about

This song was written for a recent campaign against a huge construction that includes golf courses, hotels, shopping malls and other stuff, which is planned to be held within a nature protected area,
The song talks about how the financial crisis here in Cyprus is recently being used by the government and by big developers as an excuse for illegally realizing their projects and not caring at all that nature will be damaged.

lyrics

(English translation below)
Η τζυρά μας ούλλους
Μουσική / Στίχοι / Κύρια φωνή: Αντώνης Αντωνίου

Εξηζουμίσαν σε, τζυρά, εν σου ’μεινεν βλαστάριν
Εσκάψαν σε τζ’ εκρούσαν σε έναν κουπάιν γάροι

Τζ’ οι γάροι ίντα φταίουσιν τζ’ ούλλοι κακολοούν τους;
Τούτους τους ππεζεβέγκηες εν άρρωστος ο νους τους

Πουλούσιν τζαι την μάναν τους αν εν να κάμουν λίραν
Εννά σκεφτούσιν θάλασσαν, γλωρίαν για πανίαν;

Ήβραν τζαι κάμνουσιν τωρά με αφορμήν την κρίσην
Αννοίουν τρύπες μα η τζυρά μέσα ’ννά τους ρουφήσει

==============
Mother and mistress of us all
Music / Lyrics / Main voice: Antonis Antoniou

Earth Mother, they’ve squeezed you dry, no bud was spared
They’ve dug you up, they’ve burned you down,
those mindless stupid asses

Why do asses get a bad name?
When it’s those hustlers with sick minds who are to blame

They’d sell their own mother to earn an extra pound
Would they respect the sea, the flora or the fauna?

They use the crisis as an excuse and do whatever they want
They’re digging holes, but Earth Mother will suck them all in
