I apologise- Giannis Miliokas

them 56 gr
The most special song of Yiannis Miliokas… And personally for me, the best and most touching. I cry every time I hear it and think of my grandfather.. Thank you, John.
Lyrics:
I will sing you a song like water
for those who fought and are still enduring
I should have written this a long time ago
for this I humbly apologize first
In a small neighborhood clinic
I went to get some x-rays
and I saw people of an older generation
who were waiting for the doctor's instructions
It was quiet as if I had entered a sanctuary
and they were all my father's age
my old man is long dead now
but he had managed to enjoy three grandchildren
I kind of took a quick look
I've never seen such a mess
and all this forgotten old age
they will be war cripples I thought
One was missing a leg
another had his hand tied and was in pain
the third wore a collar around his neck
and another was carrying his lady
My mind went to my father again
when he told me stories at night
as if now I remember him in pain
and to speak of the dead and wounded
And all of them for my own freedom
they lived years of occupation and tyranny
they were girls and boys
and they were fighting in the mountains of Albania
I had been given a free life
and whatever I was I owed to them
and they were so simple in their old age
they didn't wear any decorations or louse
Honest persons without ego
even if they had lost everything during the war
with a smile and some respect
everything they drew would have been forgotten
I suddenly felt a huge shame
I bent down and was speechless
tears came to my eyes and I held back a lot
and luckily I had my glasses with me
I will sing you a song like water
for those who fought and are still fighting
I should have written this a long time ago
for this again I humbly apologize.

Giannis Miliokas

Day by day, time counts time and decision is sought.

Our Life is an Admission.
We go for the best;
We watch others;
We comment on others;
Our Journey, characterizes us all.

Good morning Sunday,
everything starts with you,
it all comes down to you.

In the Greek language,
your Name is Substantive.
Sunday in Greece,
It has inestimable value.

Good morning on Monday,
may we all be blessed.
May we have health and strength
and joy of Creation.

good morning, day Tuesday,
a day of anticipation,
at the beginning of the week,
where, everything is to be done.

Good morning Wednesday,
third day of the week,
a little always confuses them,
central is or medium;
The old years, however,
half was a holiday.

Good morning Thursday,
one more day remains,
but what's wrong with you?,
day you are blessed,
of Human Society.

Good morning Friday,
Greek Christians day,
it has unshakeable substance,
and for others, little value,
but also a work stoppage
and resting principle.

Good morning Saturday,
may we all be well,
Helium; Air, Rain or Snow;
In the morning shopping hours,
T’ afternoon rest,
hugs and love.
