Αχ Ελλάδα σ' αγαπώ [Ah Ellada S'agapo] [English translation]

Best wishes to the Greek who forgets

and in the middle of Chicago lives in freedom

the one who does not know and does not love

- are you sure it isn't your fault as well, miserable wretch? -

and in Athens too, he lives in exile.

Ach, Greece, I love you

and deeply thank you,

because you taught me and I know

how to go on breathing wherever I happen to be

to die wherever I happen to step,

and not endure you.

Ach, Greece, let me tell you,

before you crow like a ****,

you deny me thirteen times.

You push me around, you bully me,

you kick me like a stray dog,

and you hang yourself above me.

The sweetest home

is the heart

- Odysseas, come back to me! -

whose holy soil

is pain and joy

Each single one is one [alone]

in his boundary of pain

and I am just a someone

who takes you for a walk.

Ach, Greece, I love you

and deeply thank you,

because you taught me and I know

how to go on breathing wherever I happen to be

to die wherever I happen to step,

and not endure you.

Ach, Greece, let me tell you,

before you crow like a ****,

you deny me thirteen times.

You push me around, you bully me,

you kick me like a stray dog,

and you hang yourself above me.

er you are...
