♬ Lyrics

Parakseni ki' alokoti i agapi
Elpidha ston anemon to horo
Panemorfi thea sto stavrodhromi
Arheon pandodhinamon filon
Sto stoma tu lau, mikri patridha
Filevis mia leksi tromeri
To ksero kapu mesa su antehi
I asinori pakosmia areti
Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Alithia tu pandos
Anastasi fotos
Tis aniksis horos i eleftheria
Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Sti proeonia ti yi
Yia tin arhegoni i kravyi
Tis niotis i yiorti i eleftheria
Yenesis, Yenesis
Sti dhisi tu eona, mia apati
Ipsonete, horizi, thieri
Ma kapia ali alithia mas enoni
I pisti stin irini, andohi
Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Alithia tu pandos
Anastasi fotos
Tis aniksis horos i eleftheria
Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Sti proeonia ti yi
Yia tin arhegoni i kravyi
Tis niotis i yiorti i eleftheria
Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Sti proeonia ti yi
Yia tin arhegoni i kravyi
Tis niotis i yiorti i eleftheriа
Yenesis, Yenesiѕ
