Ta paliomisoforia translation please:)

Ένα βράδυ στη Καστέλα
σε μια όμορφη κοπέλα
που 'παιρνε τ' απεριτίφ της
ρίχτηκ' ένας τσίφτης
απ' την Κοκκινιά

Δεν εγνώριζε όμως ότι
τα 'χε μ' ένα Πειραιώτη
Πειραιώτη ντερμπετέρη
σίδερο στο χέρι
άσσο στη μπουνιά

Αχ βρε παλιομισοφόρια
τι τραβάν για σας τ' αγόρια

Αλλά και ο Κοκκινιώτης
ήταν παλικάρι πρώτης
και στο τέλος και οι δύο
στο νοσοκομείο
πήγαν σηκωτοί

Και οι δυο σε αφασία
μα εκείνη σημασία
που τους έφαγε η μαρμάγκα
και με άλλο μάγκα έκανε χαρτί...

Hi
these types of songs like rembetika and certain hasapika use very distinct language that cannot be translated even in ordinary Greek. These words and their menanings don't exist in any language. These songs sound awful if translated. Ayway, I did a free translation just for you to have an idea, although it really looks bad in English
Hugs

A night at Kastella
in a beautiful girl
that she was taking her drink
a witted(free translation-this word is untransletable) man made a pass
who was from Kokkinia

He didn't know though
that she was involved with a man from Pireus
A Pireus strong man ( free translation again )
iron in the hand
ace with the fist

Ah dirtycotas
what men suffer for you

But the amn from Konninia
was a first grade brave one
and at the end both
ended up
at the hospital

Both in aphasia
but she gave no notice
that they were eaten by (marmaga- its a dangerous spider poison- meaning pain here)
and with another raskal (street wise) started an affair(free translation)

Thank you verry much...a translation in turkish perhaps is more easy...example ντερμπετέρη-derbeder in tr...efharisto poli...

you're very welcome!

Amethystos and/or Duffy

Can you improve on the translation provided by mnisareti? Or is his translation "as good as it's going to get", given the difficulty of translating the song?
