Vicky Moscholiou "Ο μήνας έχει εννιά" - Greek>English (please EXPLAIN it too)!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2m6fPFXTkU

Could someone explain the song as well as translate it? The literal ("automated") translation at www.stixoi.info is REALLY strange:

A life we ​​have, if not to just have fun
you will understand what will kazantisoume
you will understand what will kazantisoume

Inside the fake Dounia
play my Diplopennies
play my Diplopennies
and the month has nine
and the month has nine

As long as man lives, look, observed
into his forties, and then batirise
into his forties, and then batirise

Inside the fake Dounia
play my Diplopennies
play my Diplopennies
and the month has nine
and the month has nine

Stu the devil 'written all the ledger
and revel my youth, before catching a rubber
and revel my youth, before catching a rubber

Inside the fake Dounia
play my Diplopennies
play my Diplopennies
and the month has nine
and the month has nine

Have fun your life before you RTHOUN old age
and you say unfairly, learn old letters
and you say unfairly, learn old letters

Inside the fake Dounia
play my Diplopennies
play my Diplopennies
and the month has nine
and the month has nine

Well ... there's a proper translation in stixoi.info -> http://www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?in...ils&t_id=24199

If after examining the link above you still have any question, please add another post in the current thread.

Thanks very much, as always, Amethystos.

But please tell me how you got to the page with the proper translation:

http://www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?in...ils&t_id=24199

When I enter this:

ο μήνας έχει εννιά στίχοι

into Google, Google comes back with:

********
stixoi.info: Ο μήνας έχει εννιά
www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?info=Lyrics&act... Translate this page
Μες στον ψεύτικο ντουνιά παίξτε μου διπλοπενιά παίξτε μου διπλοπενιά και ο μήνας έχει εννιά και ο μήνας έχει εννιά. Όσο ζει ο άνθρωπος, κοίτα, παρατήρησε
**********

and when I hit "Translate this page", I get this page:

http://www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?in...s&song_id=3480

with the "automated" translation from Greek to English.

To get the page you got to, do I have to navigate the site itself, or is it some special way to enter the original query in Google?

Thanks very much for taking the time to explain this, because I don't want to bother you folks here if I can get what I need your way, once you explain it to me.

Best as always

Oh yeah - I forgot to ask you the most important question.

What about "the month has nine"?

Is it an idiom?

If so, do you know its origins?

Thanks as always, Amethystos.

If there's a translation on stixoi.info, you can see and click on a flag which corresponds to translation's language.
In our example, there is a British flag next to the "Ο μήνας έχει εννιά" title.

Yes it's an idiom.
Literal meaning is "It's the ninth day of the month", but when we use it it means "(living) a reckless life".

As for the origins no, I know nothing about.

You're welcome and I hope I helped.

Yes - I see the translation flag now ... thanks so much for pointing that out to me. I'm sure you would prefer for me to find translations there, rather than bothering you here, but to tell you the truth, I would prefer to keep bothering you ... heh heh heh just kidding.

Also, thanks for the confirmation of idiomatic statrus for "the month has nine". I will do some poking around and if I find out where it originally came from, I'll post back.

Wow, Amethystos - it's an idiom based on a REALLY OLD custom - all the way back to before Herodotus ... read the end of the top-left paragraph ("CVI") here:

Can be ... but either-way what you found was a more than interesting detail for any internet user now and in the future.
Hats off!
