Lyrics: Nikos Gatsos
Music: Manos Hatzidakis
The Northern Star will bring the starry sky
but before the sails appear out in the sea
I will become wave and fire
to embrace you foreign land
and you lost distant Homeland
you'll remain a gentle touch
and an open wound
once the sun rises
in another land
...
Work and chores
Dirt and stench
The wolves are gathered
To enter the church
I sleep on gravel
I feed on insults
And this cunning world
Treats me as a worm
Where shall we go, where shall we go?
What will we eat? What will we eat?
I have stollen a tin
Of hot oatmeal
Shut up, shut up, shut up
You did not say anything, neither did I
Say nothing, say nothing,
And swallow whatever you find!
