Μας βρήκ' η τρικυμία Mas vrik' i trikimia The rough sea found us
Μέσα στην Εγνατία Mesa stin Egnatia On Egnatia Odos
Μποφώρια μας τραβάνε στ' ανοιχτά Boforya mas travane st' anihta Beauforts are dragging us to the open sea
Σα λάθος να 'ν' η ρότα Sa lathos na 'n' i rota It seems our course is wrong
Ποιος παίζει με τα φώτα? Pyos pezi me ta fota? Who is playing with the lights?
Κι η πλώρη μας τραβάει για Γρεβενά Ki i plori mas travai ya Grevena And our prow is heading to Grevena
     
Σε μια θάλασσα ουίσκυ Se mya thalassa whiskey In a sea of whiskey
Ναυαγοί και ποιος μας βρίσκει Navayi ke pyos mas vriski Shipwrecks and those looking for us
Και ζαλίζεται, τρεκλίζει όλ' η γη Ke zalizete, treklizi ol' i yi And the whole earth feels dizzy and staggers
Με κεφάλι σουρωτήρι Me kefali surotiri With a strainer head
Και τ' αμάξι τρεχαντήρι Ke t' amaxi trehadiri And the car as a trehandiri
Ποιος του έβαλε πηδάλιο και πανί? Pyos tu evale pidhalyo ke pani? Who put a helm and sail on it?

Κύμα και λυσσομανάει Kima ke lisomanai  
Κι η γοργόνα να ρωτάει Ki i gorgona na rotai The waves are raging
Μα ο Αλέκος τα 'χει πιει καλή κυρά Ma o Alekos ta 'hi pyi kali kira And the mermaid asks her question
Μεσοπέλαγα φανάρι Mesopelaga fanari But Alex is drunk, fair lady
Βρε μας πήρανε χαμπάρι Vre mas pirane habari A traffic light in the middle of the sea
Ποιος πήγε το σπιτάκι μου μακριά, (μακριά) μακριά? Pyos piye to spitaki mu makrya, (makrya!) makria? They noticed us
    Who moved my home away, (away) away?
Μας βρήκ' η τρικυμία Mas vrik' i trikimia  
Μέσα στην Εγνατία Mesa stin Egnatia The rough sea found us
Μποφώρια μας τραβάνε στ' ανοιχτά Boforya mas travane st' anihta On Egnatia Odos
Σα λάθος να 'ν' η ρότα Sa lathos na 'n' i rota Beauforts are dragging us to the open sea
Ποιος παίζει με τα φώτα? Pyos pezi me ta fota? It seems our course is wrong
Κι η πλώρη μας τραβάει για Γρεβενά Ki i plori mas travai ya Grevena Who is playing with the lights?
    And our prow is heading to Grevena
Μας βρήκ' η τρικυμία Mas vrik' i trikimia  
Μέσα στην Εγνατία Mesa stin Egnatia The rough sea found us
Μποφώρια μας τραβάνε στ' ανοιχτά Boforya mas travane st' anihta On Egnatia Odos

Κι η πλώρη μας τραβάει για Γρεβενά Ki i plori mas travai ya Grevena Who is playing with the lights?
    And our prow is heading to Grevena
Δε μας 'φταιγαν τα ουισκάκια Dhe mas 'ftegan ta whiskakya  
Μπόμπα ήταν τα παγάκια Boba itan ta pagakya The whiskey is not to blame
Και το σκάφος έχει ρόδες τελικά Ke to skafos ehi rodhes telika The ice cubes were methylated
Αλκοτέστ και τροχονόμος Alkotest ke trohonomos And our boat finally has wheels
Δεν είναι για μας ο τρόμος Dhen ine ya mas o tromos Breathalyzer and traffic warden
Κατηφόρα μες στη θάλασσ' αρχινά Katifora mes sti thalass' arhina Terror is not for us
    The sea starts going downhill

Translation by Panagiotis Papagiannakos.

  • Egnatia Odos - motorway in Greece, passing through Grevena, part of the European route E90.
  • Grevena - town in Northern Greece (west Macedonia).
  • Trehandiri - a type of fishing boat used on the Greek Islands.
  • Alex (and the mermaid) - Refers to Alexander the Great. One well-known fable among Greek seamen involves a solitary mermaid who would grasp a ship's prow during a storm and ask the captain "Is King Alexander alive?". The correct answer is "He is alive and well and rules the world!", causing the mermaid to vanish and the sea to calm. Any other answer would cause the mermaid to turn into a raging Gorgon who would drag the ship to the bottom of the sea, all hands aboard.
