Lines explained
“Ο Μουσολίνι έλεγε ΟΧΙ,”
O Moussolini elege OXI,
Mussolini said NO,
This line refers to 'Ohi Day' (No Day), a national holiday in Greece commemorating the rejection of Mussolini's ultimatum on October 28, 1940, which led to Greece's entry into WWII. It's used here humorously to emphasize the singers' strong refusal.
“Σηκώνει μύτη και μαλλί,”
Sikonei myti kai malli,
She raises her nose and hair,
To 'raise one's nose and hair' is an idiom suggesting someone is acting conceited, proud, or showing off, often in a flirtatious way.
“να μη μας κλέβεις τα παιδιά!”
na mi mas klevis ta paidia!
so you don't steal our children!
Here, 'children' (paidia) is used colloquially to refer to their young men or boyfriends, implying they are precious and not to be taken.
