που στην μεγάλη πρόσθεσι
(την πρόσθεσί των που μισώ)
που έχει τόσους αριθμούς,
δεν είμ’ εγώ εκεί
απ’ τες πολλές μονάδες μια.
Μες στ’ ολικό ποσό
δεν αριθμήθηκα.
Κι αυτή η χαρά μ’ αρκεί.

I do not question whether I am happy or unhappy.
Yet there is one thing that I keep gladly in mind --
that in the great addition (their addition that I abhor)
that has so many numbers, I am not one
of the many units there. In the final sum
I have not been calculated. And this joy suffices me.
