Lyrics

Never pity a valiant man not even if he misses,
and if he misses once or twice, he's still valiant and brave.
Ηis door will always be open, his table will be set
and all his friends will drink for him.

The men who are big and brave, the men who fight the wars and fall know that in every battlefield the bullets go both ways,
the bullets are for them all.

Original Lyrics

Ο αντρειωμένος

Tον αντρειωμένο μην τον κλαις όντε κι αν αστοχήσει,
μ’ αν αστοχήσει μια και δυο πάλι αντρειωμένος είναι,
πάντα 'ναι η πόρτα ντου ανοιχτή κι η τάβλα ντου στρωμένη,
χαροκοπούν οι φίλοι ντου. 

Oι άντρες οι φανήσιμοι κι οι καστροπολεμάρχοι
πως είν’ οι μπάλες δανεικές κατέχου ντο στη μάχη
.
