theme: Nikolaos Mantzaros, lyrics and arrangement: The String Theory Ensemble. Singer: Stavroula Pavlikou, piano Giorgos Paterakis

I’ve been knowing you since long
since you were young and strong
Since the times of glorious blades
till the times of shameful trades.

Rattling bones and wounded pride
mumbling sounds of liberty
swept away by the tide, 
destitution, poverty

Dying spirit on a cross
-be it straight or crook’d a bit-
fantasizing old times’ gloss
or whatever ‘s left of it.
