-----------------------------
Lyrics: Manos Eleftheriou
Music: Thanos Mikroutsikos
Interpreter: Maria Dimitriadi
These ravines and these rocks
And these houses next to the seashore
These mothers with charcoal in their eyes
And these waves that leave and come back
These pines with the inscribed talking
And Konstantinos, the longing that flew like a bird
And those that were not preached by the preachers,
But only by liars and by pimps,
Oh! City with the dusk in the docks
In the market, in the café and in the football
You are Preveza, Ioannina and Kilkis,
Messolonghi, Pontus and Ermoupolis
Oh! City of the Byzantine love songs in the Turko-villages
With these ravines and these rocks
And these houses next to the seashore
With these mothers with charcoal in their eyes
The time will come when the preachers will appear
And not just liars and pimps.

Lyrics: Nikos Gatsos
Music: Christodoulos Halaris
Interpreter: Chrysanthos
Mother, mother
On my way, they sowed
Stone and wormwood.
Mother, mother
My youth was lilted
Under the swords.
My Sky
Send me water
To water the desert
To make sprout
Fresh flower
On my body made of air
Mother, mother
Bring me the spring
On the cross.
Mother, mother
My sun-bathed day
When will I find you?
My sky
Chase away the clouds
For me to cross the border
And one night
On the mountains
I will play the semandrons
Ah! mother, mother
In my hands, today
Burn, the nails.
My Sky
Send me water
To water the desert
To make sprout
Fresh flower
On my body made of air
Ah! mother, mother
Bring me your sun
On the cross.
