|
Και μου πήραν τα χαρτιά
| |
Ke mou piran ta khartia
|
| And took my papers away |
|
Και μου φέραν τα μαντάτα
| |

|
| If only I were at Tinos |
|
Και ν' ανάψω ένα κερί,
| |
Ke n' anapso ena keri,
|
| To light a candle, |
|
Να μιλήσω, να δακρύσω,
| |
Na miliso, na dhakriso,
|
| Let me speak, let me cry, |
|
Να ρωτήσω το γιατί.
| |
Na rotiso to yati.
|
| Let me ask "why". |
|
Πες μου, πες μου, Παναγιά μου,
| |
Pes mou, pes mou, Panaya mou,
|
| Tell me, tell me, Holy Mother, |
|
Τι είναι τούτα τα στοιχειά
| |
Ti ine touta ta stichia
|
| Who are these gnomes, |
|
Που μας βάλανε στο γύψο
| |
Pou mas valane sto yipso
|
| That put us in the plaster |
|
Και μας πήραν τα χαρτιά;
| |
Ke mas piran ta khartia?
|
| And took our papers away? |
| |

| |

| |
Pos dhen ime egho Romia?
|
| That I'm not a Greek? |

| |
|
Η ιστορία τέλειωσε,
| |
I istoriya teliose,
|
| The tale is over, |
|
Τα ζώα στα κλουβιά,
| |
Ta zoa sta klouvia,
|

|
Η θάλασσα απέραντη
| |
I thalasa aperandi
|
| The sea is immense |
|
Κι εγώ πάλι Ρωμιά!
| |
Ki egho pali Romia!
|
| And me, I am a Greek again! |
