Φάλτσος χρησμός [Faltsos hrismos] [English translation]

Everything was going wrong in my life

and just when I was about to lose my strength

the skies opened and inbetween the lights

Pythia missing her steps came close to me.

Firstly she asked for a cigarette

and then she said: "My poor stupid man,

why do you swim in deep water?

Life is only about eating, drinking and having sex*."

But before I ask her some questions

so I'll be able to solve the puzzle behind her prophecy

the guardians of law surrounded us

they put bracelets** at her hands

drum drum she says, drum drum***.

And as they guide her by force to the prison

they turn to me and explain,

inside a hollow tooth she had hidden

a thimble filled with weed.

In the newspaper the next day

I saw at her eyes she had no sleep

"SUCCESS" with capital letters

I guess you all know about these kind of things.

After a long time they forced her to admit that

insteed of laurel she was smoking hashish,

and even if the lady was running away with that for centures

at the end police always wins.
