σκοτώσω πιο εύκολα
Τον γυμνό ψυχισμό μου από λάθος

Από λάθη δεν βαφτήσανε ήρωες τ’αδέρφια σου;

Δες τ’αδέρφια τους
Δες πως κρύβουν το φως και το βάθος

“Την Ελλάδα αγαπώ και το πάθος”
Στον δικό μας τον αγώνα
Ποιό ήτανε το λάθος;

“Την Ελλάδα αγαπώ και το πάθος”
Στον δικό μου τον αγώνα
Ποιός θα μου βρει το λάθος;

***

Love, it grows

From the hard times
To those, that can be found
Near us

So near
That no sky can be seen
That no dreams, can be dreamed

That our hearts open speak
Of calmness, and ask, God to be
Calm

In life which is
Breathing, still
Up high
During these phycho – times
I am expected to enter into
A universe, which is
Transparent

While human compassion
Is limiting itself
By only existing
On earth
Preparing to build again
In Athens, Greece
New temples of worship
I will fly, freer than ever, within you

My internal world will be easily killed by mistake

Is it true that mistakes portrayed your brothers as heroes?

Can you see how you’re hiding the depth of your light?

“In love with Greece I am in love with passion”
What was the mistake in our struggle for freedom?

“In love with Greece I am in love with passion”
Who will find the mistake in my own freedom struggle?
