Ένας τούρκος στο Παρίσι [Énas toúrkos sto Parísi] [English translation]

You write to me saying you won't be coming for vacation

You say you haven't passed some exams

You send pictures from the Louvre

And some with your cat, the Turk

Turk jumping up the stairs

And then playing with you

A tale is swinging near your calf

This Turk will turn me into a Turk 1

A tale swining near your calf

This Turk will turn me into a Turk

I am jealous of your small cat

It sleeps on your legs while you're studying

I don't know if you also sleep together

Or trade him for a man in bed

I don't know if you also sleep together

Or trade him for a man in bed

You write to me that you've missed me a lot

You send me a paper kiss

You count down until you graduate

You thought my letter was funny

And the Turk relaxed on the carpet

Drinks and eats what you eat

This Turk will turn me into a Turk

Drinks and eats what you eat

This Turk will turn me into a Turk

I am jealous of your small cat

It sleeps on your legs while you're studying

I don't know if you also sleep together

Or trade him for a man in bed

I don't know if you also sleep together

Or trade him for a man in bed

Forgive me for my bad behavior

But I have a great need to feel you

Away from you, I meow by myself

But c'est la vie 2, as the French say

Away from you, I meow by myself

But c'est la vie, as the French say

I am jealous of your small cat

It sleeps on your legs while you're studying

I don't know if you also sleep together

Or trade him for a man in bed

I don't know if you also sleep together

Or trade him for a man in bed

1. Greek people consider Turks angry and agressive, so he means the cat is driving him crazy and will make him lose his temper 2. that's life
