To teleftao vrdi mouappse to perno

Translation
My last nightis tonight
and those who have hurt me a lot
now that Im leaving this life
I forgive them all.
Everything is a lie
a breath, a sigh
like a flower, someones hand
will cut us, one day.
Where Im going, there are no
tears and pain
no worries, no sorrow.
They will stay here, in this life
and Ill leave alone.
Everything is a lie
a breath, a sigh
like a flower, someones hand
will cut us, one day.
Life has two doors.
I opened one and entered.
ne morning I went for a walk
and till the nightfall,
I came out through the other door.
Everything is a lie
a breath, a sigh
like a flower, someones hand
will cut us, one day.
