Αχ χελιδόνι μου [Ah Helidoni Mou] [English translation]

Ah my swallow, how can you fly

in this blackened sky?

the sunset is dripping blood

and how will you cry, how will you cry,

ah my swallow…

Ah my palikari, the trains have left,

there is no road to leave the country,

and those who spoke of liberation,

tell me where they went, tell me where they went,

ah my palikari…

Ah my dear little heart, imprisonned,

the sun you are awaiting does not come,

only the town-crier in the market-place

deafens you, he deafens you,

ah my poor little heart
