Lyrics and translation Grigoris Bithikotsis - O Kir Thanos

O Kir Thanos

Ο κυρ Θάνος πέθανε παραπονεμένος
ώρα δυο στο καπηλειό του Χατζηθωμά.
Τελευταία πέρναγε φτώχειες ο καημένος
κι είχε βάλει ενέχυρο και τον μπαγλαμά.

Τον μπαγλαμά, τ′ αδέρφι του
που τού 'φτιαχνε το κέφι του
ενέχυρο τον έδωσε
και ο κυρ Θάνος έσβησε.

Κάποιος αν του πλήρωνε κάτι λίγα χρέη
θα ′χε τ' οργανάκι του, θα 'ταν στη ζωή.
Μα κανείς δεν ρώτησε, τάχα γιατί κλαίει.
Τον καημό του αλλουνού ποιος τον εννοεί;

Τον μπαγλαμά, τ′ αδέρφι του
που τού ′φτιαχνε το κέφι του
ενέχυρο τον έδωσε
και ο κυρ Θάνος έσβησε.

О Кир Танос

Kir Thanos died in agony
at two o'clock in the coffeehouse of Hatzithoma.
He had been living in poverty lately
and had pawned even his bouzouki.

The bouzouki, his brother,
which cheered him up,
he had pawned it
and Kir Thanos died.

If someone had paid his few debts,
he would have kept his little instrument, he would have lived.
But nobody asked why he was crying.
Who cares about the sorrows of others?

The bouzouki, his brother,
which cheered him up,
he had pawned it
and Kir Thanos died.
