Άλλες ερμηνείες:
Μιλτιάδης Πασχαλίδης
Όσοι το χάλκαιον χέρι
βαρύ φόβου αισθάνονται,
ζυγόν δουλείας ας έχωσι
θέλει αρετή και τόλμην
η ελευθερία.
Αυτή (και ο μύθος κρύπτει νουν αληθείας)
επτέρωσε τον Ίκαρον
και αν έπεσεν
ο πτερωθείς κι επνίγει
θαλασσωμένος.
Αφ’υψηλά όμως έπεσε,
και απέθανεν ελεύθερος.
Αν γένεις σφ'άγιον άτιμον
ενός τυράννου,
νόμιζε φρικτόν τον τάφον
| | Lyrics: Andreas Kalvos
Music: Mikis Theodorakis
First version: Maria Faradouri
Other versions:
Miltiadis Pashalidis
Let those who feel
heavy the cupreous hand of fear
be under slavery;
freedom needs
virtue and mettle.
It (and the myth conceals mind of truth)
gave winds to Ikaros
and even if he fell,
the one who had winds and drowned,
by sinking beneath the sea,
but he fell from high
and died as a free man.
If you become a dishonorable fatling
of an oppressor,
consider as horrible the grave.
| | | Ikaros = mythological person. While flying to freedom alongside his father, Daedalus, with wings made out of wax, contrary to the orders he had been given before, he ascended to a high altitude, approached the sun, his wings then melted down and he himself fell on the sea and drowned. | nafpaktiakos © 21-05-2007 @ 02:21 |

Ikaros, of course, had wings, not winds. It' s right on the note. |
