Os echoune polla lefta
Na xera ti na knanoun
Arage san pethanone, vr aman aman
Mazi tous tha ta paroun (repeat last two lines)

Ego psili stin tsepi mou
potes dhen apotazo
Ki ola ta dertia mou pernoun, vr aman aman
Mono san mastouriazo (repeat last two lines)

sp: Yia sou Marko aspile

Afou ston alone dounia
lefta dhe tha pernane
Ta choun ke ta thimiazoune, vr aman aman
Dhe xeroun na ta fane
Ta choun ke ta thimiazoune, vr aman aman
Dhe ta choun na ta fane

Those who have a lot of money
I wish I knew whaqt they do with it
Do they think that when they die, vr aman aman
It can be taken with them (repeat last two lines)

In my pocket I never have
two coins to rub together
And all my troubles go away, vr aman aman
Only when I’m really stoned (repeat last two lines)

Since there in that other world
All money will be useless
Why do they worship it so, vr aman aman
And not know how to spend it
Why do they worship it so
And not have it just to blow?
