Following is the song in three approaches:



First approach, using the soc.culture.greek contributors technique to handle

the ascii characters to make an aproximation to the greek alphabet;



Second approach, a possible, aproximated "codification" to latin alphabet based

on how lyrics are pronounced and



Third approach, the song translated to english.
