    Γιώργος Νταλάρας - Πάγωσε η τσιμινιέρα


    Πάγωσ' η τσιμινιέρα
    κι απ' έξω από την πύλη
    εργάτες μαζεμένοι συζητάνε
    Προχώρησε η μέρα
    με δαγκωμένα χείλη
    σηκώνουν τα πανό και ξεκινάνε

    Πέντε καμιόνια στείλαν
    στου φεγγαριού τη χάση
    και γύρισαν γεμάτα απεργοσπάστες
    Γεμάτα ξαναφύγαν
    κανείς δε θα περάσει
    κάλλιο να πάμε όλοι μετανάστες

    Πέρασε ένας μήνας
    οι μηχανές σκουριάζουν
    και τα παιδιά κρυώνουν και πεινάνε
    στους δρόμους της Αθήνας
    φέιγ βολάν μοιράζουν
    εργάτες κι υποστήριξη ζητάνε



    I've found a translation too:


    The chimney is cold


    The chimney is cold
    and outside the gate
    the assembled factory workers are debating
    The day has grown bright,
    with frostbitten lips
    they take up the banners and set out

    Five trucks they sent out,
    at the waning of the moon,
    and they came back full of strike breakers.
    [Still] filled they went away again:
    "Nobody will get through
    we had better all go away as emigrants!"

    A month has passed,
    the machines are rusting
    and the children suffer cold and hunger;
    in the streets of Athens
    workers are handing out fliers
    and asking for support.
    Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery, so make the best of today!

    Loizos is not a poet, he's a composer.
    The lyrics to this song were written by Fontas Ladis.
