Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Να τανε το 21 να ρθει μια στιγμη
Να περναω καβαλαρης στο πλατυ το αλωνι
Και με τον κολοκοτρώνη να πινα κρασι
Να πολεμαω τις μερες στα κάστρα
Και το σπαθι μου να πιανει φωτια
Και να κραταω τις νύχτες με τα άστρα
Μου ξαναρχονται ενα ένα χρονια δοξασμενα
Να τανε το 21 να ρθει μια βραδυα
The lyrics of "Natane To 21" describe the longing for a past time, specifically the year 1821, the start of the Greek War of Independence. The singer imagines himself riding on horseback through the wide open fields and drinking wine with the legendary Greek hero Kolokotronis. He also describes fighting in castles with his sword ablaze and holding close a beautiful lover under the stars at night. The repeated phrase "μου ξανάρχονται ένα ένα χρονια δοξασμενα" (mou xanarchontai ena ena chronia doxasmena) translates to "one by one, glorified years come back to me" and emphasizes the sense of nostalgia and longing for a bygone era.
Overall, the song glorifies the struggle for Greek independence and the brave figures who fought for it. The vivid images painted in the lyrics transport the listener to a time of heroism and passion. The repetition of the phrase "Να τανε το 21 να ρθει μια στιγμή" (na tane to 21 na rthi mia stigmi) means "may the year 21 come back to me at a moment's notice" underscores the desire to relive that time, to feel the same patriotic fervor and dedication to the cause.
