All rights reserved Ω Ελένη, ωραία υπέρ πάσαν θνητήν μορφήν, συ η ανατείλασα ως άστρον εν τω ορίζοντι του πόθου, όσοι σε είδον, παρεδόθησαν εις τον ίμερον, όσοι σε ηγάπησαν, επολέμησαν και απέθανον εν τω ονόματί σου. Διά σε εκινήθησαν χίλιαι νήες, διά σε εκάη η Τροία, και η φωνή του Ομήρου ακόμη αντηχεί δια μέσου των αιώνων αδιάλειπτος. Ελένη… face that launched the endless war Beauty sharper than the bronze of yore Through every age your name still burns The dream that every lover yearns Και νυν, εν τω παρόντι χρόνω, όσοι ακούουσι το όνομά σου, φαντάζονται σε εν ονείροις και εν αγρύπνοις, εμπνέονται και καίονται υπό της ιδίας φλογός. Και εις το μέλλον, όσοι ερασθήσονται μίαν Ελένην, διά τούτους συ έση η ωραιοτέρα πασών· η μορφή σου αναλλοίωτος διασχίζει τους αιώνας, ως φως μηδέποτε σβεννύμενον, ως πόθος μηδέποτε πληρούμενος. Ελένη… face that launched the endless war Beauty sharper than the bronze of yore Through every age your name still burns The dream that every lover yearns From the ashes of the burning towers To the quiet of these later hours Your shadow walks through every land A flame no century can withstand The poets die, the kings decay But you remain… and lead astray I have sung of the face that set the world aflame, Of the name that turned to blood and endless shame. Of warriors who crossed the wine-dark sea, Of dreamers yet unborn who will long for thee. Homer’s voice still echoes, never spent, Through every age your beauty is unbent. Past, present, future — one eternal fire: Ελένη… the first and last desire. Now the centuries kneel and the ages hold their breath As your name outlives both love and death I will write you in the dark, I will carve you in the light I will keep your flame against the endless night One glance across the ages, one whisper of your name And every heart still burns with the same sweet flame Ωραία Ελένη… face that launched the endless war Beauty sharper than the bronze of yore Through every age your name still burns The dream that every lover yearns And will forever yearn
