Λάθος δρόμο πήραμε, καρδιά μου πικραμένη,
It was a wrong way, the one that we followed, my bittered heart
και τίποτα δε βγαίνει, αν φταίω ή αν φταις.
and there's no solution, in fighting which one has faulted, you or me
Λάθος δρόμο πήραμε, λάθος μονοπάτι,
It was a wrong way, the one that we followed, the wrong path
κι αν αξίζει κάτι, είναι για τ’ όνειρο που χάθηκε να κλαις.
and if, there is something worthfull, is to cry for the lost dream
Λάθος δρόμο πήραμε, καρδιά, ρίξαμε ανάποδη ζαριά.
It was a wrong way, the one that we followed my heart, it was an unlucky roll of the dice
Πού να ακουμπήσω για να βρω παρηγοριά;
where can I lean on, to find consolation?
Λάθος δρόμο πήραμε καρδιά.
It was a wrong way, the one that we followed my heart
Λάθος δρόμο πήραμε, το βήμα σου για κόψε,
It was a wrong way, the one that we followed, slow down your marching
κανείς δεν ήρθε απόψε να δει πού τριγυρνάς.
Tonight, nobody's show up, to see where you're hunging around
Λάθος δρόμο πήραμε, σε πρόδωσαν οι φίλοι,
It was a wrong way, the one that we followed, you're betrayed by your friends
σφίχτηκαν τα χείλη, κι αυτή π’ αγάπησες δε ρώτησε αν πονάς.
(all the) lips are closed, and the one who you loved, didn't ask if you are in pain.

"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
You will never find that life for which you are looking.
When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
but life they retained in their own keeping"
