Itaca

Captain, you who have in your eyes
your noble destiny
Do you ever think of the sailor
who lacks bread and wine?
Captain, you who have found
princesses in every port
Do you ever think of the rower
whose wife believes him dead?
Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
My home is only there

Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
And home is where I want to return
From the sea, from the sea, from the sea

Captain, your faults
I also pay with my days
While my greatest sin
makes the gods smile
And if you die, it's a king who dies
Your home will have an heir
When I don't return home
Hunger and thirst enter
Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
My home is only there

Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
And home is where I want to return
From the sea, from the sea, from the sea

Captain, you who solve
every adventure with cunning
Do you remember a soldier
who is more afraid each time?
But even fear deep down
always gives me a strange pleasure
If there were still a world
I'm ready, where do we go?
Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
My home is only there

Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
And home is where I want to return
From the sea, from the sea, from the sea

Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
My home is only there
Ithaca, Ithaca, Ithaca
And home is where I want to return...
