My Double Stringed Bouzouki Music: Markos Vamvakaris Lyrics: Markos vamvakaris Translation: Noonie Minogue My old bouzouki, double-stringed, You are the only one that can Console me now for all the pain That tortures me, unlucky man. The pain that I have in my heart You know it and you share, Remember who I was before That hussy stripped me bare. Now people turn away from me I’m a bum, that’s what they say. Do I want this kind of life? No, Charos, come take me away! My double stringed bouzouki, you, Only you remain in place To sweeten my embittered life And put a smile on my face.
