Maria Farantouri singing Miki Theodorakis' "Mauthausen" (a concentration camp in Austria):
The lyrics for the song were written by Iacovos Kampanellis who was imprisoned at Mauthausen and fell in love with a girl which he could only see through the razor wire between the men's and women's camps. After the camp was liberated, he looked for her for 15 years. He finally located her but she was already married. Here are the lyrics in English for that song:
How beautiful is my love
With her everyday dress
And with the comb in her hair.
No one knew that she's so beautiful
No one knew that she's so beautiful
No one knew that she's so beautiful.
You girls of Auschwitz,
You Dachau girls,
Have you seen my love, perchance?
Have you seen my love, perchance?
Have you seen my love, perchance?
We saw her on a long journey.
She no longer wore her dress
Nor her comb in her hair.
How beautiful is my love,
Pampered by her loving mother,
And her brother's kisses.
No one knew that she's so beautiful
No one knew that she's so beautiful
No one knew that she's so beautiful.
You girls of Mauthausen,
You girls of Belsen,
Have you seen my love, perchance?
Have you seen my love, perchance?
Have you seen my love, perchance?
We saw her standing in the frozen square
With a number on her white arm,
A yellow star over her heart.
How beautiful is my love,
Pampered by her loving mother,
And her brother's kisses.
No one knew that she's so beautiful
No one knew that she's so beautiful
No one knew that she's so beautiful.
No I am not crying, you are crying....
I do have the actual vinyl album of "Mauthausen"
