Greek window

As everybody probably already knows, 2020 hasn't been very cheerful so far. This coronavirus outbreak has affected pretty much every body on the world, one way or another. Some people are severely affected by having to deal with the virus itself, some others have to be quarantined, others lost their jobs and are struggling to figure out how to live through these tough times. So in my eyes it feels like the world is shut down, like a firmly closed window. And we are waiting for the real heroes out there, scientists, to find a cure to this so we can go back to normal living. Until then, we need to stay home (maybe not close our windows though) and sit tight. Today is Greece's national holiday, we celebrate the revolution against Turkey, which happened 199 years ago. And since it's Wednesday, i couldn't think of a better picture to post on a day like this other than a window taken in Greece! Stay safe everybody!

(Lyrics translated in English - most of these are places/cities/islands in Greece)

The engine starts, the ship sails off

Rap Ska, Reggae Ska, Reggae Hip-Hop

the plane is leaving, goodbye!

Dub Ska, Reggae Ska, Reggae One drop

 

That's how it all started from Athens and Eretria

from Heraklion to Rethymnon to Saint Nicholas (Agios Nikolaos)

 

from Chalkida and Oropos to Katerini

someone says "only anyone who has the courage shall continue this journey!"

 

so imagine, from Preveza and Ioannina to Epirus

We ended up in Naxos and Paros and Antiparos

 

Skopelos Skiathos, we reached Ios

in Samos in Limnos in Chios (farther ..)

 

in Samothrace in Mytilene

in Ikaria in Santorini

 

Sifnos Syros Mykonos and Tinos

and back again Loutsa and Schino

 

Rap Ska, Reggae Ska, Reggae Hip-Hop

From Thessaloniki and Drama to Amyntaio in Serres

Hours and days passed by the coach

 

From Arda, Tychero to Veria and Elassona

and from Xanthi and Kavala to Nea Michaniona

 

Asprovalta, Rastavibe and Alexandroupolis

to Venizelos airport to take the plane and from Corinth to Tripoli

 

Koroni, Kalamata, Areopolis in Mani

Imagine we were coming from Prosotsani

 

from Chania to Ierapetra in Matala Sitia

from Keramoti to Ancient Olympia

 

from Komotini, Kefalonia, Kyparissia,

Ithaca ... oh wait, this story is known!

 

This is Odyssey, it's not a tour

 

Rap Ska, Reggae Ska, Reggae Hip-Hop

Dub Ska, Reggae Ska, Reggae One drop

 

Am I in Rhodes? Am I in Thassos?

I forgot where I am tonight!

 

Where am I tonight guys? In Nestorio!

Where am I tonight guys? To Arda!

Where am I tonight guys? In Gazi!

 

In Gazi tonight our lives meet

microphone in the world to hear our voices

The engine starts, the ship sails off

Rap Ska, Reggae Ska, Reggae Hip-Hop

the plane is leaving, goodbye!

 

in Grevena in Kastoria in Kostarazi in Kozani

I am slowly starting to losing my mind

 

Trikala, Larissa, Volos and Karditsa

From Kalambaka will go to Igoumenitsa

 

For Corfu, Zakynthos, Patras, Lefkada

the Aigio, Kato Achaia in Amaliada

but this team never stopped

playing music all over Greece

 

let's go, all over Greece

no matter what the weather is

heat, cold or snow

 

Let's go, all over Greece

during summer, autumn, spring and winter

 

Let's go, all over Greece

By air and by bus and by train

 

Let's go, all over Greece

stay strong guys, we will endure one more round of this!
