👉🏻 You heard parts of the song 'Σμύρνη εσύ αγαπημένη' (You beloved Smyrna), which refers to the destruction of the city:
Smyrna, you dream-like, my mother and root of anise, I still search in an uneven world for my lost life.
Smyrna, you uprooted, you still haven't tired of fearing, but within me, you never withered, rise up, blossomed Smyrna, beloved Smyrna.
