Κελί μου κατασκότεινο [Keli mou kataskotino] [English translation]

A cloudy dusk,

A dark night,

Found me in my cell again,

Crying in the darkness

Yedi Kule is sighing1

The bars are screeching

And the pain in my heart,

Could bend steel

My dark cell,

My eternal home,

You are watered with tears,

By a lifelong prisoner

Yedi Kule is sighing

The bars are screeching

And the pain in my heart,

Could bend steel

You can erase from this life,

This criminal

And you can blame it on the one responsible,

For this sin

1. Yedi Kule is a fortress in Thessaloniki known today as the Eptapirgio but it was called Yedi Kule during the Ottoman Empire in Greece
