Το '69 με κάποιο φίλο [To exinta enia me kapio filo] [English translation]

In ’69 as I wandered around here and there

I would hit the road early in the morning

I saw a friend wasted from raki (brandy)

‘I’m giving up’ he told me ‘and ‘I’m starting from the beginning.’

On a bench in the corner of the museum

he told me "i'm going crazy, I can’t take it anymore

work and home, home and work

I will leave everything and go away one night.

My boss tells me off, my mom groans

I never get a ‘good morning’ in the neighborhood

they’re always telling me that I’m a hooligan

that’s why I tell you, Paul, I’m leaving for the better."

One day I returned home in the morning,

I found a letter thrown on the porch

one second can bring everything a lifetime didn’t

it says they put Lefteri in jail

he seduced, they said, a 16 year old girl

he seduced, they said…
