Emena mou to ipane
Kyr Kostaki ela konta
anthropi meraklides

Pos tin kalyteri zoi
Kyr Kostaki ela konta

papia hina mou na'his to krima mou

Mia fora imoun' angelos
Kyr Kostaki ela konta
tora angelizoun' alli
ela teri mou ke pias' to heri mou
....
evga na se do na parigoritho

Oh please God bless that empire, it has devastated everything beautiful in its passage and is known only for its mayhem and butchering... Of the barbarians you were the worst!
