Αθήνα [Athina] [English translation]

I know a city where asphalt is blazing

and you won’t find tree shade that’s worth

it’s history’s big one it’s fathers amazing

both cradle and tomb of the earth

[Refrain:]

Oh Athens you look like a woman who’s crying

because no one's under her spell

Oh Athens, oh Athens along you I’m dying

you’re dying along me as well

I know a city in all new Sahara

a desert that’s a concrete freak

an immigrant throng, a smuggling plethora

and children not knowing hide ‘n’ seek

(refrain)

I know a city the chaos embodies

an island of pirates and wind

in the streets of Plaka you’re selling your body

for a glass of wine you have sinned

(refrain)
