| Here’s a direct retranslation of Greek#3 from Greek back to English. |
| Some people thought it’d be fun to read. |
| The English of course is not correct, |
| but I translated it literally. |
| In Greek too, some things sound weird. |
| Like, the expression with the 'chicken and juice'. |
| Never heard it before! |
| I just have two songs and a third one when it comes out* |
| I don’t know where I found the body** since then it was there |
| Now I’m wandering around music’s grave |
| For the two songs and the third one when it comes out |
| A rich guy told me «bring a chicken and juice"(!) |
| A poor guy told me that he can’t tell |
| And now I’m waiting like a chicken for God on earth |
| I just have two songs and a third one when it comes out |
| I don’t know where I found the body since it was there then |
| Now I’m wandering around music’s grave |
| For the two songs and the third one when it comes out |
| I went to the White House and asked the rocket (!) |
| If he ever had a complex or something of the sort |
| but he started babbling like he as on TV |
| «I don’t have just two songs |
| What do you want from me?» |
| I bought some new, tight bluejeans |
| and a 'baglama'*** |
| And I told the ladies to be nice to me |
| So that I won’t feel guilty for not going far |
| For the two songs and the third one when it comes out |
