My country/homeland

Narration
and the most well educated backed off
they sat to the beches of shame
so as to talk,let's say, to hide
But still there come the courageous/worthy
the wings have opened in the backdoors (it's something mythological)
they stood infornt and they shouted again
Come and get it (what Leonidas, the king of the Spartans, said to Kserksi the king of the Persians)
It's not a myth don't trick yourselves
in our days you are lost but not forgotten
in these oblivious times
 
Singing
That morning
as if it didn't wanted to dawn
and the day was afraid
as if the sun didn't wanted to shine
so as to do not see the evil thing that was coming
The birds they've hidden in their nests
they felt the great evil
the thousands of breaths
and at once the cards of the wise
where wrapped up in tongues of fire
 
Lightnings and thunders
score cold-bloodedly your body
Dogs in fury
to rip again
(they)want your land like flesh
Lightnings and thunders
score cold-bloodedly your body
Dogs in fury
to rip again
(they)want your land like flesh
My beloved coutry/homeland
which curse is onto you, how much loneliness-desertedness
Your children chosen
to death pledged inside loneliness
My coutry/homeland
 
Narration
Where are you lads?
 
Singing
That morning
as if dawn did not wanted to bring
for the daylight colours
as if the sun did notwanted to give
so as not to see the blood on the bodies
shouts that were shouting "AERA" (air,it's something our soldiers yelled in 1940 in the war with the Italians, in Greece after the loss of the Italians came the Germans)
we will remember that day
the lost country/homeland
To the bosom of Greece till when
will lair leaders traitors
 
Lightnings and thunders
score cold-bloodedly your body
Dogs in fury
to rip again
(they)want your land like flesh
 
Ah Greece sad ,alone/deserted and glorified
how much I love you
The heroes that ask from us to do not give
(to them) to eat more share
My country/homeland
 
Narration
We struggled, gave battles, we've won them
To the top of knowledge, yes we stood
And it was then that on us fell the barbarians
