To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

Henry Miller, 1891-1980, American author

"MMATKIA VAUMENA"

Your eyes are so heavy that you can't even see them at all.

Because these things that happen are all against the law.

Stay in my arms and hold on tight.

Explosions are raging around, killing your children.

Your eyes are so piercing, my dear, your ears are so piercing.

In unbearable pain, within your steps.

Your lifeblood is crumbling and your sanity is melting.

You turn your neighbors away, despair grips you.

I'm tired of being tested, I see how they're making you feel better.

When you strike the healer, the spears quiver.

You gasp, you ask if they caught you early.

To leave, to be scattered, their glory was conceived?

The neighborhood became a wasteland

He embraced our labors of war in farewell.

It cries that people are being buried in the dirt and dust

For so many days the king wandered in the land.

Others have been well-fed, though they have been found in vain.

Others, in the process of being built, became catacombs.

Little, little, little babies were left in the middle of nowhere.

Their dreams and life became a nightmare.

The sparks turned into tiny ruins, mountain peaks

So that you know who you are punishing.

I see a bad party, it's enough, it's drinking

He sues a landowner who has been evicted from his home.

Your studies are hard, don't complain to me.

It takes a long time for this evil to be reborn.

I can't erase the pain of a disease, no medicine can.

But I will never step on my father's steps again.

The soil you trod, the path you walk on,

You're afraid you'll never see him again, you feel hopeless.

But I have sworn a solemn oath, and I will keep it.

Mom, I'm cleaning your house for you, my dear.

I leave it to the enemy, I catch it with the scythes

Like a traveler's luggage, like a fox in a cage.

Strong as you built it with drama and with effort

Before they drink it, I will find a way.

Ours is to take it, it is well that it has been established.

New enough for you, without wars and mistakes.

Turn upon my laws, O swordsman!

Lost, jeans are tight for a long time.

Your eyes are always closed until it fades away

The war that began in a country and a port.

An unjust, inhuman old man is studying you.

Breathe hard, Nakkurin, for you are breathing like a languor.

Like you used to accompany me when I was a baby.

Accept that I will take care of you while you are with me.

Our times are difficult, but you are your fury.

You are a shoulder to lean on for your own peace of mind.

Come, it would be better if we went far to join the army.

But always remember, someday we will turn to you.

Our land is in peace, the grizzlies are talking, you should catch it

But you're my mother, you remembered where you were.
