Original lyrics
Ο Τραμπαρίφας
Βρε Μανώλη Τραμπαρίφα
βάλε τη διπλή ταρίφα,
φουλαριστός τράβα ντουγρού
στη λεωφόρο του Συγγρού.
Απόψε το κορίτσι θέλει θάλασσα
κι εγώ ποτέ χατίρι δεν του χάλασα.
Όλη μέρα εργασία
κούραση κι ορθοστασία,
κι από τη ζέστη βρε ζημιά
να σου `ρχεται λιγοθυμιά.
Απόψε που την έβγαλα τη μπέμπελη
γουστάρω νύχτα δροσερή και ρέμπελη.
Στα θαλασσινά μπαράκια
μπίρες και καλαμαράκια,
κιθάρες, ντέφια και βιολιά
και ξάπλες στην ακρογιαλιά.
Απόψε που υπάρχουνε τα τάλιρα
ρε μάγκες θα οργώσουμε τα Φάληρα.
Translation
Taxi Driver
Oh, Manoli, the taxi driver,
Put the double tariff,
And go full straight ahead.
To Syngrou Avenue
Tonight the girl wants the sea
and I never grace to ruin that.
All day working,
Tiring and standing,
And from the heat, the damage
shall come to you, swooning.
Tonight, when the heat has drifted away,
I enjoy the night cool and reckless.
In the seaside bars,
Beers and calamari,1
Guitars, tambourines and violins
And lie down on the seashore.
Tonight, where there is money,
- 1. calamari - cooked squid.
- 2. Manges- used to be what working class men with arrogant behavior were labelled as - a close English equivalent would be spiv.
- 3. Phalerum - it was an port of Ancient Athens - located 5 km southwest of the Acropolis. It is now occupied by the towns: Palaio Faliro, Kallithea, Moschato and Neo Faliro.

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
This translation is more literal, so you may want to also look at the source I have placed - which I used for reference of a few words.
