Here's a direct retranslation of Greek#3 from Greek back to English. Some people thought it'd be fun to read. The English of course is not correct, but I translated it literally. In Greek too, some things sound weird. Like, the expression with the 'chicken and juice'. Never heard it before!
26
I just have two songs and a third one when it comes out*
27
I don't know where I found the body** since then it was there
28
Now I'm wandering around music's grave
29
For the two songs and the third one when it comes out
30
A rich guy told me "bring a chicken and juice" (!)
31
A poor guy told me that he can't tell
32
And now I'm waiting like a chicken for God on earth
33
I just have two songs and a third one when it comes out
34
I don't know where I found the body since it was there then
35
Now I'm wandering around music's grave
36
For the two songs and the third one when it comes out
37
I went to the White House and asked the rocket (!)
38
If he ever had a complex or something of the sort
39
but he started babbling like he as on TV
40
"I don't have just two songs
41
What do you want from me?"
42
I bought some new, tight bluejeans
43
and a 'baglama'***
44
And I told the ladies to be nice to me
45
So that I won't feel guilty for not going far
46
For the two songs and the third one when it comes out
47
* literally 'as soon as' but it would be too long
48
** literally 'dead body', cadaver
49
*** a very tiny traditional greek guitar-like instrument, a tiny 'bouzouki'
