He was lulling me to sleep.
megaphone voice
who shouted 'restriction,'
everyone in the houses slaves
I met death.
little child like me
that they brought for the burial
gossip, young men
that the English were killing
Don't talk about freedom.
Then came the Turkish
with sharpened blades,
their passing is a disaster,
blood and dishonor,
Homelessness, they sold us,
The homeland was divided.
And evil hatches eggs
with a multitude of Joseph's children,
with fez Greek-speaking people
everything is selling out
and woe to our mothers
warriors who were buried.
Me, my father
He told me in front of the fireplace
for the Gods of Greece
and for the Parthenon,
how he built a civilization
and taught wisdom!
Me, my father
It made me Greek!!!
