Paroles et traduction Fermín Muguruza - Itaka Berriro

Itaka Berriro

Itaka, berriro helmugatzat
Bidea eta bidaia, luzea izan dadila.
Marlen Dietrich zela ustez, sentibera
"Deabrua emakumezkoa da" filmean
Eli Lambeti zen berriz, hitzaldia
Beti atxeki Itaka, zeure buruan
Baina ez bortxatu bidaia, Kavafis-ena
Ulertu nuen jakituriaz, esanahiak
Denbora-bitarte handian, badudala
Zure musuaren mapak, nabiga ditzadan
Itaka, berriro helmugatzat
Bidea eta bidaia, luzea izan dadila.

Beste lurralde batera, beste itsasora
Hiri ezberdin bat aurkitu, hau baino hobea
Adi! Hori esan bazenuen,"Polis"- en deia
Kondena idatzita baitago, saiakeran
Armiarmaren sarean, harrapatuta
Kartago mehatxua bada, ni nator bat
Baita Metropolitarrak artearen kontra
Herioaren aurrean Laberintoa
Itaka, berriro helmugatzat
Bidea eta bidaia, luzea izan dadila.

Ithaca Once Again

Ithaca, once again as the destination
May the journey and the path be long.
Marlene Dietrich supposedly, sensitive
In the film "The Devil Is a Woman"
Eli Lambeti was the speech, however
Always desire Ithaca within yourself
But do not rush the journey, Cavafis-like
I understood with wisdom, its meaning
Over a long expanse of time, I possess
Your maps of kisses, for me to navigate
Ithaca, once again as the destination
May the journey and the path be long.

To another land, to another sea
Find a different city, better than this
Beware! If you were to say that, "Polis" would call
For the sentence is written in the attempt
Caught in the spider's web
If Carthage is a threat, I shall partake
So shall Metropolitans against art
A Labyrinth in the face of death
Ithaca, once again as the destination
May the journey and the path be long.
