Greek Lyrics: Zeibekiko (With airplanes and with ships)by Sotiria Bellou English With airplanes and with ships and with our old friends we are kicking around in the dark and yet you, you do not hear us. You do not hear us, who are singing, with electric voices, in the underground passages where our courses collide with your fundamental principles. My father, Batis, arrived from Smyrni in '22 and he lived for fifty years in a hidden basement. In that way, all those who love are eating the bad bread and their passions follow them going underground. Yesterday night I saw a friend kicking about like an alien [sitting] on a motorbike and the dogs running after him. Get up, my soul, turn on the power, set your clothes alight, set your insides alight, Like the black breath, let our awful voice blow itself up. Greek Lyrics |
