Enemy Of Reality - Την Πατρίδα M’ Έχασα | Tin Patrida M’ Ehasa (Official Video)
May 19 marks the remembrance of the Pontian Greek Genocide (1916 - 1923),
one of the darkest moments in Greece’s history. Entire villages and cities were devastated.
By 1923, out of Pontian Greeks who lived in Asia Minor, as many as
were killed and almost all the rest were forced to flee to neighbouring countries.
This was the end of one of the ancient Greek civilizations in Asia Minor.
We will never forget…
‣ This video is dedicated to all those who have been violently forced to flee their homes and countries.

LYRICS (PONTIC GREEK):
ΤΗΝ ΠΑΤΡΙΔΑ Μ’ ΕΧΑΣΑ
Την πατρίδα μ’ έχασα,
έκλαψα και πόνεσα.
Λύουμαι κι αροθυμώ, όι όι
ν’ ανασπάλω κι επορώ.
Μίαν κι άλλο ’σην ζωή μ’
σο πεγάδι μ’ σην αυλή μ’ .
Νέροπον ας έπινα, όι όι
και τ’ ομμάτα μ’ έπλυνα.
Τά ταφία μ’ έχασα
ντ’ έθαψα κι ενέσπαλα.
Τ’ εμετέρτς αναστορώ, όι όι
και ’ς σο ψυόπο μ’ κουβαλώ.
Εκκλησίας έρημα,
μοναστήρα ακάντηλα,
πόρτας και παράθυρα, όι όι
επέμναν ακρόνυχτα.

LYRICS (ENGLISH FREE TRANSLATION):
I ’ve been deprived of my homeland,
I have cried and suffered so
Lamenting and yearning, oh woe
Not able to forget
Just once more
From the well in my backyard
For a drink of water, oh woe
And to wash my eyes
Where are the graves,
Where are the ones I ’ve buried, but never forgotten
Always my kin in mind, oh woe
And soul alike
Abandoned churches,
Monasteries missing their vigil lamps,
Doors and windows, oh woe
Are left wide open
