My Double Stringed Bouzouki
Music: Markos Vamvakaris
Lyrics: Markos vamvakaris
Translation: Noonie Minogue

My old bouzouki, double-stringed,
You are the only one that can
Console me now for all the pain
That tortures me, unlucky man.

The pain that I have in my heart
You know it and you share,
Remember who I was before
That hussy stripped me bare.

Now people turn away from me
I’m a bum, that’s what they say.
Do I want this kind of life?
No, Charos, come take me away!

My double stringed bouzouki, you,
Only you remain in place
To sweeten my embittered life
And put a smile on my face.
