Artemis of the Eucalypts




From skies of blue you call me
Run far from the light
From skies of blue you call me
Kiss the night
Kiss the night

I am awake in moonlight
Dreams question the day
I am awake in soul light
Run away
Run away

Follow me, follow me
I will lead you into your life
Under the trees
I am Artemis of the eucalypts
Follow me

And in her heart, the hunter
She sharpens the knife
And know my bow is drawn to
Wild life, my wild life

Deep in her death, I’m frightened
Freedom can be cruel
And in her life, enlightened
Sister brave and beautiful

Follow me, follow me
I will lead you into your life
Under the trees
I am Artemis of the eucalypts
Follow me

KRETA: the promised land



Now here I stand
Oh, in the morning sunshine
Dreaming only of the promised land
Somewhere, they say, beyond the great horizon
Lies a beautiful island

Everyone says he longs at heart for Shangri-La
But that it's a nowhere-land, after all
How I wonder why no one tries to sail out
Looking for a strange paradise

In my dreams, I've seen people there
Exchanging words of love and care
In the bright sunbeams they're dancing with the birds
And they're singing all day long beside the streams

One day, someday
You'll surely find me sailing away
For the white beach of the promised land
Now here we stand

Oh, in the burning sunset
Talking only of the promised land
I'm gland to know now I am not the only one
I've got nice friends who share dreams with me

We are so young; we've got some magic powers
We are nourishing like flowers
Oh, let us wait until the day comes when we will all
Sail across the deeper blue sea

In our dreams , we've seen people there
Exchanging words of love and care
In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
And they're singing all day long beside the streams

One day, someday
You'll surely find us sailing away
For the white beach of the promised land.

K.P. Kavafis - Ithaki



Alexandros Hatzis sings the famous poem of Constantine Cavafy "Ithaca".
Music: Yiannis Petritsis



Ithaca

As you set out for Ithaca
Hope that your journey is a long one,
Full of adventure full of discovery.

Laestrygonians and Cyclops
Angry Poseidon -- do not be afraid of them:
You'll never find things like that on your way
As long as you keep your thoughts raised high
As long as a rare sensation touches
your spirit and your body.

Laestrygonians and Cyclops
wild Poseidon -- you won't encounter
them
Unless you bring them along inside your soul
Unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope that your journey is a long one,
May there be many summer morning
When with what pleasure what joy
You come into harbours seen for the first time.
May you stop at Phoenician trading stations
To buy fine things, mother- of pearl- and coral, amber and ebony.
Sensual perfume of every kind
As many sensual perfumes as you can.

And may you visit many Egyptian cities
To learn and learn again from those who know.

Keep Ithaca always in your mind
Arriving there is what you are destined for.

But do not hurry the journey at all
Better if it lasts for years
So that you are old by the time you reach the island
Wealthy with all you have gained on the way
Not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

Ithaca gave you the marvellous journey
Without her you would not have set out
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor
Ithaca won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become
So full of experience
You will have understood by then
What these Ithacas mean.

Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)

Ο Αλέξανδρος Χατζής τραγουδά το φημισμένο ποίημα του Κωνσταντίνου Καβάφη "Ιθάκη".
Μουσική: Γιάννης Πετρίτσης

Ιθάκη
Σα βγεις στον πηγαιμό για την Ιθάκη,
να εύχεσαι νάναι μακρύς ο δρόμος,
γεμάτος περιπέτειες, γεμάτος γνώσεις.
Τους Λαιστρυγόνας και τους Κύκλωπας,
τον θυμωμένο Ποσειδώνα μη φοβάσαι,
τέτοια στον δρόμο σου ποτέ σου δεν θα βρείς,
αν μέν' η σκέψις σου υψηλή, αν εκλεκτή
συγκίνησις το πνεύμα και το σώμα σου αγγίζει.
Τους Λαιστρυγόνας και τους Κύκλωπας,
τον άγριο Ποσειδώνα δεν θα συναντήσεις,
αν δεν τους κουβανείς μες στην ψυχή σου,
αν η ψυχή σου δεν τους στήνει εμπρός σου.

Να εύχεσαι νάναι μακρύς ο δρόμος.
Πολλά τα καλοκαιρινά πρωϊά να είναι
που με τι ευχαρίστησι, με τι χαρά
θα μπαίνεις σε λιμένας πρωτοειδωμένους•
να σταματήσεις σ' εμπορεία Φοινικικά,
και τες καλές πραγμάτειες ν' αποκτήσεις,
σεντέφια και κοράλλια, κεχριμπάρια κ' έβενους,
και ηδονικά μυρωδικά κάθε λογής,
όσο μπορείς πιο άφθονα ηδονικά μυρωδικά•
σε πόλεις Αιγυπτιακές πολλές να πας,
να μάθεις και να μάθεις απ' τους σπουδασμένους.

Πάντα στον νου σου νάχεις την Ιθάκη.
Το φθάσιμον εκεί είν' ο προορισμός σου.
Αλλά μη βιάζεις το ταξίδι διόλου.
Καλλίτερα χρόνια πολλά να διαρκέσει•
και γέρος πια ν' αράξεις στο νησί,
πλούσιος με όσα κέρδισες στον δρόμο,
μη προσδοκώντας πλούτη να σε δώσει η Ιθάκη.

Η Ιθάκη σ' έδωσε το ωραίο ταξίδι.
Χωρίς αυτήν δεν θάβγαινες στον δρόμο.
Αλλο δεν έχει να σε δώσει πια.

Κι αν πτωχική την βρεις, η Ιθάκη δεν σε γέλασε.
Ετσι σοφός που έγινες, με τόση πείρα,
ήδη θα το κατάλαβες η Ιθάκες τι σημαίνουν.

Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης (1911)

Ithaka


Als je de tocht aanvaardt naar Ithaka
wens dat de weg dan lang mag zijn,
vol avonturen, vol ervaringen.
De Kyklopen en de Laistrygonen,
de woedende Poseidon behoef je niet te vrezen,
hen zul je niet ontmoeten op je weg
wanneer je denken hoog blijft, en verfijnd
de emotie die je hart en lijf beroert.
De Kyklopen en de Laistrygonen,
de woedende Poseidon zul je niet treffen
wanneer je ze niet in eigen geest meedraagt,
wanneer je geest hun niet gestalte voor je geeft.

Wens dat de weg dan lang mag zijn.
Dat er veel zomermorgens zullen komen
waarop je, met grote vreugde en genot
zult binnenvaren in onbekende havens,
pleisteren in Phoenicische handelssteden
om daar aantrekkelijke dingen aan te schaffen
van parelmoer, koraal, barnsteen en ebbehout,
ook opwindende geurstoffen van alle soorten,
opwindende geurstoffen zoveel je krijgen kunt;
dat je talrijke steden in Egypte aan zult doen
om veel, heel veel te leren van de wijzen.

Houd Ithaka wel altijd in gedachten.
Daar aan te komen is je doel.
Maar overhaast je reis in geen geval.
't Is beter dat die vele jaren duurt,
zodat je als oude man pas bij het eiland
het anker uitwerpt, rijk aan wat je onderweg verwierf,
zonder te hopen dat Ithaka je rijkdom schenken zal.
Ithaka gaf je de mooie reis.
Was het er niet, dan was je nooit vertrokken,
verder heeft het je niets te bieden meer.

En vind je het er wat pover, Ithaka bedroog je niet.
Zo wijs geworden, met zoveel ervaring, zul je al
begrepen hebben wat Ithaka's beduiden.

K.P. Kavafis

vertaald uit het Grieks: Hans Warren en Mario Molengraaf

ATHINA


You,
You have everything I need,
Only you,
Only you can set me free.
Tonight,
I need to be in your arms,
Tonight,
I am giving you my heart.

'Cause you 're my desire,
You 're the place in my dreams.

Athina, there's a fire burning
Deep inside your eyes tonight,
And you make my heart beat faster
Oh Athina,
Will you take me on your wings so I can fly?
Athina, Athina

I need you more than words can say
And I miss you so when I'm away.
This time you will hold me in your hands,
This time I will make you understand.

'Cause you 're my desire,
You 're the place in my dreams.

Athina, there's a fire burning
Deep inside your eyes tonight,
And you make my heart beat faster
Oh Athina,
Will you take me on your wings so I can fly?
Athina, Athina

Giati joris esena mia zoi na zo?
Den to antejo, den boro.

'Cause you 're my desire,
You 're the place in my dreams.

Athina, there's a fire burning
Deep inside your eyes tonight,
And you make my heart beat faster
Oh Athina,
Will you take me on your wings so I can fly?
Athina, Athina

Athina, Athina

A Room With A View


Sitting at the window staring down
Listen to the people shuffle around
Hear the children laughing
Feel the morning breeze
Sunlight warms his skin
The autumn air is taken in
A nearby bird sings its song for him

A room with a view
You're looking at him
He's looking through you
A room with a view
Who's fooling who
There's got to be something that he knew

So there he sits and some may wonder
About the sly grin on his face
Yet little do they know
(they don't have a clue)
The boundaries of his wisdom
In the solitude of his kingdom

EEN NIEUW BEGIN


A new age dawns before my eyes, I can feel the ars divine
With the sun above we'll build our holy land
What a sight to see a future yet to come
Now we become as one with the feeling of heaven

A better age will surely rise, forget the pain, embrace the light
"The sacred gift of innocence"
Darkness is down, alive we stand, Gods' children come redeem your holy land

What a sight to see a future yet to come
Now we become as one with the feeling of heaven

A better age will surely rise, forget the pain, embrace the light
"The sacred gift of innocence"
Darkness is down, alive we stand, Gods' children come redeem your holy land

Now we are close to a new world coming, blessed be the light in our souls
No more we'll follow the blind "And His lies won't be heard"
We'll be the masters of our lives

Now we are close to a new world coming, blessed be the light in our souls
No more we'll follow the blind "And His lies won't be heard"
We'll be the masters of our lives

Beyond the crystal gates under the sun will rise. Enlighten our time
Usher a better time. The future is thine

A better age will surely rise, forget the pain, embrace the light
"The sacred gift of innocence"
Darkness is down, alive we stand, Gods' children come redeem your holy land

Now we are close to a new world coming, blessed be the light in our souls
No more we'll follow the blind "And His lies won't be heard"
We'll be the masters of our lives

On this day, we will fly away like an eagle soars to another shore
We are flying high on the events tide. Blessed be the one who guides us
Higher, take me higher
The dreams sent by the gods live forever now forever more
