    Talking Greek songs for Peace

    Hallo!
    I am looking for songs from all over Europe with lyrics about peace, love between human beings, self respect and so on.
    Could you please help me?
    I know a few Greek/Cypriot singers: Anna Vissi, Evridiki, Helena Paparizou, Sakis Rouvas, Sarbel: has any of them ever done a song about that things? Could you please mention the song and write here the lyrics?

    Thank you very much!

    In 1983 a greek composer called Yianni Markopoulos had composed a hymn for the opening ceremony of the european championship of athletics (hosted in Athens) that was called "θέλουμε ειρήνη" = "We want peace".
    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
    You will never find that life for which you are looking.
    When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
    but life they retained in their own keeping"

    I read about a song named Dinata Dinata by Eleveria Aryantaki and re-recorded by Antique: they said it was about peace and friendship: is that true?

    "Dinata-dinata" has nothing to do with peace, it has some strange lyrics but i don't see a connection with friendship either.
