lyrics

(English translation below)
Οι δράτζοι τ’ Ακάμα
Μουσική / Στίχοι / Κύρια φωνή: Αντώνης Αντωνίου

Στο ππερβάζιν σου ήρταν δράτζοι να σιονώσουσιν φαρμάτζιν
Να σε θάψουσιν, να σε κρούσουν, με τσιμέττα να σε λούσουν

Οι ππαράες άμαν μυρίσουν φέρνουν δράκους να ρουφήσουν
Να μουντάρουσιν να ρουφήσουν, το πιθάριν να στραντζίσουν

Μεν περιπαίζεσαι τζαι μεν πιστεύκεις, έχουσιν άνοστες ορέξεις
Ήβραν τζαι θέλουσιν, ήβραν τζ’ εκάμαν, κάτω τα σιέρκα που τον Ακάμαν

Υπουργούθκια τζαι τσαρλατάνοι, παν να φκάλουσιν φιρμάνιν
Να ταΐσουν τους αρπακόλες, οι κοντόφθαλμοι ξερόλες

Οι λοαρκασμοί τους πάντα κουβαλούν μεγάλην τσάνταν
Τζ’ αν δεν ξησιειλίσει εν θα γελάσουν, εν θεννά πνάσουν, εν θα χορτάσουν

==========================
Akamas’ dragons
Music / Lyrics / Main voice: Antonis Antoniou

To your doorstep come the dragons, come their poison to spill
Come to bury you, to burn you and in concrete to inter you

When the money starts to smell, dragons gather, come to suckle
Come to pounce and to suck the barrel dry

Don’t be fooled and don’t believe them, their desires are no good
They want what they see, they’ve taken advantage of things,
keep your hands off Akamas

Petty officials and charlatans, all just bent on dubious dealings
To feed those insatiable, those short-sighted know-it-alls

Their accounts demand large coffers
Only a bag that overflows will bring laughter to their lips,
they won’t rest, they’ll continue and their hunger will persist
