Paroles et traduction Γρηγόρης Μπιθικώτσης - Ο Κυρ Θάνος

Ο Κυρ Θάνος

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.

Uncle Thanos

Uncle Thanos died full of sorrow
At two o'clock in Hatzithomas' tavern.
Lately, the poor man suffered great poverty
And he had pawned even his bouzouki.
His bouzouki, his most beloved friend
That brought him joy.
He gave it as a pledge
And Uncle Thanos perished.
If someone had paid his few debts
He would have had his instrument, he would have been alive.
But nobody asked him, why don't you cry.
Who cares about the misery of others?
His bouzouki, his most beloved friend
That brought him joy.
He gave it as a pledge
And Uncle Thanos perished.
