The lyrics of the song Ilie mou se parakalo by Giorgos Dalaras translated to English
Ilie mou se parakalo – English lyrics
The birds are found by Charos on the wing
deers when they bow down for water
and me, a tree planted within the earth,
he uproots me every dawn.
My Sun, I beg you
tell those burnt by Charos
to cry the bitterness of the sea-shore
for us who were betrayed
Keeping vigil like a murderer in the dark night
I drink tears, I take in the cheap and dirty smoke
with a knife wound in the heart
I can no longer sing or wait in hope…
My Sun, I beg you
tell those burnt by Charos
to cry the bitterness of the sea-shore
for us who were betrayed
