Rising sun is just beginning Poseidon seems appeased today The sea is calm, the breeze slight My ship glides slowly over the water
I've been lost for many times I've been waiting for many months to come back in my country After our victory over the Trojan enemy Me... Ulysses... searching for the road of salvation!
Today, arises another trial Wizard Medea has warned me of the danger The peril of sailing near Anthemoessa Island Land inhabited by malefic creatures Birds women, cruel virgins, famous sirens Who charmed the most intrepid sailors To wreck them on reefs And devour them with no mercy
I have undergone many hardships... I have defeated many monsters... But this time... how could I struggle against such deadly angels? How resist their bewitching voices? Their so captivating and perfidious tunes? Me... Ulysses... searching for the road of salvation!
Setting sun is just beginning The sea is abnormally quiet and there is a sudden breeze A breathless calm settles on the waves And my crew is seized by terror
Here we are! Sirens are approaching... Only I can resist their dangerous organ I make my companions plug their ears with wax And make them tie me to the ship mast Ordering to them to tie it tighter Every time I moan for them to release me Under the hold of this terrible malediction
Their admirable voices fill my heart with the desire to listen I will not resist... Please, unchain me! But more I scream, more my sailors tighten even more The ties that imprison me While the rest of the crew rows even more forcefully To leave this damned island
Me... Ulysses... once again I have won! I have survived the terrible sirens! Now, can I continue my destiny And find at last... the road of salvation!
