Rigas Feraios - Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

English

War hymn

For how long guys, we'll be living in the passages1
Alone like lions, on the backs of the mountains?
Living in caves, seeing branches,
To leave the world2 due to the bitter slavery?

To lose our brothers, homeland and parents,
Our friends, our children, and all of our relatives?
An hour of freedom is preferable
To forty years of slavery and imprisonment.

What good is it if you live in slavery?
Think that they grill you, every hour in the fire
A vizier, a translator, a master and if you stand up
The tyrant unjustifiably makes you get lost3

You work all day, doing everything he tells you
And he does whatever he can again, to drink your blood
Soutzos, and Mourouzis, Petrakis, Skanavis
Gikas and Mavrogenis 4 are a mirror, you'll see it

Brave captains, priests, common people
Agas5 were also killed, by an unjust sword
And countless others as well, both Turks and Greeks
They lose life and wealth, for no reason at all

Come longingly, this time
To make the oath, on top of the cross
Smart advisors, with patriotism
To appoint everywhere, so they can guide us

The laws to be the first and only ruler
And the leader of the homeland to be only one
Because anarchy, is like slavery
Living like beasts, is a harder fire6

And then with our hands, pointed towards the sky
Let's say, from our hearts, these things to God

Here the patriots stand up
And raising their hands towards the sky
They take the oath

Oh King of the world7, I swear to You
That I'll never succumb to the opinion of the tyrants
Nor work for them, nor be fooled by them
And surrender myself for their ranks8

While I live in the world, my only purpose
Will be the same, to destroy them
Faithful to the homeland, I'll crush their occupation
So I can be inseparable, from the general

And if I break my oath, let the sky shine
And completely burn me, for me to become smoke

End of the oath

East and west, south and north
For the homeland, all of us, must have one heart
So everyone can live free, independently of their faith
Let's run together in the glory of war

Bulgarians and Arvanites9, Armenians and Greeks
Negros and whites, with a common momentum
For freedom, to draw our sword
Let it be heard everywhere that we're manly

Those that went abroad due to tyrrany
Let each one of them come back to their land
And those that farm10 the art of war
Let them run here, so they'll win against tyrants

Greece welcomes them, with its arms open
Gives them life and a place to live, merit and honour
As a church leader, I say to foreign kings
Come so you can be a pillar of your own tribe

It's better for someone to die for the homeland
Than to hang a tassel to his sword for someone stranger11
And those that will bow down, will no longer be enemies
They'll become our brothers, even if they're not Greek

But those that will dare to fight against us
They'll perish, even if they're our people
Souliotes and Maniates12, famous lions
Until when you'll be sleeping, locked in your caves?

Mavrovouni13 tigers, eagles of Olympus
And the smart people of Agrafa13give birth to a soul
Manly Macedonians, rush as one
And suck the blood of the tyrants, like wild beasts

Christian brothers of Sava and Danube
Let everyone come, with a weapon on hand
Let your blood boil, with justified anger
Young and old make the tyrants perish

Proud, manly guys, from the Black Sea
For how long will the Barbarians rule over you?
Don't stand anymore, you unbeatable Lazi people14
Get in the fight, alongside us

Dolphins of the sea, sea monsters of the islands
Charge like a lightning, hit the enemy
Seabirds Crete and Nidra 15
It's the time to listen to the homelands' tweet

You that are in the army, like proud guys
The laws order you to set fire
Alongside us, you too Maltese, become one body
Throw yourself against tyrrany, forcefully

Greece is calling you, needs you, cares for you
Asks for your assistance, in a native voice
Why are you standing there Pasvanoglu16, so ecstatic?
Shake the Balkans, nest like an eagle17

Don't care about the buffoons and the crows
Join the Greeks if you wanna win
Silistra18 and Braila19, Smiley and Kili,
Benden20 and Hotini, invites you

Send your troops, they're also bowing down
Because they can't live in tyrrany as well
Giourtzis, don't sleep anymore, stand up powerfully
You have the reason to look to Prousias

And you that are living carelessly in Aleppo
Waste no time and appear on the field21
Immediately rise up, alongside your army
Never give into Constantinople's decrees22 23

Lions of Egypt, for your first job
Crown as a king one of your own bey24
Egypt's Haratsi25 shouldn't reach Constantinople
So that the wolf that oppresses you will die

With one heart all together, one opinion, one soul
Hit the tyrant on the root so it'll be gone
Let's light a fire to the whole of Turkey
From Bosnia all the way to Africa

Lift the cross up high on the flag poles
And lightning quick, hit the enemy
Never think that he's strong
His heart is beating and he's shaking, as a hare

Three hundred Gkirtzialides26 already have made him realise
That he can't beat them by wearing fabric
So why you're late, why you keep on being dead?
Wake up, don't be against each other and enemies

As our forefathers, rushed like wild beasts
For freedom, they jumped into the fire
The same way us too, brothers, let's at once grab
Our weapons, and get out of this bitter slavery

To slaughter the wolves, which occupy us
And they oppress both Christians and Turks
The cross, both of the land and the sea, should shine
And in front of the righteousness, the enemy will bow down

May the world be saved, from this wound
And we'll be living free, as brothers in the land

Mirror - A Mouth Torn by Outcry

I see my image in the mirror.
I ask myself, with tense lips,
Who this stranger is and what she wants.
Is she staring at me or am I at her?
The mirror says you are the one who once
Wanted to hold the sun in your hands.
But the dark city has become your habitation today.
You’re silently dying in your heart.

I wanted to be like the sky,
To be the savior of the half-dead city,
To be a nest for birds.
With my cold and empty hands,
I shouted, „The moon has come,
The woman warrior has come,
The hatless Che Guevara has come”,
Though I’m a lampless nightwalker.

Thread of Love

United
With a thread of love
Close
With joy in our hearts
In a dream of love
Happy
We whisper like this:
'...Tell me that you always love me and I will be happy
Tell me that we will live united and in a dream I will live...'
United
With a thread of love
Close
With joy in our hearts

Valkyrie

She flew away - the song did not finish
Fell like a star in the darkness
The dew sparkled with tears in the morning
The grass cried in the wind

She looked for happiness, she stood like a stone
Cutting through the storms of passions
Fighting the waves, but she got tired
She went into the abyss, missing in action

Stardust, like eternal reality
She flew from life to fate
A valkyrie, up through the flames of heaven
To eternal captivity.

The heavens are a gentle mother
Will embrace you and understand
Will take you by the hand and lead you
Away from these walls

The wind carries, the night calls
Whispers poems about you
A valkyrie, up through the flames of heaven
To eternal captivity

Someone changed everything, someone cursed our world
Taking the best for themselves
The threads of fate weave silently
Turning dreams into decay

Let the cranes that fly away
Whisper your name
Let the sun that burns so strongly
Whisper your name
Let the clouds that float by
Whisper your name
Let the night that hides secrets
Whisper your name

We struggle with the winds, let's fight with the birds
The crooked angles of life
We go to the mountaintops and do not give up
Breaking the shackles of darkness

The flame of battles - the sun is our banner
And the sword frozen in the hand
I know that our hour will strike
You will meet us at the gates of heaven.

New dawn

The last star has dimmed in a pale veil
Oh...
And already the dawn stretches across the flowered fields, a golden mantle
Oh...
Every window opens to the sky
Oh...
While in the distance, a love song fades on the wind
Oh... The sun rises!

Oh sun
Oh sun, who kisses the Spanish women
It’s you
A caress of light on the echo of a thousand mandolins
Up there
In the sweet warmth
The flowers perfume
Still shining with dew
Mouths ignite with passion
And they sing
For you!
