Καλημέρα [Kaliméra] [English translation]

As soon as I wake up in the morning

I see everything black

I want a cup of coffee

and four cigarettes

What is the point of all this?

What am I running for to catch up with?

Half of my life has passed

I didn't even realise it.

An ashtray and cigarette butts,

the leftovers of the drink,

all together in the trash bin

and the lid on top.

But I reach the front door

I look in the mirror

and instead of punching him

I smile at the liar.
