Μαμά γερνάω [Mama gernao] [English translation]

The clothes that I didn't learn to wash

I put them in a bag and I bring them to you.

You ask about my career

My night and my day

And I succeed in talking to you.

And I'm thinking about it when I drink coca-cola

To be always the same, everything changes.

And I open your fridge,

Your coming and your leaving

I mostly asked for them in my life.

Mum? I'm hungry

Mum? I'm afraid

Mum? I'm getting old, mum.

And I'm scared as hell to be what you worry about:

Cute, young and unlucky.

The years you got old for me

You should know I keep them for you.

And I graduated with perfect grades

But I don't have good news,

Everything in this world is written.

Thirty summers and winters

I bring you wild anemones.

And look!,it's a mystery:

The judgement of the world

Tells me we look alike like two raindrops.

Mum? I'm hungry

Mum? I'm afraid

Mum? I'm getting old, mum.

And I'm scared as hell to be what you worry about:

Cute, young and unlucky.
