Mario Frangoulis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's to the heroes
Those few who dare
Heading for glory
Living a prayer

Here's to the heroes
Who change our lives
Thanks to the heroes
Freedom survives

Here's to the heroes
Who never rest
They are the chosen
We are the blessed

Here's to the heroes
Who aim so high
Here's to the heroes
Who do or die

(Here's to the heroes)
Mia monacha prosefchi
(Those few who dare)
Pera os pera alithini
(Heading for glory)
Gia panta mesa stin kardia mou
(Living a prayer)

Here's to the heroes
Who aim so high

Here's to the heroes
Who do or die

You are simply the Miracle!
Yes, Greece is where genius singers come from, and now we know that Callas is the land of genius. I love you Marios! ♥

Love the Greek bit in the middle, very apt. My father was in Greece during WWII and was smuggled through the olive groves down I to Pireus for a ship bound for Alexandria when their commanding officer abandoned them, thank you Greek people
