SOTIRIS PETROULAS

Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas,
Lambrakis took you, freedom took you.

Martyrs, heroes, lead the way,
Your blue eyes call us.

Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas,
Nightingale and lion, mountain and clear sky.

Martyrs, heroes lead the way,
Your blue eyes call us.

Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas,
Girls, brave lads hold you in their hearts.

Martyrs, heroes, lead the way,
Your blue eyes call us.

[Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas,
Lead your people, lead us forwards!

Martyrs, heroes, lead the way,
Your blue eyes call us.]
SOTIRIS PETROULAS

Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas
Our Lambrakis lit the word in you; it said to be free
Lambrakis drew tho word from you; we must now be free!
Martyrs and heroes are the flames we must follow
His sky-blue eyes still beckon us forward
It's martyrs and heroes who are leading us now:
Eyes of never-dying blue light our way onward

Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas
The nightingale, lion, and mountain, the clear liquid sky
Nightingale, lion, mountain and sky so liquid blue
Martyrs and heroes leading, leading now
Those free blue eyes are glowing before us
It's martyrs and heroes doing the leading now
It's his sky-blue eyes still summoning forward

Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas
Rise before your own, your people--lead us there!
Call upon, arouse your people--lead us on!
It’s martyrs, it’s heroes always showing us how
His burning blue eyes sparking all fires before us
It's martyrs, it's heroes ever leading us now
His blue eyes in us the purest of all fires for us
Sotiris Petroulas, Sotiris Petroulas
