Translation of the song Σ' αυτή τη γειτονιά artist Mikis Theodorakis

Σ' αυτή τη γειτονιά

In this neighbourhood,

και βράδυ και πρωί

during night and during day,

περάσαμε και χάσαμε

we lived and lost

ολόκληρη ζωή

an entire life.

Σ' αυτή τη γειτονιά

In this neighbourhood,

μας πήραν οι καημοί

we were taken by sorrow,

μας πήραν και μας πρόδωσαν

we were taken and betrayed

για μια μπουκιά ψωμί

for a piece of bread.

Σ' αυτή τη γειτονιά

In this neighbourhood,

μες στο μικρό στενό

within the small alley,

χαθήκαμε και ζήσαμε

we were lost and we lived

μακριά κι απ' το Θεό

apart even from God.
