She says that:
Refrain
Two days ago in a bar called shipwreck (a term often used to point at a business went wrong or a relationship went wrong lots of meanings here). She found herself to having a lot of drinks with a saint. He was seating next to her and instead of communion wine he was using whiskey and water
She asked him was he was doing there, because this is not a place for a saint. And he replied that she was absolutely wrong, because there (at the bar), the fears and passion of people exist (so I suppose it has religious interest, lol!)
He looked around the place and saw the non drunken and the drunken people stating to the singer: my child I love the damned
Also that if you want to experience holiness you first have to be sinful,

It is not about sex or people's hung ups such as lesbian or non. It is about life. The Saint loves the siners (kolasmenous). He is there and if they act in a timely fashion and repend (metanoisoun) then they become saints...and saved as our Protestant Friends desire! A Briliant piece of lyrics and music from the beacon of freedom and democracy...Greece

It's not about lesbians, at least not exclusively. The singer talks about a night she was drinking in a bar and next to her was a saint. He was there to save people from sin because that is the place where people's fears and passions reside. As she says in one of the verses "I said to him holy saint what are you doing here? This is not a place for a saint" and he said to her "My child you are gravely wrong, here lies people's fears and most secret passions." I hope this explains the lesbians...

Here is my own translation, which does not respect the rhythm of the song but is more a literate translation of the lyrics.
(Arleta) Late, two nights ago I found myself having drinks with a Saint
He was sitting in the stool right next to me communing with whiskey and water
thodorix1 1 year ago
(Chorus) Late, two nights ago I found myself having drinks with a Saint
He was sitting in the stool right next to me communing with whiskey and water
(Arleta) I told him : "Old man what are you looking for here ?
This is no place for a Saint"
He answered me : "Child you are awfuly mistaken
Here there is the fear and the passion of mankind"
thodorix1 1 year ago
(Chorus) Late, two nights ago I found myself having drinks with a Saint
He was sitting in the stool right next to me communing with whiskey and water
(Arleta) He looked around him at the poor and drunken
and told me "I, I love the sinners,
I you want to hallow you have to sin
And if you have the time, you may repent"

correction : "If you want to hallow" and not "I you want.."

and if you wish you can still repent (meaning you always have the chance of)
Finally she re- repeats the refrain adding that at the end the saint paid the bill!
I hope this was helpful, and that my fellow Greek language speakers agree with the translation!
