Ο Διγενής [O Digenis] [English translation]

Digenis is about to render his soul

and the earth fears him

and the tombstone shivers

how will it cover him,

because from where he lies

he speaks as a brave man:

"If only the earth had steps

and the heaven handles

I would step on the steps,

I would grab the handles,

to climb up to heaven

and curl up to sit down,

to give a shake to the sky."
