The chanoumakia (1)

You had the tekes 1 on the shore
And I'd come every day to forget my pain
Two beautiful chanoumakia, weed addicts, the poor ones
I crashed into them one morning while they were sitting in the sand
 
Come close dervish, sit down next to us
And listen to the songs of love that come out our hearts
Grab your baglamas so you can have a bit of fun
Light up your blunt, to smoke with us
 
Fill up the hookah, to drink, to get high
And then, my chanoumakia, let me grab my baglamas
To fix up a hookah for you with world class weed
At Barba Giannis' tekes at Pasalimani
 

• 1. lit. Khanqah, used for, a place to smoke shisha

Chariklaki

Last night Chariklaki 1
You were holding the instrument again
And were having fun with a bum
Down at Pasalimani 2
 
Kisses, coyness
Ah Chariklaki, how did you lead me on like this?
Cheers to you, you tricked me
 
When you got into the beer
Ah mommy, how sweet
With a phonograph and jokes
Heartaches with the hotshots
 
I am jealous and crying
Ah Chariklaki, how did you lead me on like this?
Cheers to you, you tricked me
 
In the morning in Glyfada 3
Looking beautiful, going for a drive
You swim like a duck, goose
And you turn for Athens
 
I am jealous and crying
Ah Chariklaki, how did you lead me on like this?
Cheers to you, you tricked me
