Πέρασα Χθες [Perasa Hthes] [English translation]

I came by your neighborhood yesterday

And stood there for a moment,

Your mother was preparing your dowry

And everything looked like a celebration

I stepped into the coffeehouse not to give myself away

But there, they were buying the groom drinks

Two of the crowd recognized me

And sneakily poured me a drink.

Inside me, the blues were crying

And you were putting on rouge,

I have neither a body nor a soul

Like a wire chord

I will break because of your longing.

Inside me, the blues were crying

And you were putting on rouge

What witch has taken your mind,

What reasons led you there,

Did you want to or did

Some childhood enemies force it on you

Kostis1 told me ''leave before, before

Something bad happens tonight,

But this wound, this wound, how does it close

Tell me friend so I can save myself.

Inside me, the blues were crying

And you were putting on rouge,

I have neither a body nor a soul

Like a wire chord

I will break because of your longing.

Inside me, the blues were crying

And you were putting on rouge.
