Everyone sings together: Understand the sun of justice Lyrics: Odysseas Elytis Music: Mikis Theodorakis Understand the sun of justice and Myrsina you doxastic, please don't forget my country! Eagle-like has the high mountains in the volcanoes vines row and the houses whiter in the glaucous the neighbor! My bitter hands with lightning I turn back from time my old friends I call with fear and blood! And together with Mikis: Refusal ( In the perigiali the hidden ) Lyrics: Giorgos Seferis Music: Mikis Theodorakis In the perigiali the hidden and white as a dove we were thirsty at noon but the water was sweet. On the blonde sand we wrote her name Nice that the wind blew and the writing was erased. With what heart, with what breath, what desires and what passion we took our lives; wrong! and we changed lives.
