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
