Children of Piraeus Lyrics
Ap to parasiro mou stelne
Na dio ke tria ke tessera filia
Pou ftanoun sto limani
Ena ke dio que tria ke tessera poulia
Posi sela na eho ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera pedia
pou san sa megalosoun ola
na hinoun leventes kia harn tou Piria
Osso ki an saxo
te vrisko allo limani
Treli na m ehi kani Osso tou Piria
Pou otan vradiasi
Trakudia m aradiasi
Ke tis penies tou allasi
Gemisi apo vedia
Apo tin porta mou san vgo
Ten eparhi kanis
pou na min ton ahapo
Ke san to vradi kimiso
xero pos, xero pos sa ton onirafto
Petradia vaso sto lemo
ke mia han, ke mia handra filarto
queda vradia kartero sto
limani sa vgo kappian ahnosto na vro
Osso ki an saxo
te vrisko allo limani
Treli na m ehi kani Osso tou Piria
Pou otan vradiasi
Trakudia m aradiasi
Ke tis penies tou allasi
Gemisi apo vedia
Ap to parasiro mou stelne
Na dio ke tria ke tessera filia
Pou ftanoun sto limani
Ena ke dio que tria ke tessera poulia
Posi sela na eho ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera pedia
pou san sa megalosoun
ola na hinoun leventes kia harn tou Piria
Translated to english this means:
From my balcony I send one, two, three and four kisses to the world. Over the docks of Piraeus fly one, two, three and four seagulls I am told.
How much I'd love to have one, two, three and four boys, proud and fine, And when one day they grow up They'll be manly and strong for this precious port of mine.
And when I come out of my door there is no one in the world, there is no one I don't love. And every night I close my eyes and I sleep and I know I'll dream of them just like before.
Jewels around my neck a good-charm I carry because the night falls and I long to find a perfect stanger and seduce him with my song.
So much I've tried I've never found a port to captivate my heart as Piraeus does.
And when the night falls the air is filled with songs with tunes and sounds and laughter bursting with life and youthful calls.
