Ta Paidia Tou Pirea (Version 1960)

Ap to parathiro mou stelno
Ena dio ke tria ke tessera filia
Pou ftanoun sto limani
Ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera poulia
Pos ithela na eho ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera pedia
Pou san tha megalosoun ola
Na ginoun levendes gia hari tou Pirea
Osso ki an psaxo
Den vrisko allo limani
Treli na m ehi kani Osso ton Pirea
Pou otan vradiazi
Tragudia m aradiazi
Ke tis penies tou allazi
Gemizi apo pedia
Apo tin porta mou san vgo
Den iparhi kanis
Pou na min ton agapo
Ke san to vradi kimitho
Xero pos, xero pos tha ton onirefto
Petradia vazo sto lemo
Ke mia han... Ke mia handra filahto
Ke ta vradia kartero sto
Limani san tha vgo kappion ahnosto na vro
Osso ki an psaxo
Te vrisko allo limani
Treli na m ehi kani Osso tou Pirea
Pou otan vradiazi
Tragudia m aradiazi
Ke tis penies tou allazi
Gemizi apo pedia
Ap to parathiro mou stelno
Ena dio ke tria ke tessera filia
Pou ftanoun sto limani
Ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera poulia
Pos ithela na eho ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera pedia
Pou san tha megalosoun
Ola na ginoun leventes gia hari tou Pirea

Children of Piraeus (Version 1960)

From my window I count
One, two, three and four friends
Who arrive at the port,
One, two, three and four birds.
How I wish I had one, two, three and four kids
Who would grow up
To become sailors for the glory of Piraeus.
As much as I search,
I can't find another port.
How crazy you made me, Piraeus,
When at nightfall
You whisper songs to me
And change your sorrows,
Filling up with children.
As I leave my house,
There isn't anyone
Who doesn't love it
And as the evening grows dark,
I know that I'll dream of you.
I put pebbles in the lemon tree,
And one by one... I kiss them.
And every night I wait in
The port, in case an unknown ship arrives.
As much as I search,
I can't find another port.
How crazy you made me, Piraeus,
When at nightfall
You whisper songs to me
And change your sorrows,
Filling up with children.
From my window I count
One, two, three and four friends
Who arrive at the port,
One, two, three and four birds.
How I wish I had one, two, three and four kids
Who would grow up
To become sailors for the glory of Piraeus.
