Παναγιά μου (The death of Cyprus)

Panayia mou (The death of Cyprus)
There was a land, a lucid land – don't cry, oh Mother There was a land, a lucid land – don't cry, oh Mother
Goldened with sun and goldened with foreign streets Goldened with sun and goldened with foreign streets
There fields were green with olive groves – don't cry, oh Mother There fields were green with olive groves – don't cry, oh Mother
And blue there waves like crater in the reveries And blue there waves like crater in the reveries
But if you go now to this land – don't cry, oh Mother But if you go now to this land – don't cry, oh Mother
The tents you'll see scattered among the trees The tents you'll see scattered among the trees
Won't be a camping site for tourists – don't cry, Mother Won't be a camping site for tourists – don't cry, Mother
They will be only a camp for refugees They will be only a camp for refugees
   
Παναγιά μου, Παναγιά μου, παρηγόρα την καρδιά μου Panayia mu, Panayia mu, parigora ti karthia mu
Παναγιά μου, Παναγιά μου, παρηγόρα την καρδιά μου Panayia mu, Panayia mu, parigora ti karthia mu
   
And should you stand up on some ruins – don't cry, oh Mother And should you stand up on some ruins – don't cry, oh Mother
They won't be remains left there from ancient times They won't be remains left there from ancient times
They're homes burnt down by napalm bombs – don't cry, oh Mother They're homes burnt down by napalm bombs – don't cry, oh Mother
Lay by the war, by cannons, by darksome kinds Lay by the war, by cannons, by darksome kinds
And if you look above a fence – don't cry, oh Mother And if you look above a fence – don't cry, oh Mother
You won't see people rejoicing in the yard You won't see people rejoicing in the yard
You'll find some crosses, wooden crosses – don't cry, Mother You'll find some crosses, wooden crosses – don't cry, Mother
Rotting in silence, lost in a back yard Rotting in silence, lost in a back yard
   
Παναγιά μου, Παναγιά μου, παρηγόρα την καρδιά μου Panayia mu, Panayia mu, parigora ti karthia mu
Παναγιά μου, Παναγιά μου, παρηγόρα την καρδιά μου Panayia mu, Panayia mu, parigora ti karthia mu
