Koutsavaki 1936 - Anestis Delias
Koutsavaki was a term used for people who appeared as tough. Their appearance and the way they talked and walked was all about showing off that they were tough and not to mess up with. One of the major ways to show this was by always carrying a knife on them and having several ways to show it off.
The attempt to translate especially colloquial expressions and words is always challenging but I will give it a try.

Dude, for you to be able,
to properly use your knife,
you need to have the heart,
you poser! you need to have the heart to pull it out.

Go somewhere else,
to show off,
because I have also smoked pot,
And I'm completely baked, you poser!

I told you to behave yourself,
Because I will tear you apart,
I'm going to come with my piece,
You poser, and I will humiliate you.

I'm not the one to mess with,
And put away your sword,
Because I will get stoned,
You poser, and I will come and find you in your place.
