Για το καλό μου [Gia to kalo mou] [English translation]

I saw a world crumbling down in front of me

I saw my neighborhood become a building site

for my own sake

I saw the trees I used to climb cut down

My dreams loaded in a truck

for my own sake

I saw the teacher hit me with eagerness

I saw my hands swollen from the whacking

I saw myself slowly lose my temper

(I saw them) hit me with kindness and affection

For my own sake, for my own sake

Until my mind finally couldn't stand it

It went crazy for my own sake

And I'm in chamber number 9 for my own sake

in isolation to find myself

I saw them cut my bit for my bite

(I saw them) make clothes from my old clothes

for my own sake

I saw my mother cry desperately

I saw my old man leave the country

for my own sake

I saw my friends pull themselves to pieces for me

I saw them want me to cut myself off you

I saw them pull me to the station early in the morning

To avoid the cell, I had to recite the poem

For my own sake, for my own sake

Until my mind finally couldn't stand it

It went crazy for my own sake

And I'm in chamber number 9 for my own sake

in isolation to find myself

For my own sake, for my own sake

My body is numb, and so is my mind

Injections, pills, electroshock for my own sake

Today, they found my seatmate dead

While I'm struggling to find myself

And I have the pocket knife hidden for my own sake
