about

Migration is of all times and places, but Greece has it's own specific history with it. After the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, in which 2 million people were forced to resettle, about one in five Greek citizens was not born in Greece, but was in fact an immigrant.

lyrics

As an exile I wander
in this hostile foreign land
strolling, miserable,
far from my mother's embrace

The birds cry for air,
the trees cry for water
And I cry too, my dear mother, for you
for I haven't seen you in years

Death, take my soul
so I can find peace at last!
Since the black fate wanted me
never to feel joy in my life
