Πηνελόπη [Pinelopi] [English translation]

You tell me you got tired, you don't want to wait,

for twenty years weaving the same dress

and I who traveled the world without a map

listen what I heard tied up at the mast

Everyone who has disembarked is eaten by woodworm

and whoever has traveled envies Ithaca

To you I will keep returning and if that isn't enough for you,

become a ship so I become a harbour,

so we may see, my dear, who will make it to the end

and who will play his role better

Everyone who has disembarked is eaten by woodworm

and whoever has traveled envies Ithaca

And don't run to catch up the things that didn't happen,

since you could never understand

that you were always from the start till the end,

you the shield, the bow and the arrow of mine

Everyone who has disembarked will be eaten by woodworm

and whoever has traveled envies Ithaca

You tell me you got tired, you don't want to wait,

for twenty years weaving the same dress
