Θεσσαλονίκη μου [Thessaloniki mou] [English translation]

Thessaloniki, you great mother to the needy!

You are the one who gives the finest kids their start.

Thessaloniki, you great mother to the needy!

No matter where I go you’re always in my heart.

Thessaloniki, I will never be without you,

You are my home, I say it and I brag about you!

Thessaloniki, oh, however far I wander,

I always keep your sweet name in my memory.

Oh, how I’ve longed to come back close to you from yonder,

To die in front of that White Tower by the sea.

Thessaloniki, I will never be without you,

You are my home, I say it and I brag about you!

Thessaloniki, you’re a town that’s full of feeling.

You raise the girls who are the loveliest in sight.

Bohemian evenings, in the alleys songs are pealing,

In every neighborhood the parties go all night.

Thessaloniki, I will never be without you,

You are my home, I say it and I brag about you!
