Original lyrics
Όπα Όπα Τα Μπουζούκια
Εγνατίας τετρακόσια έξι
τράβα ταξιτζή μου πριν να φέξει
τράβα μη μας δει κι η γειτονιά,
σούρα με την κούκλα αγκαλιά
(Επωδός:)
Ώπα, ώπα τα μπουζούκια
ώπα και ο μπαγλαμάς
της ζωής μας τα χαστούκια
με το γλέντι τα ξεχνάς.
Ξύπνησε η Σαλονίκη πάλι
άρχισε σκληρή η βιοπάλη
όμως το κορίτσι μου και `γω,
άρχοντες θα νιώθουμε κι οι δυο.
(Επωδός:)
Ώπα, ώπα τα μπουζούκια
ώπα και ο μπαγλαμάς
της ζωής μας τα χαστούκια
με το γλέντι τα ξεχνάς.
Εγνατίας τετρακόσια έξι
πάμε να πλαγιάσουμε πριν φέξει
όνειρο να δούμε μαγικό,
όμορφο τον κόσμο τον κακό.
(Επωδός:)
Ώπα, ώπα τα μπουζούκια
ώπα και ο μπαγλαμάς
της ζωής μας τα χαστούκια
με το γλέντι τα ξεχνάς.

Translation
Opa Opa ta Bouzoukia
Egnatias tetrakosia eksi
Driver hit the gas of your old taxi
Hurry up, the neighbors should not see
That I'm wasted, drunk as I can be
(REF)(2x)
Opa Opa ta bouzoukia
Opa kie o Baglamas
Ti zo-i mas ta Khastukia
Me to gledi ta Ksekhnas
You woke up again, Thessaloniki
Bills are to be paid and life is tricky
Life feels pretty rough sometimes but we
Feel like Queen and King of Thessaly
(REF)(2x)
Egnatias tetrakosia eksi
'nother day of work that nearly wrecked me
now we watch the sunset, have a glass
streetlights come alive, this too will pass
(REF)(2x)

His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all
who play stringed instruments and pipes. (Genesis 4:21)

Author's comments:
TL i made this afternoon. this is really an adaptation, not a word-for-word, I tried to render the sense and feeling. To keep the meter intact. Not sung live yet. some lines I had double, so the final version might differ a bit.
Left the REF untranslated, sounds better that way.
