the e-magazine celebrating the rich musical heritage of our diverse cultures

The e-magazine, "M.E.L.O.D.I.E.S.," is the result of the fruitful cooperation of our young eTwinners from Greece (Larissa and Thebes), Italy, Romania, and Turkey and can be considered an inspiring adventure where friendship and cultural exchange are beautifully harmonized by the magic of music. Our eTwinners reflected upon themes such as friendship, love, social issues, dreams, aspirations, nature, and environmental challenges as expressed through the evocative medium of Music Art produced in each partner country. Each national group selected four songs (a song for each theme), translated them into English, and also designed engaging activities to help their partners grasp the deeper meanings of the chosen songs. Then, each partner school chose one of the themes and organized all the materials provided by their partners in a section of this e-magazine.

Have a look at the timeline that sums up the main steps of our working process that led to this emagazine

This project has helped our students compare their perspectives on common issues with their partners, making them more receptive to different cultures, enhancing their creativity, and refining their language, digital, and communication skills.

the e-magazine celebrating the rich musical heritage of our diverse cultures

Each partner school searched for information to write the identity card of their partners' songs and curious aspects of the lyrics, created QR codes to enable readers to listen to the songs, uploaded the lyrics, their English versions, the activities crafted by their partners to help readers understand the true meaning of the lyrics, and curated the linguistic aspect by crafting an interactive multilingual audible dictionary of the most meaningful words/phrases of each song or a multilingual collection of sayings and proverbs from their country about the message conveyed by each song. Finally, each partner school chose one of their partners' songs and sang its chorus in the original language.

Each partner school chooses one of their partners' songs and sings its chorus

Each partner school chooses one of these two options: a) adding an interactive multilingual audible dictionary of significant words/phrases from each song at the end of their section, where all the partners record their voices; b) or adding a multilingual collection of sayings and proverbs from each country about the message conveyed by the songs in their section."

Each partner school searches for information about their partners' songs related to their chosen theme and crafts an identity card for each song that will be uploaded in their section

Each partner school organizes their section in the emagazine: they upload the lyrics, its English version, the identity card of each song, the activities crafted by their partners

Each partner school creates the QR code of all the songs they are organizing in their section

Creation of the emagazine:each partner school chooses the theme for their section

Each partner school analyzes their songs, provide an English version and craft activities about the 4 songs to help the partners understand the lyrics

Each partner school selects a song produced in their country around 4 themes (Relationships, Social problems, Dreams, Natural Beauty)

Song 1 :" Όπου υπάρχει αγάπη”

Open your heart, I am here. In your troubles to stand by you, In the night, in the darkness, I'll be a light and a sign, I'll come to find you, To tell you not to be afraid, you'll never be alone again I'll be here! Together we'll build a world of love and hope We'll paint our lives with the colours of heaven and turn the page We'll join hands and our hearts will win the battle, With a kiss we'll meet with a kiss only as if there is love Give me your dreams I know I can tell you You'll achieve them with a secret As long as you believe, you'll always be searching in your soul The miracle of love, it overcomes every trauma and wound. Together we'll build a world of love and hope We'll paint our lives with heavenly colours and turn a new page We'll join hands and our hearts will win the battle, With a kiss we'll meet with a kiss only as if there is love

SONG TEXT

You can't fight a war alone The heart is an armor It saves us but it wears itself out Sometimes asking for help scares us But a single step is enough, like the first man on the moon Because from the outside you can't see how many times you've cried We were born alone and we die in someone else's heart We are angels with only one wing and we will be able to fly Only by being close to each other I will walk one step away from you And we will stop the wind like inside hurricanes Superheroes Like you and me If you're scared then hold my hands Because when we are close, we are invincible, And wherever I go, you will be with me Superheroes Just you and me Two drops of rain Saving the world from the clouds There are wounds that never go away, not even with time Deeper than they seem They heal on the surface, but deep down they change you I shed so many tears that I started to hate myself But every time I hit rock bottom You were still there Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh When we are apart Every time you cry, the sky cries too Oh-oh-oh-oh I don't have much to give you but I swear that I will walk One step away from you And we will stop the wind like inside hurricanes Superheroes Like you and me If you're scared then hold my hand Because when we are close we are invincible, And wherever I go, you will be with me Superheroes Just you and me---

Non puoi combattere una guerra da solo Il cuore è un'armatura Ci salva ma si consuma A volte chiedere aiuto ci fa paura Ma basta un solo passo come il primo uomo sulla luna Perché da fuori non si vede quante volte hai pianto Si nasce soli e si muore nel cuore di qualcun altro Siamo angeli con un'ala soltanto e riusciremo a volare Solo restando l'uno accanto all'altro Camminerò a un passo da teE fermeremo il vento come dentro agli uragani Supereroi Come io e te Se avrai paura allora stringimi le mani Perché siamo invincibili, vicini E ovunque andrò sarai con me Supereroi Solo io e te Due gocce di pioggia Che salvano il mondo dalle nuvole Ci sono ferite che non se ne vanno nemmeno col tempo Più profonde di quello che sembrano Guariscono sopra la pelle, ma in fondo ti cambiano dentro Ho versato così tante lacrime fino ad odiare me stesso Ma ogni volta che ho toccato il fondo Tu c'eri lo stesso Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Quando siamo distanti Ogni volta che piangi, piange pure il cielo Oh-oh-oh-oh Non ho molto da darti ma ti giuro che Camminerò A un passo da te E fermeremo il vento come dentro agli uragani Supereroi Come io e te Se avrai paura allora stringimi le mani Perché siamo invincibili, vicini E ovunque andrò sarai con me Supereroi Solo io e te Due gocce di pioggia c he salvano il mondo Mi basta un attimo e capisco che ogni cicatrice tua è anche miaMi basta un attimo per dirti che con te ogni posto è casa mia Perché siamo invincibili, vicini E ovunque andrò sarai con me Supereroi Solo io e te....

All About the song

Yellow quince...Bitter-sweet... Lamp at the windowAll of our winter! Sweet, yellow light Like blond I was. Mother put a quince That is slowly ripening by the window... I would bite it, but I'm hurting, A kind of yearning takes over me.. And now when the year passes It's as if I feel it aging. Yellow quince... Bitter-sweet... Lamp at the window All of our winter! My mother had no globes, And no tinsel and no star... With quinces The winter holidays she decorated... Mother put a quince At the window to the road... And I see how it illuminates, I don't have the power to consume it. Yellow quince...Bitter-sweet... Lamp at the window All of our winter! It's as if it's got a clock inside of it And mother's holy cry... Illuminates and withers A quince on Earth. Mother's greatest luxury When we still felt like kids Was the loaf on the table And the quince by the window. Yellow quince... Bitter-sweet... Lamp at the window All of our winter!(x2)

Yellow Quince

Galbenă gutuie... Dulce-amăruie... Lampă la fereastră Toată viața noastră! Lampă la fereastră Toată iarna noastră! Dulce, galbenă lumină Cum și eu bălai eram. Mi-a pus mama o gutuie Ce se coace-ncet la geam... Aș mușca-o, dar mă doare, Mă cuprinde-un fel de jind... Și acum când trece anul Parc-o simt îmbătrânind. Galbenă gutuie... Dulce-amăruie... Lampă la fereastră Toată viața noastră! Lampă la fereastră Toată iarna noastră! Mama mea n-avea nici globuri, Nici beteală și nici stea... Sărbătorile de iarnă Cu gutui le-mpodobea... Mi-a pus mama o gutuie La fereastra dinspre drum... Și o văd cum luminează, N-am puterea s-o consum. Galbenă gutuie... Dulce-amăruie... Lampă la fereastră Toată viața noastră! Lampă la fereastră Toată iarna noastră! (bis)

Song 1 :"Φωτιά Στα Σύνορα Της Γης ”

Σβήσε το φως του δρόμου που δεν αφήνει το φεγγάρι να φανεί, κλείσε την κάμαρά μας σ’ αυτό τον πόλεμο κανείς να μη μας δει. Φωτιά στα σύνορα της γης θ’ ανάψουμε εμείς με σπίρτο την καρδιά μας, φωτιά να σβήσει τη φωτιά που άνθρωποι τρελοί ανάβουν στα όνειρά μας. Κλείσε, τον κόσμο κλείσε μέσα στα μάτια σου που τα ‘χω ουρανό, κλείσε, την πόρτα κλείσε έξω απ’ το σπίτι μας απέραντο κενό.

Fire to the borders of the Earth Turn off the street light that won't let the moon show, shut our chamber so no one sees us in this war. Fire to the borders of the earth we will set with our heart as the match, fire to put out the fire that insane people set our dreams on. Shut, shut the world inside your eyes that I have as my sky, shut, shut the door outside our house will be emptiness without end. Fire to the borders of the earth we will set with our heart as the match, fire to put out the fire that insane people set our dreams on.

All About the song

The crocodile that once was A God to be worshiped, is now sold by you on a shirt only for little money Thirty of you are in a room, even If you're not a soldier And that roof over your head isn't The sky you dreamed of You want to buy and try your Italian that you know You're stuck there your eyes are two white stars like milk What's there in the depths of your eyes and in the looks that you give? Freedom, but it burns more than the sun That you left behind in Africa, not far away The soul has no color The savannah still cries out In your lion pride But this city is scary From brother to brother From my heart to your heart If the skin is different, let's not make the mistake Of not giving each other a hand and letting it happen Of looking at each other with hatred and Avoiding each other on the street Black and white is more beautiful From brother to brother There is no reason to feel different, Now that you live in the city From brother to brother Let's not make the mistake Let's not let it happen Of looking at each other with hatred, of avoiding each other on the street Black and white is more beautiful From brother to brother From my heart to your heart If the skin is different, let's not make the mistake Of talking about races as we do with animals Of thinking wrong, of not being equal Black and white is more beautiful From brother to brother Africa is not far away (From brother to brother)

Il coccodrillo che una volta era Un Dio da venerare tu lo vendi su una maglia Solamente a poche lire Trenta in una camerata anche Se non sei soldato E quel tetto sulla testa non è Il cielo che hai sognato Tu vu' cumprà e tenti l'italiano che tu sai Sei fermo lì Due stelle bianche come il latte Gli occhi tuoi che cosa c'è nel fondo degli Sguardi che tu fai? La libertà, ma brucia più del sole Che hai lasciato là l'Africa non è lontana L'anima non ha un colore Grida ancora la savana Nel tuo orgoglio da leone Ma fa paura questa città Da fratello a fratello Dal mio cuore al tuo cuor Se la pelle è diversa non facciamo l'error Di non darci una mano e lasciare che accada Di guardarci con odio e Di evitarci per strada Bianco e nero è più bello Da fratello a fratello Di sentirsi differenti non esiste la ragione Ora che tu vivi in città Da fratello a fratello Non facciamo l'errore Non lasciamo che accada Di guardarci con odio di evitarci per strada Bianco e nero è più bello Da fratello a fratello Dal mio cuore al tuo cuor Se la pelle è diversa non facciamo l'error Di parlare di razze come con gli animali Di pensare sbagliando, di non essere uguali Bianco e nero è più bello Da fratello a fratello L'Africa non è lontana (Da fratello a fratello)

SONG TEXT

Would you exclude someone from your group due to factors such as nationality, religion, or appearance? Discuss the various factors that might lead people to exclude friends from their group.

Babatunde is a young black boy who lives in_________________, where life is hard. He dreams of a better life somewhere else. One day, he decides to leave and go to a ___________________country, Italy, but once there he feels scared, lonely and sad. He misses the ________________he had in his home. Life is very hard in the new country, he lives in a _________________room with 30 other migrants and he sells things on the beach to survive. People _____________him on the street because they judge him by his skin colour and call him “__________________” . But the song says that we must stop talking about races as with animals because even if we look different, we are all equal and we must _________________and love each other as brothers and sisters because our souls have no colour.

* Vucumprà comes from “vuoi comprare?”, which means “do you want to buy?”. But black sellers can’t pronounce Italian well and say “vucumprà” so, some Italians call black people vucumprà as a joke. They think it is funny, but this is a very rude and racist thing to say.

Stop the planet, because I didn't pay the ticket' To somehow change the atmosphere again (Atmosphere) Stop the planet hates me I'm not in your movie at all If you're looking for me, hang up, I'll call you, me Stop the planet ( Yeah ) I want to go down to the first To get a house overlooking Terra (Terra) (Stop the planet) We want health with depravity Freedom with clear rules Peace of mind with annoyance No work and villas by the sea ( Stop the planet ) We put so much pepper and salt You don't know what meat tastes like anymore he still has Hm, we fall into dreaming C-we get rich playing dice games Let global warming come, let it always be summer He spends the house money outside With my people, at some nonsense ( Planeta ) Stop the planet...

Vrem sănătate nu depravare Libertate cu reguli clare Liniște sufletească cu supărare Munca deloc și vile la mare Punem atât de mult piper și sare Că nu mai știi carnea ce gust mai are Cădem în visare Că ajungem bogați pe la jocuri de "zare" Să vina încălzirea globala Să fie tot timpul vară Banii de gaz îi cheltui p-afară Cu ai mei la vreo "bagabonțeală" Când vine al 3-lea război mondial O să mă găsească la bar Să meargă în linia întăi Orice copil de politician Și mă-sa și tac-su și tot neamul lor Eu de la viață îmi doresc să nu mor Opriți planeta, vreau să cobor la prima Să-mi iau o casă cu vedere la Terra Opriți planeta.....

Opriți planeta, vreau să cobor la prima Să-mi iau o casă cu vedere la Terra Opriți planeta Toți ne mișcăm pe un ritm, doar că e altgoritm Cea mai mare frică acum e să rămâi fără password sau pin Nu ne pasă că murim, ne e frică să nu greșim De la toți inimioare cerșim pe orice rețea, căci așa reușim Oamenii nu mai sunt oameni sunt brand Când ne întâlnim e event Facem pe dracu și nu ne pasă doar ca să ajungem în trend Planeta se încălzește la pol Dar-n suflet e rece, rece de mor Dă-mi o rachetă că eu vreau să zbor Opriți planeta, vreau să cobor la prima Să-mi iau o casă cu vedere la Terra Opriți planeta Că n-am plătit biletul Să fac cumva să schimb din nou atmosfera Opriți planeta că mă ia cu rău Nu sunt deloc în filmul tău Dacă mă cauți închide te sun eu, eu Opriți planeta, vreau să cobor la prima Să-mi iau o casă cu vedere la Terra

Stop the planet, I wanna get off the first one Get a house with a view of Terra ( Ayy, yeah ) Stop the planet We all move to a rhythm, only it's algorithm The biggest fear now is to run out of password or PIN ( Stop the planet ) We don't care that we die, we are afraid not to make a mistake From all our hearts we beg on any network because that's how we succeed ( Planeta ) People are no longer people, they are brands, when we -we meet an event We're doing the damn thing and we don't care, as long as we end up in the trend ( Planet ) The planet is warming up at the pole, yes, in the soul it's cold, cold I'm dying Give me a rocket I wanna fly Chorus: IRAIDA & Puya Stop the planet ( Yeah ) I wanna go down to first To get a house with a view of Terra (Terra)

Gotta Do Something I was in a deep sleep I waked up to its sound I was all sweaty I couldn't get to sleep On the middle of a rod Just in his sixteen They're hitting him.Though, He didn't do anything As if they are landlords They are strangers to their folk And we are the tenants Gotta kick us out of the house One of them is after votes The other one is on rant business If not all hell Something's gotta break loose Gotta do something Hey! Gotta do something Hey! Gotta do something In everybody's opinion Our difference is thin When it comes to swallowing the iron bit Fraudulent scales Inns,bathhouses,lands... Gotta call 'the ones who talk' rebels and lock them up Unsolved crimes... The ones who feed on trash... Tolling bells should wake people up In the middle of a road Just in his sixteen People,if they call themselves humans, gotta do something

IlDerin uykudaydım Sesine uyandım Ter içinde kaldım Uyku tutmadı Yolun ortasında Henüz on altısında Vuruyorlar oysa Bi şey yapmadı Sanki onlar hancı Halkına yabancı Biz ise kiracıyız da Evden atmalı Birisi oy peşinde Öteki rant işinde Kıyamet değilse bile Bi şey kopmalı Bi şey yapmalı Hey bi şey yapmalı Hey bi şey yapmalı Herkesin fikrince Farkımız çok ince Yutmaya gelince Demir lokmayı Hileli terazi Han hamam arazi Konuşanı asi deyip İçeri tıkmalı Faili meçhuller Çöple beslenenler Çalıp duran ziller Uyandırmalı Yolun ortasında Henüz onaltısında İnsan, insanım diyorsa Bi şey yapmalı Bi şey yapmalı Hey bi şey yapmalı Hey bi şey yapmalı

All About the song

Song 1 :"Κράτα Τις Στιγμές ”

There are moments in your life when you live your life And they seem simple but they're there with you Like a sweet dream that needs an explanation It says "I'm here" and smiles at you Keep those moments close to your heart They give life to your dreams Hold the moments that light up your eyes # And behold the farthest ones come right there in front of you Unique moments that will always be beautiful Tomorrow, yesterday, today they sweeten And they're alive in all that remains They'll be the moments that will always bind us

Υπάρχουνε στιγμές που ζεις μες στη ζωή σου Και φαίνονται απλές μα είναι εκεί μαζί σου Σαν όνειρο γλυκό που εξήγηση ζητάει Σου λέει ¨είμαι εδώ¨ και σου χαμογελάει Κράτα τις στιγμές σφιχτά μες στην καρδιά σου Δίνουν μια ζωή ακόμα στα όνειρα σου Κράτα τις στιγμές φωτίζουν τη ματιά σου Και ξάφνου τα πιο μακρινά έρχονται εκεί μπροστά σου Μοναδικές στιγμές που πάντα θα ομορφαίνουν Το αύριο, το χθες, το σήμερα γλυκαίνουν Και είναι ζωντανές σε όλα αυτά που μένουν Θα είναι οι στιγμές που πάντα θα μας δένουν

Song 2 :"Nel Blu dipinto di Blu ”

I think that a dream like this will never come back again, I painted my hands and my face blue. Then I was suddenly carried away by the wind, And I started flying in the infinite sky. Flying… oh, oh!… Singing… oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue, painted blue Happy to be up there. And I flew, I flew happily higher than the sun and even higher, While the world slowly disappeared down there, A sweet music was playing just for me. Flying… oh, oh!… Singing… oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue, painted blue, Happy to be up there. But all dreams fade away at dawn, because when the moon sets, she takes them away with her. But I keep dreaming in your beautiful eyes, that are blue like a star-spangled sky. Flying… oh, oh!… Singing… oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue of your blue eyes, Happy to be down here. And I continue to fly happily higher than the sun and even higher, While the world slowly disappears in your blue eyes, Your voice is a sweet music that plays for me. Flying… oh, oh!… Singing… oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue of your blue eyes, Happy to be down here. In the blue of your blue eyes, Happy to be down here, With you!

Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu. Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito, E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito. Volare... oh, oh!... Cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh! Nel blu, dipinto di blu Felice di stare lassù. E volavo volavo felice più in alto del sole ed ancora più su, Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiù, Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me. Volare... oh, oh!... Cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh! Nel blu, dipinto di blu, Felice di stare lassù. Ma tutti sogni nell'alba svaniscon perché, Quando tramonta, la luna li porta con sé, Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli, Che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle. Volare... oh, oh!... Cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh! Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu, Felice di stare quaggiù. E continuo a volare felice più in alto del sole ed ancora più su, Mentre il mondo pian piano scompare negli occhi tuoi blu, La tua voce è una musica dolce che suona per me. Volare... oh, oh!... Cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh! Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu, Felice di stare quaggiù. Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu, Felice di stare quaggiù, Con te!

Song 3 :"De la capat ”

From the beginning

It is ugly at us and Dunarea dried. Why did you promise me … why don’t you come during summer? If my life was a song, Happy, sad, I would still sing it. I wouldn't miss a single note. If it was a river, I would swim, To the sea I would fallow, I would never stop. Remember Life doesn't have a rewind button to Be able to regain what you have lost, You can’t even pause it When you don’t know what to do. (Chorus:) If tomorrow night would be without a star, If the wind would continuously blow towards me, You would be the reason; you would be the reason to be able … To be able to start from the beginning. If tomorrow the sky would be full of clouds, If no sun ray would touch me in the morning, You would be the reason; you would be the reason to be able … To be able to start from the beginning. I have so much to tell you. The heart is like a crane, That flies towards warmer countries When there is winter in the soul. Maybe will not find them, Maybe will crash. But will never quit, Remember. I would fly all night long Towards the morning, if it was you, The rain wouldn't be able to understand Why I am wet without any rain drops. (Chorus:) To be able to start from the beginning. Oh, oh, oh, oh, To be able to start from the beginning.

Cântec de-ar fi viața mea Vesel, trist, tot l-aș cânta Nu aș rata nicio notă Râu de-ar fi, l-aș înota Pân' la mare, l-aș urma Nu m-aș opri niciodată Știi că Viața n-are buton de rewind Să poți să întorci ce-ai pierdut Nu poți nici să o pui pe pauză Când nu știi ce-i de făcut Dacă mâine noaptea n-ar mai avea vreo stea Dacă întruna vântul, spre mine, ar sufla Tu ai fi motivul, tu ai fi motivul să pot Să pot s-o iau de la capăt Dacă mâine cerul ar fi prea plin de nori Dacă nicio rază nu m-ar atinge-n zori Tu ai fi motivul, tu ai fi motivul să pot Să pot s-o iau de la capăt Aș zbura chiar și-o noapte-ntreagă Spre zorii-n care ai fi tu Ploile n-ar putea să-nțeleagă De ce nu cad când sunt tot ud

WE WILL ASK THE TREES

We will ask the trees How to stay still Between storms and lightning Invincible The trees will answer That their roots are here And their branches dance In unison towards a blue sky If leaves fall in Autumn And buds freeze in Winter As always, Spring will come If a pain seems useless to you And you can't stop the tears Tomorrow, a kiss from the sun will dry them I will ask the larks How to remain humble If wealth is living With just a few crumbs, maybe a little more The larks answer "We were born free" Singing in peace and harmony This melody To rejoice in this enchantment Without desiring much Only that, what we have Will be enough for us And realizing in a moment To be part of the immense Of a much bigger plan Than reality We will ask the trees We will ask the trees

Lo chiederemo agli alberi Come restare immobili Fra temporali e fulmini Invincibili Risponderanno gli alberi Che le radici sono qui E i loro rami danzano All'unisono verso un cielo blu Se d'autunno le foglie cadono E d'inverno i germogli gelano Come sempre, la primavera arriverà Se un dolore ti sembra inutile E non riesci a fermar le lacrime Già domani un bacio di sole le asciugherà Lo chiederò alle allodole Come restare umile Se la ricchezza è vivere Con due briciole, forse poco più Rispondono le allodole "Noi siamo nate libere" Cantando in pace ed armonia Questa melodia Per gioire di questo incanto Senza desiderare tanto Solo quello, quello che abbiamo Ci basterà Ed accorgersi in un momento Di essere parte dell'immenso Di un disegno molto più grande Della realtà Lo chiederemo agli alberi Lo chiederemo agli alberi

AS LONG AS WE LIVE ON EARTH

As long as we live on this earth We still have a holy thing, A plain, a natal village, A bell tower on a hill. As long as we have a holy country And a pan-flute that still plays, As long as our parents are alive, There still exists a holy thing. As long as we care for the springs Or for a song that disappears, As long as we have a holy thing, We will live on this earth. As long as we care for the forests We still have a future, As long as the past we'll remember There still exist holy things. As long as the Morningstar arises And in the sky there's celebration And there's peace on the earth, There still exists a holy thing. As long as we care for the springs, Or for a song that disappears, As long as we have a holy thing, We will live on this earth. As long as we have village far away And a speech that has no death, As long as you have who to call parent, There still exist holy things. As long as we care for the springs, Or for a song that disappears, As long as we have a holy thing, We will live on this earth.

Cât trăim pe acest pământ Mai avem un lucru sfânt, O câmpie , un sat natal O clopotniță pe deal. Cât avem o țară sfântă, Și un nai care mai cântă, Cât părinții vii ne sunt Mai există ceva sfânt. Cât durea-ne-vor izvoare, Ori un cântec ce dispare, Cât mai avem ceva sfânt Vom trăi pe-acest pământ. Cât pădurile ne dor Mai avem un viitor Cât trecutu-l ținem minte Mai există lucruri sfinte. Cât Luceafărul răsare, Și în cer e sărbătoare, Și e pace pe pământ, Mai există ceva sfânt. Cât durea-ne-vor izvoare, Ori un cântec ce dispare, Cât mai avem ceva sfânt Vom trăi pe-acest pământ. Cât avem un sat departe Și un grai ce n-are moarte Cât ai cui zice părinte, Mai există lucruri sfinte. Cât durea-ne-vor izvoare, Ori un cântec ce dispare, Cât mai avem ceva sfânt Vom trăi pe-acest pământ.
