Παραπονεμένα λόγια [Paraponemena Logia] [English translation]

At the pupil desks of need'ness

and in poverty's grade school

we have learned about society

and of a pain old and cruel

[Chorus:]

Words and lines of glum and sorrow

in our songs they aren't glib

because we live through injustice

while we are still in our crib

Our mere stroll into this world here

not more than ten yards of land

just as much a shack is reaching

and a backyard's fence is spanned

(chorus)
