Ta matia sou
Na htan mouskemena
Kaneis de tha filouse
Kaneis allos apo mena

Pws na rthei to deilino
Afto pou ezisa konta sou
Sto perigiali
Ths kardias sou

Mono mia stigmh
Ths hremhs thalassas
Pou se krata
Agyrovolimenh
Stin eftyxia tis thymishs
Oti eimatan mazi

Afth mono th stigmh
Thelw na mou ferei
To peristeri avrio
Na petaksoume mazi

Sta oneira mas
Mhtera glykia
Mhtera aiwnia
Eva kai Ellada

Ma twra ta vimata sou
simanan pws epistrefeis
sth dikia sou
tin Olodikh zwh

Opws tosoi alloi
etsi kai esy
hrthes na me giatrepseis
na mou kratiseis syntrofia
Ma koita ti synevei ksafnika
me skepase me th kouverta ths
h allh vouvh syntrofisa
twn kairwn kai twn exthrwn
Na th! Kseprovalei xamogelasth
apo ta vouna pou ksysan ton ourano
san efyges
Na th! Hrthe na mou kratisei syntrofia
h varia h Olodikh mou monaksia-
