Nichtose Choris Feggari

Νύχτωσε χωρίς φεγγάρι
το σκοτάδι είναι βαθύ
κι όμως ένα παληκάρι
δεν μπορεί να κοιμηθεί

Άραγε τι περιμένει
απ' το βράδυ ως το πρωί
στο στενό το παραθύρι
που φωτίζει με κερί

Πόρτα ανοίγει πόρτα κλείνει
με βαρύ αναστεναγμό
ας μπορούσα να μαντέψω
της καρδιάς σου το καημό

Can anyone translate this great Apostolos Kaldaras rembetiko song for me parakalo?

Night descended without moon
The darkness is deep
And yet a young man
Cannot fall sleep

What could he be waiting for
From dusk until dawn
By the narrow window
Which is lit by a candle

Opens and closes the door
With a heavy sigh
I wish I could guess
The sorrow in his heart

Thanks a lot Panselinos,
You are so fast!

You're welcome.

I love this song.

For better undrstanding, the young man was a prisoner, sitting by his small window when Kaldaras saw him one night.
