Geia sou Kavoura, paraponiari...

pono, de me lypasai (2)

Thanks, Nikos, Dave and Tiffany for your kind words.
Nikos, you translated the song much better than me! The only thing I
was wondering is the habbit we have to translate certain words with
their parallel English words. For example, κούκλα μου, is almost
always translated as my doll, though I would propose my babe, my... more »

Found the Book!
|

Geia sas, Well, after searching high and low and bothering just about everyone, Spiros and I found "Λεξικό Τις Πιάτσας" Lexiko Tis Piatsas. The only thing is that they have three different versions. We crossed out the one with slang from the last 40 years cause it's much too new, but... more »
