Greek Katyusha - Anthem of the EAM

If you appreciate my work, consider supporting it with a just $1! :) / nestormakhno
The National Liberation Front, commonly known by its acronym EAM, was the main movement of the Greek Resistance during the Axis occupation of Greece. Its main driving force was the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), but its membership throughout the occupation included several other leftist and republican groups. ΕΑΜ became the first true mass social movement in modern Greek history. Its military wing, the Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS), quickly grew into the largest armed guerrilla force in the country, and the only one with nation-wide presence. At the same time, from late 1943 onwards, the political enmity between ΕΑΜ and rival resistance groups from the centre and right evolved into a virtual civil war, while its relationship with the British and the British-backed Greek government in exile was characterized by mutual mistrust, leading EAM to establish its own government, the Political Committee of National Liberation, in the areas it had liberated in spring 1944. Tensions were resolved provisionally in the Lebanon Conference in May 1944, when EAM agreed to enter the Greek government in exile under Georgios Papandreou. The organisation reached its peak after liberation in late 1944, when it controlled most of the country, before suffering a catastrophic military defeat against the British and the government forces in the Dekemvriana clashes. This marked the beginning of its gradual decline, the disarmament of ELAS, and the open persecution of its members during the "White Terror", leading eventually to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War.
Greek Alphabet Lyrics:
Τρία γράμματα μόνο φωτίζουν την ελληνική μας την γενιά
και μας δείχνουν φωτεινό τον δρόμο για να φέρουμε την λευτεριά
Είναι του αγώνα μας τα φώτα κι ο λαός ακολουθεί πιστά,
νέοι, γέροι, όλοι μαζί φωνάζουν: ζήτω, ζήτω, ζήτω το ΕΑΜ
Το ΕΑΜ μας έσωσε απ’ την πείνα θα μας σώσει και πάλι απ’ την σκλαβιά
κι έχει πρόγραμμα λαοκρατία˙ ζήτω ζήτω, ζήτω το ΕΑΜ
Έχει ενώσει όλο τον λαό μας, έχει την ΕΠΟΝ και τον ΕΛΑΣ,
κι έχει πρόγραμμα λαοκρατία˙ ζήτω ζήτω, ζήτω το ΕΑΜ
Greek Latin Lyrics:
Tría grámmata móno fotízoun tin ellinikí mas tin geniá
kai mas deíchnoun foteinó ton drómo gia na féroume tin lefteriá
Eínai tou agóna mas ta fóta ki o laós akoloutheí pistá,
néoi, géroi, óloi mazí fonázoun: zíto, zíto, zíto to EAM
To EAM mas ésose ap’ tin peína tha mas sósei kai páli ap’ tin sklaviá
ki échei prógramma laokratía˙ zíto zíto, zíto to EAM
Échei enósei ólo ton laó mas, échei tin EPON kai ton ELAS,
ki échei prógramma laokratía˙ zíto zíto, zíto to EAM
English Translation Lyrics:
Only three letters illuminate the Greeks of our generation
and show us brightly the path so we can bring freedom
It is the lights of our struggle and the people follow faithfully
Young, old, all together we shout: Long live, long live, long live EAM
The EAM saved us from our hunger and will save us again from slavery
And it has a congregationalist program: Long live, long live, long live EAM
It has united all our people, it has EPON and ELAS
And it has a congregationalist program: Long live, long live, long live EAM

I think the Greeks, Italians, Spanish, and Germans all have different versions of songs to the tune katyusha. Italian and Greek are about fighting the Germans and fascist. The Germans version is demoralizing and how they're finally realize that they can't win. Spanish one is mocking the Russians.

[@NestorIvanovychMakhno]

There are many more versions of Katyusha. I can remember Japanese and Yugoslavian ones off the top of my head.
