Alexandros Panayi - "Sti Fotia"
Sti Fotia
Ksekino me kravyi tin boria
Ke to heri mu aplono sti fotia
Ton sophon profitia
Eleye tha me tripisun karfia
Me tin griza mu stoli mathitevo
Ke ton ayio to Theo agapo
Tin alithia nothevo
Ke stathera prohoro
Ki omos dhen pistepsa (Dhe stamato)
Orus andestepsa (Logus tha vro)
Ime o Elinas pu polema (Polema)
Ipan pos hathika (Dhe stamato)
Dhromus mu haraksan (Logus tha vro)
Emina monos mu
Ki omos epezisa
Ezisa sti fotia
I fotia sti psihi mu pu kei
Panda o kindhinos iparhi na svisti
Ap' tis pikras to meli
Pu hinete sa di vrohi
Ki omos prohorisa (Dhe stamato)
Loyia dhen honepsa (Logus tha vro)
Ime o Elinas pu prosperna (Prosperna)
Ipan na mi roto (Dhe stamato)
Logus na mi zito (Logus tha vro)
Ezisa monos mu sti fotia (Sti fotia)
Ki omos dhen pistepsa (Dhe stamato)
Orus andestepsa (Logus tha vro)
Ime o Elinas pu polema (Polema)
Ipan pos hathika (Dhe stamato)
Dhromus mu haraxan (Logus tha vro)
Emina monos mu
Ki omos epezisa
Ezisa sti fotia
(Dhe stamato)
(Logus tha vro)
Ime o Elinas pu polema (Polema)
Ipan pos hathika (Dhe stamato)
Dhromus mu haraxan (Logus tha vro)
Emina monos mu
Ki omos epezisa
Ezisa ѕti fotia
Sti fotiа
Στη φωτιά
Ξεκινώ με κραυγή την πορεία
Και το χέρι μου απλώνω στη φωτιά
Των σοφών προφητεία
Έλεγε θα με τρυπήσουν καρφιά
Με την γκρίζα μου στολή μαθητεύω
Και τον άγιο τον Θεό αγαπώ
Την αλήθεια νοθεύω
Και σταθερά προχωρώ
Κι όμως δεν πίστεψα (Δεν σταματώ)
Όρους αντέστρεψα (Λόγους θα βρω)
Είμαι ο Έλληνας που πολεμά (Πολεμά)
Είπαν πως χάθηκα (Δεν σταματώ)
Δρόμους μου χάραξαν (Λόγους θα βρω)
Έμεινα μόνος μου
Κι όμως επέζησα
Έζησα στη φωτιά
Η φωτιά στη ψυχή μου που καίει
Πάντα ο κίνδυνος υπάρχει να σβηστεί
Απ' της πίκρας το μέλι
Που χύνεται σαν τη βροχή
Κι ομως προχώρησα (Δεν σταματώ)
Λόγια δεν χώνεψα (Λόγους θα βρω)
Είμαι ο Έλληνας που προσπερνά (Προσπερνά)
Είπαν να μη ρωτώ (Δεν σταματώ)
Λόγους να μη ζητώ (Λόγους θα βρω)
Έζησα μόνος μου στη φωτιά (Στη φωτιά)
Κι όμως δεν πίστεψα (Δεν σταματώ)
Όρους αντέστρεψα (Λόγους θα βρω)
Είμαι ο Έλληνας που πολεμά (Πολεμά)
Είπαν πως χάθηκα (Δεν σταματώ)
Δρόμους μου χάραξαν (Λόγους θα βρω)
Έμεινα μόνος μου
Κι όμως επέζησα
Έζησα στη φωτιά
(Δεν σταματώ)
(Λόγους θα βρω)
Είμαι ο Έλληνας που πολεμά (Πολεμά)
Είπαν πως χάθηκα (Δεν σταματώ)
Δρόμους μου χάραξαν (Λόγους θα βρω)
Έμεινα μόνος μου
Κι όμως επέζησα
Έζησα στη φωτιά
Στη φωτιά
In the fire
I start my path with a shout
And I take my hand to the fire
Wise men's prophecies
Told me that I would be pierced with pins
With my grey uniform I learnt
To love the Holy God
I change the truth
And I walk ahead strongly
And I don't believe yet (I do not stop)
I changed the rules (I will find reasons)
I'm the Greek who fights (Fights)
They said I lost my way (I do not stop)
They opened me paths (I will find reasons)
I remained alone
But I lived again
I lived in the fire
The fire which burns my soul
It's always about to be extinguished
By a bitter honey
Which falls like rain
But I went ahead (I do not stop)
I didn't listen to their words (I will find reasons)
I'm the Greek who goes ahead (Goes ahead)
They told me not to ask (I do not stop)
The told me not to look for reasons (I will find reasons)
I lived alone in the fire (In the fire)
And I don't believe yet (I do not stop)
I changed the rules (I will find reasons)
I'm the Greek who fights (Fights)
They said I lost my way (I do not stop)
They opened me paths (I will find reasons)
I remained alone
But I lived again
I lived in the fire
(I do not stop)
(I will find reasons)
I'm the Greek who fights (Fights)
They said I lost my way (I do not stop)
They opened me paths (I will find reasonѕ)
I remained alone
But I lived agаin
I lived in the fire
In the fire
