AMAN AMAN

from AMAN AMAN EP by Krista Papista

/

about

Part spiritually enhanced manifesto, part ode to decadence, the song tracks the story of Aman Aman a fictitious neo-nationalist girl gang named 'AMAN AMAN' whose members migrated from Afghanistan, Greece and Cyprus to London. The gang is a modern, sarcastic recreation of the Greek political party Golden Dawn; the women are the heroines of every immigrant in London. Unlike the Golden Dawn, they are international, sexually liberated and intelligent while still cultivating the same obsession for power displayed by the leaders of nationalist parties. The song is their anthem, the red Greek flag their banner. The track is their anthem and the red Greek flag their banner.

lyrics

greek:

ine o kosmos sou paradigma
ine i fisi sou mia poli
ki'otan vgenis ta haramata
thase glifi oli i poli

ela mana na mas dis
koritsakia stin agrimia
ela mana na mas dis
koritsares sta londina

ke prin 10 hronia isouna i alitisa tis panagias
se 10 hronia tha se do agio fos ston ourano

re min se perni
re min sou pnigi to mialo
katarameno, xeftilismeno parelthon

ta dino lei, ta dino ola
gia ton lao, gia tin diki mas doxa
mes'to aspro fos, stin fotismeni nihta
ego ime o theos na agiaso irtha
2x

ehis kani tosa thavmata
ise i moni mas elpida
ela evloga tin paranoia
ke kiverna tin patrida

ela mana na mas dis
koritsakia stin agrimia
ela mana na mas dis
koritsares stin vouli mas

ke prin 10 hronia isouna i alitisa tis panagias
se 10 hronia tha se do agio fos ston ourano

re min se perni
re min sou pnigi to mialo
katarameno, xeftilismeno parelthon

ta dino lei, ta dino ola
gia ton lao, gia tin diki mas doxa
mes to aspro fos, stin fotismeni nihta
ego ime o theos na agiaso irtha
2x





Translation in English

your universe is an example
your nature is a city
and when you go out in the early dawn
the whole city will suck up to you

come here mum watch us
little girls in the decadent part of town
come here mum watch us
grown girls in London

and 10 years ago you were the tramp of virgin mary
in 10 years i'll see you as a holy light in the sky

re don't let it get you
don't let it drown your brain
the cursed and humiliating past

(chorus)
I give it she says, I give it all
for the people, for our own glory,
in the white light, in the illuminating night
i am god and I'm here to bless u
2x

you've done so many miracles
you're our only hope
come and bless our paranoia
and govern our country

come here mum watch us
little girls in the decadent part of town
come here mum watch us
big girls in our house of commons

and 10 years ago you were the tramp of virgin mary
in 10 years i'll see you as a holy light in the sky

re don't let it get you
don't it drown your brain
the cursed and humiliating past

(chorus)
I give it she says, I give it all
for the people, for our own glory,
in the white light, in the illuminating night
i am god and I'm here to bless u
2x
