lyrics

Kαπνουλούδες: Βρε καπνουλού μου έμορφη. / Σ’ αρέσει το ντουμάνι. / Και μένανε με παρατάς. / Ρέστονε και χαρμάνι. / Οταν σχολάσεις γίνεσαι. / Μια κούκλα πρώτη φίνα. / Και την πουλεύεις πονηρά
/ Στη Βούλα στη Ραφήνα. / Τους μάγκες πάντα προτιμάς / Και όλους τους παραλήδες / Μα ζούλα πάντα κυνηγάς / Τους έμορφους νταήδες. / Και στο φινάλε πας γλεντάς. / Με μάγκες στους ντεκέδες. /
Γιατί σ’ αρέσει ο μπαγλαμάς. / Μπουζούκια και αργιλέδες. /

Kapnouloudes: Hey, my pretty hash-smoking girl / You like dope so much / And you’ve turned your back on me / Left me alone, without my smoke / When you leave school then you become / A first class living doll / And cunningly you slip away / To Voula and to Raphina / You always prefer to be with manges / And all the guys with money / But on the sly you always chase / The handsomest hard nuts / And at the end you go for a good time / With manges at the hash den / Because you love the baglamas / Bouzoukis and the water pipe /

about

Orkestar Kriminal Montreal, Québec

Along with their Yiddish gangster repertoire, Orkestar Kriminal has absorbed the Rebetika Mortika hash den anthems of the 1930s Greek underground. They can also be found performing in Khmer, Spanish, Danish, Romani, Ladino, Russian, Vietnamese, Hebrew or whatever other tongue might attract them. So long as the tune is catchy and a little shady, they'll give it their best shot! ... more
