Here is the translation as it appears in www.alexiou.gr/
MY BELOVED HAS FORGOTT'N ME
I heard a voice tonight
bursting out crying
about its bitter pain,
getting it off its chest,
sighing.
Tonight I heard a bird,
the sweetest voice I've ever heard,
singing in pain,
for it's been left alone,
and saying:
"My beloved has forgott'n me
and my tears are petrified.
I have run out of prayers
and I'm flying with melted wings.
I'm left with nothing but my song
that I will sing till love is gone."
Tonight my mind is full of clouds
from all the liquor and cigars;
and deep inside my chest a sigh
has made the night shed its blood;
I'm crying.
I dressed this my little heart of mine
with trousseaus I took out of my trunk;
and out of my wooden drawer
I took the deepest sigh,
saying:
"My beloved has forgott'n me
and my tears are petrified.
I have run out of prayers
and I'm flying with melted wings.
I'm left with nothing but my song
that I will sing till love is gone."
