Τα Λαδάδικα [Ta Ladadika] [English translation]

"THEY" ARE "DISCUSSING" (TALKING ABOUT) YOU, WITHOUT REASON AND NOT UNJUSTLY

THE WAY YOU "SLEEP" IN NARROW, OLD GREASY SITES

YOU BECAME "RENOWNED" AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE NOT IMPRISONED

YOU LIVE IN DARKNESS "CLEANLY", BUT YOU DO NOT "VOW"

YOU "SHINE" IN "RED SATIN" THAT ENFOLD YOU

"WHITE" AND "STRONG" (TOBACCO) SMOKES ARE ENGULFING YOU

ON FLAGSTONES YOU "STAY UP" (TILL ALL HOURS), COBBLED STREETS

ON "PARADISE PAID", ITS GARDEN GATE

"I OFFER THIS MUCH, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT"

AT GREASY SITES, THEY "SELL" WHAT (IT IS) YOU WANT

EVERY "CHAMBER", A "CELL"

WITH (A) HEAVY, METTLESOME BREATH

INNUMERABLE, LOST LONELINESSES, WITH (IN) YOU WERE MINGLING

SHIPS WERE LEAVING BUT, BEFORE THEY LEAVE, (THEY) WERE HOOTING YOU

HOW MANY KIDS CAME TO "FIND" THEIR "MANHOOD"

AND "REPOSED" ON YOU TIMIDLY, THEIR "POCKET MONEY"

"I OFFER THIS MUCH, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT"

AT GREASY SITES, THEY "SELL" WHAT (IT IS) YOU WANT

EVERY "CHAMBER", A "CELL"

WITH (A) HEAVY, METTLESOME BREATH
