And if you think that you can escape
they fooled you, mouse, you will pay little by little,
take an eraser or blanco to erase the prisons
and a sponge with chlorine in order to clean the WC
(Have) your head high, your body strained
your fatherland calls you, she (fatherland) wants you to be devoted
have courage and honour her with bravery
as the ancestors were doing fighting in Troy.
And when the weather becomes cold, I will run you mouse (2*)
I will send you to LOK (3*) the wolves to eat you
lazy, stop kidding me
when you hear my voice you will stand still
Perhaps your eye just glazes
I spite when someone yells at me and swears
really I fanaticize like a good center for
from mouse I become I4 (4*)
For how long (I will be) here, alone on this mattress (bed)
when the moment will come, I don’t have more patience.
I don’t stand, (I can’t fight it) (5*)
not to have you close to me (I count reversely the days)
I run to your embrace (away and beyond the confines)
I don’t stand (to be) away from you (301 and today)
Don’t look for someone to help you, you won’t avoid the enema
the army looks for men who have courage and obstinacy
who are tall and strong with tumid muscles
not another iotas (6*) with their ear hanged.
Soldier means to be always strong like a rock
And proud mostly if you are Vlahos (7*)
To bear and make sacrifices all the time
And to be armed (8*) with huge resistance.
To learn to stand still and to know
Don’t talk even if you suffer horribly
To their nasty plans no one objection
Army is just another business.
The days don’t pass, the pointers seem to be stuck
I don’t stand in the watchtower away from you in the nights
I think that from the mosquitoes I have itch
The uniform is to blame or maybe my love for you?
For how long (I will be) here, alone on this mattress (bed)
when the moment will come, I don’t have more patience.
I don’t stand, (I can’t fight it)
not to have you close to me (I count reversely the days)
I run to your embrace (away and beyond the confines)
I don’t stand (to be) away from you (301 and today)
And here it is the moment of the great truth
There where always you need some help
There where you truly need your friends
There where you get accustomed to sleep with fleas.
There where they teach you to love Greece
There where you always eat bean soup for lunch
There where you stay awake all night when the others are sleeping
There where the juntas (dictatorships) usually originate
I don’t stand, (I can’t fight it)
not to have you close to me (I count reversely the days)
I run to your embrace (away and beyond the confines)
I don’t stand (to be) away from you (301 and today)
