THE SMILING CHILD
Composer - Mikis Theodorakis
Lyricist - Brendan Behan
It was a morning in August near Rodavgi,
I went out to get old on the flowery earth.
I see a daughter mourning heartbreakingly,
Break my heart I lost the smiling child.
They had a man and courage and I will mourn forever,
His leaping step the laughter the sweet.
Curse the curse at the moment,
Our enemies killed the smiling child.
Ώ, to be killed at the chief's side,
And only from an Englishman's shot to go.
And from a hunger strike in prison,
It would be my honor to lose the smiling child.
My love, I will tell you with love,
I will cry for you for what you did forever.
Because you will defeat all our enemies,
Glory to the unforgettable, smiling child.
