Ψυχή μου βάστα [Psihi mou vasta] [English translation]

My soul, hold on, the sand castles disintegrate,

they fall on this caste

life doesn't exist, the stars were fake

this weight- full of shame or needles, they try to shoo it away

and you do them a favor, you fill the veins empty them

and you live in the lethargy that they want

where their watch tells them how much they’ll get minute by minute

second by second

my friend, they steal from your garden- even one flower

from your prayer they steal even one wish

from your eyes they steal even one image

and like a curse they owe you a beautiful winter

a never ending oblivion and a fake earth

while you ask yourself if you’ll meet another sunrise

So your fears always grow

monsters of the day haunt your sleep

they terrorize your serenity, they start petty things, they scare you

don’t have a care, push aside whatever taunts you!

You’ve become tired of being chased by artfully crafted shadows

your mind has become heavy by the gap

the f^ckers don’t exist if you don’t want it

My soul, hold on, we’ll get out of here!

All of my generation, burnt and full of troubles

Confused and lost, they try to find space in this world

and long to find a bit of blue sky in the grey

You’ve done it, disintegrate all the newcomings

You’ve nurtured pure minds with poison,

It’s immersed in delirium and inaction

all of the new society with great ease

my nobility knows that this is what’s in your interest

And so this is why you won’t find me prone to

each new mixing of each new recipe

You find me across

each death you sow to fill the piggy bank with money

with words clear or dirty, it doesn’t matter

the essence is for death to find a resistance

and that you not be dead in this life

which asks only for love and a pure soul

corrupt society, you found an exit from there once

and your executioners acquitted with a decision of prosecution

the murderers and the witnesses are free in prison

because they too had nothing but to oil up

and since they’ve build you such a world, suck it up and say…

My soul, hold on, we’ll get out of here!
