BEAUTIFUL AND STRANGE HOMELAND
Poem by Odysseas Elytis
Μusic: Dimitris Lagios
Translation: Debra Szybinski

Beautiful and strange homeland
like this one I have not seen

Drops a line to catch fish—catches birds
ties a boat to the earth—a garden in the water
weeps, kisses the soil—leaves for foreign lands
lives on the streets—becomes courageous

Beautiful and strange homeland
like this one I have not seen

Tries to grab a stone—lets it drop
attempts to dig—miracles emerge
gets into a little boat travels—oceans
seeks rebellions—desires tyrants

Beautiful and strange homeland
like this one I have not seen
