HELEN
Come to go to the palace villa
It is in side next to Marmara.
The famous House of Justinian
the palace where they lived
Nikiforos Fokas and fatal Theophano.
One heavy winter Night
put it inside her lover John Tsimiski
and the two together
they killed the wretched Emperor.

HELEN
This required the greatness of Empire
and the famous Byzantine diplomacy.
You see, the throne of the King
It is raised with a mechanism.
to be taller than others,
showing the great power
that was emperor.

Now that falls

of death.
I am ready
to fly
Inside the vortex
Eros.

Let's drink in our love,
only the death can
shadowing us, to separate us.

Eternal Solitude

Do you love me?
the volleys
the hot rods
rip my soul.
Death lurks
the siege
It is endless.
I am so
Happy.
I want to shout
to cry
sing,
I want to give you
that holier I have,
- my Chastity
I was reserving
for the men
of my life.

to perish
from ecstasy
of love,
crazy from happiness.

RAPSODOS
Late in the morning
the warrior of fire left for the gate
St. Romanus.
Where Constantine, Giustiniani,
the Greeks and Latins
they gave the ultimate battle up to death.

the camp of Turks,
causing awe and fear.

PERIDIS
Washed and clean with quiet soul
this mercenary is ready
to deal face to face the death.
He gives courage to Christians
to fight bravely,
they pray to the Virgin Mary
to save them and the city.

So many days I fight sleepless

How much I want my golden bed

Νext to me fighting bravely

Theophilus Palaeologus,
Ioannis from Dalmatia
Bailos of Venice Minnoto,
and many other nobles and not only.
