Pou ftanoun sto limani 
Ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera poulia 

Pos ithela na eho ena ke dio ke tria ke tessera pedia 
Pou san tha megalosoun ola 
Na ginoun levendes gia hari tou Pirea 

Osso ki an psaxo

Xero pos, xero pos tha ton onirefto 
Petradia vazo sto lemo 
Ke mia han…, ke mia handra filahto 
Ke ta vradia kartero sto 
Limani san tha vgo kappion ahnosto na vro 

Osso ki an psaxo 
Te vrisko allo limani 
Treli na m ehi kani Osso tou Pirea 
Pou otan vradiazi

--- English translation --- 


From my balcony I send 
One, two, three and four kisses to the world 
Over the docks of Piraeus fly 
One, two, three and four seagulls, I am told 

How much I’d love to have 
One, two, three and four boys, proud and fine 
And when one day they grow up 
They’ll be manly and strong 
For this precious port of mine 

And when I come out of my door 
There is no one in the world, there is 
No one I don’t love 
And every night I close my eyes and I 
Sleep and I know 
I’ll dream of them just like before 

Jewels around my neck 
A good-luck charm I carry 
Because the night falls and I long 
To find a perfect stranger 
And seduce him with my song 

So much I’ve tried 
I’ve never found a port 
To captivate my heart 
As Piraeus does 

And when the night falls 
The air is filled with songs 
With tunes and sounds and laughter 
Bursting with life and youthful calls
