| Το παλικάρι που 'πεσε | To palikari pou'pese | The palikar who fell | |||||||
| Με ορθή την κεφαλή του, | Me orthi tin kefali tou, | With his head held high | |||||||
| δεν το σκεπάζει η γης ογρή, | Dhen do skepazi i yis oghri, | Moist earth does not cover him | |||||||
| σκουλήκι δεν τ' αγγίζει. | Skouliki dhen d'angizi. | No worm touches him. | |||||||
| Φτερό στη ράχη του ο σταυρός | Ftero sti rachi tou o stavros | Like a wing on his back, the cross | |||||||
| Κι όλο χυμάει τ' αψήλου, | Ki olo chimayi t'apsilou, | Shines down from above, | |||||||
| Και σμίγει τους τρανούς αϊτούς | Ke zmiyi tous tranous aytous | And he joins the proud eagles | |||||||
| Και τους χρυσούς αγγέλους. | Ke tous khrisous angelous. | And the golden angels. | |||||||
Lyrics: Yannis Ristsos (18 short songs from the bitter homeland), music: Mikis Theodorakis.
