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
* literally 'as soon as' but it would be too long
** literally 'dead body', cadaver
*** a very tiny traditional greek guitar-like instrument, a tiny 'bouzouki'
