Nights Without Hope (Rebetiko Song)
Late nights without hope
I walk the streets alone.
Before your shuttered window
I spend sad hours
How I long to meet you
to find old joys again,
again to give you kisses
so black despair will leave.
But who knows where you wander
there in some foreign land.
I wonder if you think of me
or suffer for someone else.
by Yannis Paaionnou (1913 - 1972)
translated by Gail Holst-Warhaft
