Ο κυρ Θάνος [O kyr Thanos] [English translation]

Mr Thanos died with a grievance

at two o'clock at Chatzithomas' tavern

lately he was struggling with poverty, poor him

and he had also pawned his baglamas

His baglamas, his brother,

which would cheer him up

he pawned it

and Mr Thanos faded

Had someone paid some small debts,

he would have his instrument, he would be alive,

but nobody asked why he was crying,

who cares about the other's trouble?

His baglamas, his brother,

which would cheer him up

he pawned it

and Mr Thanos faded
