I am a drifter and through the streets I wander
and because I’m so high I recognize no one
and because I’m so high I can’t control my mind
I am a drifter and through the streets I wander
Come with me my sister and we’ll smoke some tsimbouki
we’ll get high together and I’ll play my bouzouki (2x)
Come with me my sister and we’ll smoke some tsimbouki
Come on my dervisomangas get the arhiles to crackle
and with the flames of thyme bushes I’ll smoke and it’ll whistle (2x)
Come on my dervisomangas get the arhiles to crackle
When we all get really high down at the teke
then we’ll all cherish our glorious arhile (2x)
When we all get really high down at the teke
I am a drifter and through the streets I wander
and because I’m so high I can’t control my mind
and because I’m so high I recognize no one
I am a drifter and through the streets I wander
