(from the album « Echotropia » music: Kalyviotis, lyrics: Stassinopoulou)
Born in the heart of winter
Revived in the fires of June
I come and go on earth
Drawning the sun on his chariot
In a glorious ceremony
I dance to cherish his miracle
In the heart of the fire my picture
Every sparkle of sweat my drop
I have many faces
A thousand tribes took me for god
In glorious feasts
All nations cherished me with fire
I have one homeland left on earth
One ceremony that survived time
Masquerades in sheepskin, light for me the fire
Rolling burning garlands down the slopes
I get carried away by the frenzied dance
Of people jumping over the fires
