Lyrics from here: http://www.stixoi.info/stixoi.php?info=Lyr...ls&song_id=1784 Τίποτα δεν πάει χαμένο / Nothing lost or wasted , never give up for me never give up is the closest translation. something is just not right when i see translation word by word when comes to translate songs or poems.. for instance (((τώρα στη μαύρη αρρώστια_____||_____ Now this black sickness,)) for me with your permission is not right to translate like that ....... if you must translate this song ( or any song or poem ) you must use more friendly words for the language you translate to for instance this song of Dionisis Savopoylos says at one point: Κι'οτι ζησαμε μες τη νυχτα αυτη σαν σπουργιτι το τζαμι μας ραγιζει if someone translate this by just tranlating each and every word for sure you will have terrible translation results .
