THE CANADIAN CITIZENS, FROM FLORINA

Patsy Sider-Aspassia Bossota

The Canadian citizens, from Florina, who live in the free world of Canada
The times when they visit my birthplace, the city of Florina-Lerin
To my relatives and my acquaintances, for me personally, they say the following.
"Shame on her, she hates the Greeks, she speaks the Macedonian language
And she goes to Macedonian Church..."

My heritage is Macedonian
I do not see any shame to that
The Macedonian language is one of the spoken languages of the Lord
And the Macedonian Church is the House of the Lord.

I love the Canadian citizens from Florina, and the Greek people.
I love the whole world. I have space, only, for love in my heart.
I feel sorry for the Canadian citizens from Florina, who live in Canada
And whose heritage is a Macedonian Heritage.
These people they do not know themselves
And they hate their own, the Macedonian Heritage.
The Macedonian people with their faith to the Lord
Exhibit to the world the Macedonian Civilization.
They are proud with the Macedonian Heritage,
History, and the Macedonian Church.
They live with honesty and they do not pay attention to false accusations.

Discrimination is an awful disease
It is the worm that eats the soul.
Canadian citizens from Florina, wake up from the dark lethargy
Opposite of you is located the true light.
