Translation
English

Translated by Trismegistus
Target language: English

Because it was a petty bourgeois that brought you up, a petty bourgeois that sent you to school, a petty bourgeois that befriended you and a petty bourgeois that will lament when you conk out.
Remarks about the translation
"Μικροαστός" is a derogatory term refering to members of the lower middle ("urban") class. In English the french term is used. The verb "ψοφάω/ψοφώ" normally refers to the death of an animal, thus it's derogatory when refering to people.
