Miserable life

Miserable life,
you threw us at the street
you have been unfair to us
Not even for a moment
you didn't take away our tears
you kicked us out.
Our grave fault is
that you gave birth to us
with a bitter heart
full of sighs.
 
Miserable life,
we didn't want from you
palaces and stars.
To make us happy
a bite of bread for us,
for us orphan pigeons,
I wish you gave to us.
The north wind has beaten us
the rain has drunk blood of our hearts
because we are poor.
 

When the Time Comes

I know you will run away from me
run away from my arms,
fly away like a bird.
 
I know we will both cry,
a bitter goodbye,
a bitter kiss.
 
And when the time comes,
it'll be you, my golden heart,
going through the heaviest downpour.
 
Not a bit have you asked me, not a bit,
if I can take this one
along with all other heartaches.
 
Back here, when will you be back here,
how many nights will I have to count
until I see you again.
 

Crying Eyes

Down in Piraeus,
at Kaminia¹.
Poverty, good heart,
but also nagging.
One night I gathered
the buddies
and came secretly,
my old longing
to tell you.
 
(Refrain)
Crying eyes,
complaining,
without love and pain
nobody lives.
Crying eyes,
take me too,
take me now, to travel
the world together.
 
Down in Piraeus,
at the pier.
I wanted to die,
for the name of the saint.
But I mustered my patience
and courage
and I came secretly,
my old longing
to tell you.
