[ioannisgr]

The guy speaking in ancient Greek in the first seconds is actually the lyricist, Antonis Pappas

It's my favourite Geek entry ever! Best thing we ever sent!

το πιο σπουδαίο και ωραίο τραγούδι που γράφτηκε για τον ευρωδιαγωνισμό.. μιλάει η πατρίδα μου μέσα από αυτούς τους στίχους..Ποιά προσευχή για αυτούς που σε πονούν πατρίδα μου;..

Επίκαιρο όσο ποτέ

[johny7even]

someone had already tranlated it on a comment : "they polluted this land(earth) whithout beeing aware of the blasphemy,which they commited" . I t is ancietn greek and is reffering to fyrom and the stolen greek history i think but not sure. great song though, kind of byzantine music :s

[amite100]

can someone translate the first "prayer" words at the start ?

[EmperorAtahualpa]

This song was so far ahead of its time. It was simply misunderstood. :( It deserved to be the winner!

[isiwalu9]

cool

[gyzoveiko]

great song...soo nice :)

[dunedainsoul]

Oh and sorry about the politics. But sometimes I must say/write some things.

[dunedainsoul]

He gave autonomy to 4 Serbian regions : Montenegro, Kosovo , Vojvodina ( north Serbia ) and Skadar ( today part of FYROM and Albania ). Now both Greeks and Serbians have problems because of Tito. But we must be strong my Orthodox brothers. Fight for Cyprus, Kostantinople ( Istambul ) and Macedonia. I think that my country has no strenght right now for fighting, but in the near future we will

[dunedainsoul]

He did the same thing with Kosovo. But the biggest mistake was Yugoslavia. He putt together in one country 3 religions: Ortodox ( Serbia, Montenegro, FRYOM ) , Muslims ( Bosnia , Albanians in Kosovo ) . Catholics ( Croatians, Slovenians).

[dunedainsoul]

Tito wanted more and more power so he made up Macedonia so he can get it in Yugoslavia. We all know that south Macedonia is part of Greece. To the north and are Serbians and east Bulgarians but those Albanians are everywhere. So Tito made up F.Y.R.O.M. that should not exist at all. The true Macedonia is in northern Greece and south part of FYROM. Tito left all of Balkan in problems.

[dunedainsoul]

This is a very beautiful song , it sounds holy somehow. I read some comments, why do you Greeks fight with Macedonians. They are not to blame. Be angry on Tito ( Croat ) president of Yugoslavia. And be angry on Albanians. It all started with Tito....

[co17179]

can someone tell me the meaning in English, pls.

i love the song

[jethrosesc]

What kind of prayer in Greek

[diathell]

actually the first verses,where the man speaks,

are in ancient Greek giving a summary of the song's meaning and go like:

"they polluted this land(earth) whithout beeing aware of the blasphemy,which they commited"

[kaly13]

Which, of course, is a pun for Macedonia, which is Greek by ANY mean!!!

Η Μακεδονία ήταν, είναι και ΘΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ.

[diathell]

Ακριβως.Κι αν παρατηρησεις στο 1:24 λεει "ενα αστερι ειχα μονο και το απαιτησανε" και εννοει το αστερι της Βεργινας προφανως.

[kaly13]

Ε, βέβαια και το παρατήρησα!!

Είναι από τα αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια στο διαγωνισμό!!

[niki89m]

Only the name of Makedonia is greek :)

The land belongs to Bulgaria. Sorry guys :)

[kaly13]

Greek, the name.

Serbo-Bulgarian, the land.

The Skopjans don't belong ANYWHERE!!!

[niki89m]

Yes. And we all be happy if this happens, but the skopjans shit don`t give up. We bulgarians have a saing - "Що е маке, все е лайно" translated - which is skopjan - it`s a shit :D No one wants them (only albanians. They so hate us but 14 000 skopjans have bulgarian passport :D And they sooo hate us :D They stole our language, our culture, our history! And they hate us. Isn`t that a shit?

[kaly13]

They stole YOUR language, YOUR history, YOUR culture and they HATE YOU!! You guys, were the FIRST that recognized them as "Republic of Macedonia"... it's OUR name. But you didn't respect us!! As they did first... we all think in Greece that there is some kind of "bond" between you and Skopje. We think that you are friends together!! But, we DEFINITELY appreciate you more than the Skopjans...

[niki89m]

Not the people! The polititions recognized them as a nation! One of the biggest mistakes of our government! There isn`t a bond between us and them. Too bad that you don`t know our language to read what scandals are getting between bulgarians and macedonians. And here in youtube too. We hate them! We don`t want them! We just want our land :D And we love Greece. Expecially because you keep your history and don`t sell it up to this... like I said shits :)

[Artemidiass]

@co17179 “They wanted to remove this land's honour

Without realising the insolence they were committing...” I had a fortune (History) and they abused it

They committed sacrilege and they weren't even ashamed

They didn't think of my life's history

Which prayer shall I say for their sins?

Which prayer can I say so they can be saved?

I drop wine to purify their sins

Which prayer shall I say for those hurting me?

The song says about the name Μacedonia.both topical!Devoted to Greek politicians

[pexlivanos1980]

una delle canzoni piu bella mai andate in eurosong.

[alphabibo]

awesome entry! one of my favourite greek entries!

[alphabibo]

i so agree. it's a masterpiece!

[bobogreek]

by far the best greek entry ever!!! i have heard a remix of this song on radio but i cant seem to find it!!! can anyone help?

[DAGONIGHT]

This is my favourite Greek entry of all times. Such a lovely song. I think the problem with not so high rating at the ESC had to do with the absence of choreography and maybe some dancers in the performance. This song just needed some mystic dancers and moves to accompany gorgeous Elina.

[ioannisgr]

this is my favourite greek entry and only one among 3 or 4 that im proud of sending to the ESC along with Anixi and Olou tu Kosmu i Elpida

it's surprising that although it's a song that's more or less the same 'style' or so to the winning one, Nocturne, and it was the last performed, which usually is an advantage, it got so few votes... nowadays we have the Eastern Soviet block, back then it was the Nordic one

still very proud of this entry; fantastic song

[tartaros09]

that is a GREEK entry!

[pushDAlimits]

Steta sto politika dvoi milijoni luge na planetava, megu koi i dve sosedni zemji na balkanot. :(

[KFSBTYR]

[erixthonios]

Κορυφαίο!

Εγώ προτιμώ να στέλνουμε τραγούδια με χαρακτήρα σαν κι αυτό κι ας πατώνουμε παρά αυτές τις κονσερβοποιημένες αγγλόφωνες μαλακίες τύπου Παπαρίζου και Σαρμπέλ

[panarkas]

Σωστά. Και τα λόγια.... Ταιριάζουν τόσο πολύ στη σημερινή κατάσταση στην Ελλάδα.

[xy233]

after cleopatra the best greek entry.really strong and erotic

[Sasssoula]

I agree, that was one of our best entries... Back in the day when each country's song was in its own language... The Kaiti Garbi song was awesome too. Wow, this is moving. I used to be such a Eurovision dork when I lived in Gr

[dannielagr]

The same person who made this song is the one which made:

1.2001 - Antique/Die for u.

2.2007 - Tamta / With Love (which didnt win the national final).

3.2005 - Antzelica.Arg./Belarus/love me tonight(which didnt pass the semifinal).

IMO this enry ia among the best Greeks entries ever having as first:

1.1992 - Olou tou kosmou h elpida / Cleopatra

2.1991 - Aniksi /Bossou.

[pameitalia]

[mikek74]

bravo elina!!! fonara kai tragoudi idietero me noima!!!

[panarkas]

Το μόνο τραγούδι που μου αρέσει από αυτά που στείλανε για να εκπροσωπήσουν την Ελλάδα στη Eurovision. Πολύ υψηλό το επίπεδο του τραγουδιού για τη Eurovision, γι' αυτί το λόγω και πήρε χαμηλή θέση.

[andreasgrits]

Mipws telika o Zeljko Joksimovic den itan kai toso prwtotypos..? Just wondering!

[ihatexerxes]

My favourite Greek entry ever ! Beautiful song, it's just such a pity that the people who vote don't appreciate good music !

[johnymelley]

When you vote gays and lesbians... in eurovision there are a really perfect SONGS!!

[johnkaponi]

The best Greek entry to date, excellent this is what we Greeks should bring to Eurovision. Well done to Sarbel great work to get 7th.

[noellian]

My favourite of all greek entries for the contest... Great lyrics, great melody.Its a pity that this contest doesnt treat its songs right.. Music has no boundaries but we prefer to keep music as a prisoner of our own narrow-minded "gainings"... At least tonight's contest gave the 1st place to a song that actually worth it. Well done serbia!

[Paokara1926Salonika]

WRAIO KOMMATI

[mermaidliz]

episis, ofeilo na toniso... "apsegadiasti ermineia" bravo stin Elina.

[phaethon1979]

This tune never fails to give me goosebumps, so atmospheric and moody. This is an allegory for Hellas, I take it..if so, why would she want to pray her adversaries? if anything she should be mustering up the mother of all megabitchy curses. Typical 'martha vourtsi-esque' victimisation, methinks. Lobby against Hellas...actually it's a lobby against humanity that's leading us, with success, into becoming unquestioning consuming automata for them to line their pockets even further

[mermaidliz]

It's funny Nicole..I was about to say the same thing. we don't happen to know each other by chance, do we??

[nicoletranslator]

Toso oreo tragoudi kai meta sou lene den iparxei lobby kata tis Elladas... Vre oust!!!

[basirlikoy]

hii guys how i can download this song!!its marvelous!!!

[bobogreek]

isnt there a new version of this?

[jethrosesc]

It's the ESC version of the Greek entry of 1995.

[multimediaperson]

I know this wil sounf funny, but this lady really looks like this hairdrasser from my hometown in Portugal. Anywayn I remember watching this when I was 14 and remember wishing it to be top5 (

[kerosingirl]

what a song that so i think should be in top 5

[ATHANATOS13]

what a great melody!

[mikek74]

yes...she is marianda!!

[reneecy]

Marianta Pieridi is backing vocals? ;) i think so

[Gaidichka]

This goes out to all those who have tried to steal her throne and her star. You know who you are. ;)

[alex07091978]

This is a great song!!
