Zoume s’enan kosmo magiko
we live in a magic world
me fonto tin Akropoli, to Lykavitto
and as background (we have) Akropoli, Lycabetus hill
Gemata ta balkonia, politika aïdonia
the baconies are full, political nightingales
Yposchesis ke agapes ke polychrona balonia
promises and loves and balconies with many years
ki eftychismena chronia
and happy years
Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
and you Helen and every Helen
tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni
of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens
I zoi sou, na to xeris, ine epikirygmeni
on your life, know it,(someone) has put a prize on her head
Na pethenis gia tin Ellada ine allo
to die for Greece is another matter
ki allo ekini na se petheni
and another if its her who forces you to die
Ki esy Eleni ke kathe Eleni
and you Helen and every Helen
tis eparchias, tis Athinas kimomeni
of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens
Zoume s’enan kosmo magiko
we live in a magic world
Ypochthonia doulevi me monadiko skopo
(it's) working (not in a straigh manner) with an one and only goal
Na se basi sto pechnidi, ti zoi sou pos tha ftiaxi
to put you in the game, that it's going to make your life better
Na sou taxi, na sou taxi tin psychi sou na rimaxi
to promise you, to promise you to cosume your soul
Ki otan ftasi na elenchi tis elpidas sou ton pono
and when ti arrives to control the pain of your hope
den tou ftani etouto mono
it's not enough for him
Me glykologa se perni ap’to cheri
with kind words takes you by the hand
Se vaftizi tis Elladas nikokyri
baptizes you Greece's family-man
Ki eki pou les allaxane ta pragmata ke sikonis to potiri
and just right when you say things changed and you rise the glass
Arpazi, klevi t’oniro sou ke tou kani charakiri
takes over, steals your dream and does to it hara-kiri
Ki esy Eleni...
and you Helen
