By candlelight, I weave and wait (espera mou)
The threads of fate, in silent plea
oooooooohhh
At ocean's call, my heart's at sea (thalassa mou)
In every stitch, a tear for thee
[sad harp]
[princess voice singing]
oooooooohhh
anamoní (anamoní) gia sena (agápi mou)
[harp solo]
In woven tales (mythes mou)
The hours pass, love's flames burn bright (fotia mou)
Each night unfolds, awaiting news of your return
[harp lament]
oooooooohh
[sole princess voice]
la la laaa, laaa laaa
Odyssius, agápi mou
I yearn for thee
[verse]
[sole female voice]
one thousand leagues
you've gone to war
yet now years have passed
and you're still gone!
[chorus]
With every dawn (proti avgí), I pray you're near (gia sena)
Through the veil of mists, your ship to steer
aaaaaaaahhh
Through trials vast, you search for home (nostos sou)
But here I stand, amidst the loom, alone
Beyond the waves (peran ton kymaton)
My whispers fly, to reach your soul (psyhi mou)
Beneath the stars (ta asteria), I'm counting time
In hope's embrace, your memory's mine
[Violin interlude]
[sole female voice]
With each thread spun (to nimma), our fates entwine (syndethoume)
In patience vast, your face I find
