The lyrics of the song Mpikan stin poli oi ohtroi by Nikos Xilouris translated to English
Mpikan stin poli oi ohtroi – English lyrics
Entered the city, the enemies
they broke the gates, the enemies
and we were laughing in the neighborhoods
the very first day
Entered the city, the enemies
they took our brothers, the enemies
and we were glancing happily the girls
the other day
Entered the city, the enemies
fire they hurled us, the enemies
and we were howling in the dark
during the third day
Entered the city, the enemies
swords they held, the enemies
and we mistook them for holy charms
the other day
Entered the city, the enemies
gifts they dispersed the enemies
and like children we were laughing naively
during the fifth day
Entered the city, the enemies
law they brought, the enemies
and we were shouting long live, hurrah
like everyday
