Kámbos yemátos portokália, ói-ói mána m'
Pou péra os péra aplónet' i eliá
Yíro khrisízoun t' akroyiália, ói-ói mána m'
Kai se thambóni, thambóni i andiliá
Ston tópo avtó ótan tha páte, ói-ói mána m'
Skinés an dhíte, an dhíte sti sira
Dhe tha 'nai kambinng yia tourístes, ói-ói mána m'
Tha 'nai monákha, monákha prosfiyiá
Panayiá mou, Panayiá mou, parigóra tin kardhiá mou
Panayiá mou, Panayiá mou, parigóra tin kardhiá mou
Ki an dhíte erípia gremisména, ói-ói mána m'
Dhen tha 'nai ap' álles, ap' álles epokhés
Apó napálm tha 'nai kaména, ói-ói mána m'
Tha 'nai ta míria khalásmata tou khtes
Ki an dhíte yi freskoskamméni, ói-ói mána m'
Dhen tha 'nai kámbos, 'nai kámbos karperós

Pou tous sapízi, sapízi o kairós
Panayiá mou, Panayiá mou, parigóra tin kardhiá mou
Panayiá mou, Panayiá mou, parigóra tin kardhiá mou
Fields full of oranges, oh-oh my Mother
Where olive trees spread from end to end
Around them, the seashores shine like gold, oh-oh my Mother
And you’re blinded, blinded by the intense light
When you go to this place, oh-oh my Mother
And you see, you see tents in a row
It’s not a camping place for tourists, oh-oh my Mother
They’re only, only refugees
My Lady, my Lady, Soothe my heart
My Lady, my Lady, Soothe my heart
And if you see shattered ruins, oh-oh my Mother
It’s not from other, from other eras
It is burnt by napalm, oh-oh my Mother
Since yesterday, there are countless crumbled rocks
And if you see newly dug land, oh-oh my Mother
Since yesterday, there are countless crumbled rocks
And if you see newly dug land, oh-oh my Mother
They’re not fertile fields, fields
There will be crosses planted on them, oh-oh my Mother
Which will decompose, decompose through time
My Lady, my Lady, Soothe my heart
My Lady, my Lady, Soothe my heart
