Le Retour(original) |
Ulysse part la voile au vent |
Vers Ithaque aux ondes chéries |
Avec des bercements la vague roule et plie |
Au large de son coeur la mer aux vastes eaux |
Où son oeil suit les blancs oiseaux |
Egrène au loin des pierreries |
Ulysse part la voile au vent |
Vers Ithaque aux ondes chéries! |
Penché oeil grave et coeur battant |
Sur le bec d’or de sa galère |
Il se rit, quand le flot est noir, de sa colère |
Car là-bas son cher fils pieux et fier attend |
Après les combats éclatants |
La victoire aux bras de son père |
Il songe, oeil grave et coeur battant |
Sur le bec d’or de sa galère |
Ulysse part la voile au vent |
Vers Ithaque aux ondes chéries |
(translation) |
Odysseus sets sail to the wind |
Towards Ithaca with cherished waves |
With rocking the wave rolls and bends |
Beyond her heart the sea of vast waters |
Where his eye follows the white birds |
Scattered away from the gems |
Odysseus sets sail to the wind |
To Ithaca with cherished waves! |
Bend down grave eye and beating heart |
On the golden beak of his galley |
He laughs, when the flood is black, at his anger |
For there his dear pious and proud son awaits |
After the fierce battles |
Victory in the arms of his father |
He thinks, grave eye and beating heart |
On the golden beak of his galley |
Odysseus sets sail to the wind |
Towards Ithaca with cherished waves |
