lyrics

(english translation follows)
Θα σε πιάσει που το φτιν, θα σου δώσει ένα ραφτίν
Μόνον έτσι εννά κοπεί τ’ αρφάλιν που σε κραΐζει
Τζαι θωρείς τα ούλλα στραβά, τζαι μιλάς τα ούλλα μασσά
Τζαι βαφτίζεις τζαι μωρά στο χάλιν που σε μαυρίζει

Έννεν ζωή τούτη που κάμνεις τζαι εννά ξηκάμεις ό,τι τζ’ αν σου ’μεινεν
Αν σου ’μεινεν καμι’ αλήθκεια μες στα παραμύθκια, θαρκούμαι πως σου ’φυεν
Τζαι βούρα λλίον τζαι πιάσ’ την γιατί εκουράστην στο κάτσε περίμενε
Τόσον τζαιρόν μακριά σου – η κακαουσκιά σου κάτι εσήμαινεν

Εσηκώθηκες αυκήν, άξιππα που το ραφτίν
Tζαι εβρέθηκες καρτζίν με ούλλα που ’σιες σαπίσει
Τζ’ εβούρησες για να χωστείς, την νοσσιάν σου να μεν δεις
Την νοσσιάν σου εννά την δεις, μόνον σου εν θα σ’ αφήσει

---------

You’ll be taken by the ear and given a beating
Only this way will the umbilical cord holding you be severed
You see everything misshapen and you speak incomprehensibly
And in the sorry state you’re in, you still baptise babies

This is not a life that you are leading, you will destroy whatever you’ve got left
If anything true survives in you, among all the fairytales, I think it’s gone
Hurry up and catch it, it’s tired of waiting the whole time
So long away from you – your bad luck has meant something

You got up at dawn, all of a sudden after a beating
And found yourself confronted with all that you had caused to rot
You ran away to hide, couldn’t see your own reflection
But you’ll see your reflection, it won’t leave you alone
