Grigoris Bithikotsis - Βρέχει Στη Φτωχογειτονιά (Vrehi sti ftohogitonia) (English translation)

English

Translation

It's raining in the poorer quarters

My gloomy, narrow little streets

and oh, these lowly houses!

It’s raining here in the poorer quarters,

just as it rains in my heart.

Oh deceitful and unjust world!

Having kindled my grief,

you are too small to have any room

for all my sighing.

Such uncounted calamities —

Can the world contain any more?

My days trickle oppressively away,

Just like these drops of rain.
