Καθρέφτης [Kathreftis] [English translation]

One day the lady tarantula came to the village

And everyone runned to see her.

One threw her some bread

And others threw her stones

To save themseld from the ugliness.

And a child gave her a red rose,

A child

A child asked her to sing a song,

A child

And she told him never to say to them

How ugly they look,

The ones who loath you

But still are standing and watching you.

And she told him never to look

The other person in the eyes

Because you become a mirror

And everyone tear you into pieces.

One day came to the village

A wounded angel.

They brought them in a cage

And the crowd was angrily buying tickets,

To watch his beauty.

And a child, beautiful like a tear, an angel,

A child

A child asked him to sing a song

A child

And he told him that if he wants to be save from his beauty

To take an ax and a sword

And to cut his wings.

And he told him never to look

The other person in the eyes

Because you become a mirror

And everyone tear you into pieces.
