Χαλκίδα [Halkida] [English translation]

I get lost without any hope

Day and night in Chalkida

In your almost

And in the currents of Euripus1

My soul will set sail

Into the dark waters

The tide will take me away

And you won't see me again

I'm walking on the beach

Becoming prey for the people

Shipwrecked with no plank

Nor tonight did I see you

I know I don't have any hope

Here in Chalkida

There are few of us insane left

Even Skarimpas2 is gone

1. Euripus strait, known for its tidal currents2. Giannis Skarimpas, Greek writer and poet
