Songtexte I am Odysseus - Deborah Stokol

And here I'll commence
With my family name
So you may hold it close
And if in future times
I shall reach the Hearth I love so dear
Will host you well
Be your friend
Though my Home is leagues away

I am Odysseus, son of Laertes
My name's gone far
For many feats and deeds

I am Odysseus, son of Laertes
My name's gone far
For many feats and deeds

My glory flies so high
My glory flies so high
Ithaka, I've long hailed my Home

My glory flies so high
My glory flies so high
Ithaka, I've long hailed my Home

My island's a rugged place
But sweet for rearing young
And in my mind
I know no more yearned-for a sight
Than the shores
My Native Homestead
Than the shores
Of my Native Land

I am Odysseus, son of Laertes
My name's gone far
For many feats and deeds

I am Odysseus, son of Laertes
My name's gone far
For many feats and deeds

My glory flies so high
My glory flies so high
Ithaka, I've long hailed my Home

My glory flies so high
My glory flies so high
Ithaka, I've long hailed my Home

Is my Home
Is my Home
Is my Home
Is my Home

Ithaka, I've long hailed my Home
