Il ballo del qua-qua

C'è bisogno di presentarla questa canzone? Ovviamente è Il ballo del qua-qua, tradotta in Greco. Chissà perché :). Beh, sentiamo IAFI:

On 28/1/22 at 20:21 I randomly start translating Il ballo del qua qua into Greek. I do three lines, with a hole in the second one which looks like Και του <> που μιλά. I complete that line the following day at 15:17 as I update this post. On 6/2/22 at 22:19, I then find out ducks in Greek don't go like that, but πα-πα, so I fix κουα-κουα accordingly. Thing is, khóros is choir, not dance, which is khorós. So on 9/2/22 at 12:37 I change Χόρος είναι του Πα-Πα to the below, and at 12:41 I think of Με τα φτερά γύρνα εδώ and then Γύρνα εδώ με τα φτερά. So let's make an intertwining. After making it, 12/2/22 19:25, I change Ο χορός 'ναι του Πα-Πα to the below version. 30/7/22 19:10-19:14, as this thing is shoved into my face while going for an update of this post, I finish translating the last 4 lines.
Il 28/1/22 alle 20:21 inizio a caso a tradurre Il ballo del qua qua in Greco. Faccio 3 righe, con un buco nella seconda che ha l'aspetto «Και του <> που μιλά». Completo quella riga il giorno seguente alle 15:17 mentre aggiorni questo post [cioè IAFI]. Il 6/2/22 alle 22:19, scopro che le papere in Greco non fanno così, ma πα-πα (pa-pa), quindi aggiusto di conseguenza il κουα-κουα. Il fatto è che khóros è coro, non ballo, che è khorós. Quindi il 9/2/22 alle 12:37 cambio Χόρος είναι του Πα-Πα nella versione sotto, e alle 12:41 penso a Με τα φτερά γύρνα εδώ e poi Γύρνα εδώ με τα φτερά. Quindi facciamo un testo combinato. Dopo averlo fatto, il 12/2/22 alle 19:25, cambio Ο χορός 'ναι του Πα-Πα alla versione sotto. Il 30/7/22 alle 19:10-19:14, mentre questa cosa mi si butta in faccia perché vado ad aggiornare questo post [IAFI], finisco di tradurre le ultime 4 righe.


Then, on 6/10-7/10, I am sick, so I decide to work less than usual, and have time to continue some translations. After a couple of continuations, and even the end of the below item, my eye falls on this, and I decide to continue it. I do a bunch at 20:52-21:34, then one last line at 22:56, at which point IIRC I send in the intertwining. Over the next day, I interact with Kika, who does the second half of the chorus and the braccetto lines of verse 2, and complete the rest of the translation, which eventually comes to look like this:
Poi, il 6/10-7/10, sono malato, quindi decido di lavorare meno del solito, ed ho tempo di continuare un po' di traduzioni. Dopo un paio di continuazioni, e perfino la fine della traduzione di sotto [cagata; cioè, la traduzione sotto doveva essere Ob-la-di Italiano, ma quella è finita il 5, non il 6 e non il 7], mi cade l'occhio su questa, e decido di continuarla. Ne faccio un sacco alle 20:52-21:34, poi un'ultima riga alle 22:56, al che se ben ricordo mando [alla Kika] il testo combinato. Nel corso del giorno seguente, interagisco colla Kika, che fa la seconda metà del ritornello e le righe del braccetto nella strofa 2, e completo il resto della traduzione, che alla fine arriva [all'aspetto sotto].
Che senso avesse l'"an" raddoppiato di «Και κανείς δε ξέρει αν / Αν κάποτε θα σταματά», reso singolo alle 15:01 del 21/11/23, non lo so.

E con ciò, vediamo 'sta traduzione! Affiancata a destra da una retrotraduzione letterale del greco, che lì resterà finché non farò, se mai lo farò, un riempicolonna.



Questo è il ballo del qua-qua,
E di un papero che sa
Fare solo qua-qua-qua
Più qua-qua-qua
Mamma papero e papà
Con le mani fan qua qua
E una piuma vola già
Di qua e di là
Le ginocchia piega un po'
Poi scodinzola così
Batti forte le tue mani
E fai qua-qua
Con un salto vai più in là
Con le ali torna qua:
Ma che grande novità
Il qua-qua-qua!

Rit.
Prendi sotto braccio
La felicità
Basta aver coraggio
All'arrembaggio
Col qua qua qua

Balla il ballo del qua qua
Come un papero che sa
Fare solo qua qua qua
Più qua qua qua
Forza tutti qui con me
A braccetto tre per tre
Attenzione si farà
Un gran qua qua
Se tu stai di fronte a me
Io lo ballo insieme a te
E se un bacio volerà
Che male fa
Ma chi il papero non fa
Che figura che farà
Di sicuro sembrerà
Un baccalà

Rit.

Questo è il ballo del qua-qua,
E di un papero che sa
Fare solo qua-qua-qua
Più qua qua qua
Con le ali vai più in là
Con un salto torna qua
Fai la mossa che ti va
Ma fai qua-qua
Questo è il ballo del qua-qua,
Che continua e non si sa
Se un bel giorno finirà
Di far qua-qua
Tutto il mondo ormai lo sa
Che la moda è questa qua
Batti forte le tue mani
E fai qua-qua

Rit.

* Να ο χορός του Πα-Πα-Πα,
Για τον πάπιο που μιλά
Μόνο λέοντας Πα-Πα-Πα
Και Πα-Πα-Πα
Μαμά πάπια και μπαμπάς
Με τα χέρια λέν Πα-Πα
Κι ήδη ένα φτερό πετά
Μπρος πίσω, να!
Λύγιζε τα γόνατα,
Μετά κούνα την ουρά,
Χειροκρότα δυνατά
Και να λες Πα-Πα
Μ' ένα άλμα πας μακριά
Και γυρνάς με τα φτερά·
Αχ, καινό 'ν' αληθινά
Το Πα-Πα-Πα!

Επωδός·
Τώρα αγκαζέ να
Πιάσεις την χαρά,
Νά ‘βρεις το κουράγιο,
Να κάνεις σάλτο
Στο Πα-Πα-Πα!

Χόρευε το Πα-Πα-Πα
Ωσάν πάπιο που μιλά
Μόνο λέοντας Πα-Πα-Πα
Και Πα-Πα-Πα
Μπρός μαζί μου όλοι εσείς,
Σταυροχέρι τρείς με τρείς,
Προσοχή! Κάντε μετά
Τρανταχτό Πα-Πα.
Αν εσύ 'σαι μπροστά μου,
Θα χορεύω μαζί σου
Κι αν ένα φιλί πετά,
Τι 'ναι κακά;
Τώρα καν' τον πάπιο εσύ,
Αχ, αλλώς πως θα φανείς;
Θα φανείς 'σύ σίγουρα
Σαν ένας βλαξ.

Επωδός

Να ο χορός του Πα-Πα-Πα,
Για τον πάπιο που μιλά
Μόνο λέοντας Πα-Πα-Πα
Κι άλλο Πα-Πα-Πα
Πας μακριά με τα φτερά,
Γύρνα εδώ με άλματα
Με τα δικά σου βήματα
Να λες Πα-Πα
Να ο χορός του Πα-Πα-Πα,
Και κανείς δε ξέρει αν
Κάποτε θα σταματά
Να λέει Πα-Πα
Ξέρει ο κόσμος τώρα πια
Πως η μόδα είν' αυτή
Χειροκρότα δυνατά
Και να λες Πα-Πα

Επωδός

Ecco il ballo del qua-qua-qua,
Per il papero che parla
Dicendo solo qua-qua-qua
E qua-qua-qua
Mamma papera e papà
Con le mani dicono qua qua
E già una piuma vola
Avanti e indietro, ecco!
Piega le ginocchia,
Poi muovi la coda,
Applaudi forte
E di' qua-qua
Con un salto vai lontano
E torni con le ali:
Ah, è nuovo in verità
Il qua-qua-qua!

Rit.
Ora sottobraccio
Prendi la felicità
Che tu trovi il coraggio
Di fare un salto
Nel qua qua qua

Balla il qua-qua-qua
Come un papero che parla
Dicendo solo qua-qua-qua
E qua-qua-qua
Avanti, con me tutti voi
A braccia incrociate, tre con tre,
Attenzione! Dopo fate
Un vibrante qua-qua
Se tu stai di fronte a me
Ballerò insieme a te
E se un bacio vola,
Che c'è di male?
Ora fai il papero tu,
Ah, altrimenti come apparirai?
Tu apparirai di sicuro
Come un idiota

Rit.

Ecco il ballo del qua-qua-qua,
Per il papero che parla
Dicendo solo qua-qua-qua
E qua-qua-qua
Vai lontano con le ali,
Torna qui a salti,
Con i tuoi propri passi,
Di' qua-qua
Ecco il ballo del qua-qua-qua,
E nessuno sa
Se un giorno smetterà
Di dire qua-qua
Sa il mondo ormai già
Che la moda è questa
Applaudi forte
E di' qua-qua

Rit.

長歌のサッフォー Chôka no Saffō

So… here we are. This started about 2 years ago, when I randomly decided to try my hand at a Japanese version of The stars and the moon using the meter I used to misname as "Haiku", and it has now grown into a big-ass anthology of Chôka translations of Sappho. Because that's me, guys: 傻得无可救药 Shǎ dé wú kě jiù yào, I'm thinking, but that's "foolish beyond cure", I'd need "crazy beyond cure" :).
Anyway, let us first list all the fragments in chronological order of translation, with a title of my invention and references to past Sappho editions, telling the histories of their translations where applicable, and otherwise leaving just the title and references. This first index is of course subject to reordering, since the translations are nowhere near done.
The second index, which gives them in the order I chose for this post, is the one that is not subject to reordering. I will fix this order tonight, 26/10/23, forever.
The post will have two tabs: in "原板 Genban: Original", I will give the original translations I made, whereas in "竹内隆の修正版 Takeuchi Takashi no shūsê-ban: Takashi's corrections", I will give the corrected (mostly read: reformulated, rewritten) versions by Quora user Takashi Takeuchi, who happily agreed to correct not only these but any translation into Japanese I send him.
So here is the list of fragments, with the translated ones listed in chronological order of translation, the other ones listed in the order they appear in at Safo: Poemas (which I was looking at to choose the fragments), and each of them tagged [C] for corrected, [M] for made but not corrected, and [U] for unmade.
  1. [C]"The stars and the moon" (LP 34); this and many other translations are migrated here from Sparse translations of Sappho into "unconventional" languages, which I will henceforth quote, whenever applicable, under the abbreviation "UNCMIG": «The Japanese one was made between 15 and 16 on 24/2/21 and posted here [in the uncorrected form] to request improvement suggestions. I later made three more translations (see below), but I'm not totally sure I will do a Japanese edition of Sappho in waka meter, hence why all those translations are in this post. I then got an answer about the translation here under the question about the other three, at 9:18 on Feb 26, where two corrections were suggested, which I took up and have below. It is the only one here that translates the Bergk-amended text with αἶψ' instead of ἂψ.»; huh; I was calling it "waka"? Weird;
  2. [C]"Two opinions" (LP 51); UNCMIG: «The first version is from around 19:10 on 25/2/21, made in a couple of minutes. I posted it here. I get comments by explicitly asking for them in the comments to an answer misplaced under that question, and this produces the second version the next day, with "dekinai", at "now" = 11:43:20, and that was fixed at "6 mins ago" from 13:40:46.»; in this case, we have back-translations, which will be sided with the Greek in both tabs, as options for siding alongside a literal translation; UNCMIG: «In the night between 12 and 13/10/23, thinking of the captions for the above, I start translating the Haiku translation at the top of this list into an Italian haiku at 1:39, and into an English one at 1:40. By 2:24, the below versions are complete»;
  3. [C]"Niobe and Latona" (LP 142); UNCMIG: «Next up we have Japanese again. This time it's the line about Latona and Niobe. The first Japanese version is from 25/2/21 at about 19:30. I posted it here, where I then got the second one, with "Niobe no futari" for l. 2, at "now" from 11:43:20 the next day, whereas at "31 mins" from 14:51:10 that gets made into the current version.»;
  4. [C]"Golden chickpeas" (LP 143); UNCMIG: «Then we have a Japanese waka translation of the golden chickpeas line. On 26/2/21, shortly before 00:50, I make the first version. I post it here, and the next morning at "now" from 11:43:20 I get the second version suggested to me.»;
  5. [M]"Leda" (LP 166); UNCMIG: «To, for the time being, close this post off, we have a translation of the Leda fragment into Japanese. It started at 3:01 in the night between 13/3 and 14/3/21, and was finished between 14:04 and 14:15 the next day.»;
  6. [C]"Love shook my heart" (LP 47); UNCMIG: «2.5 years later, once this series of Haikus had become a project for an anthology of Sapphic Haikus (cfr. this online todo list, noting that the list of fragments to be Haiku-ized, if it is there in the version you're looking at, was created on 21/10, so after the next three translations were done), I came back to this, and, on 20/10/23 at 13:52-14:22, I translated "Love shook my heart" aka LP 47. I will line this fragment's original up with its Campbell translation.»; the tanka revision by Takashi was posted in a comment to my post on this translation on 21/10/23 at 0:45; it unfortunately omits Eros, but I will make that clear through the title; since I don't like options in translations, at 16:15/16 on 14/11/23 I chose Tsuyoku over Fukaku in the last line of my Japanese version;
  7. [M]"You came" (LP 48 +); UNCMIG: «Later that day, at 16:51-17:40, I translated "You came", aka LP 48 plus extra line (SF48), and in the meantime, at 17:08-17:44, I translated that thing (incomplete though it was) into Italian hendecasyllabics, which I will line up with the Greek below. Idk what got into me to write "la mia vita" in that translation, but I fixed it at 18:49 on 21/10/23.»; I will indeed line the Greek up with the Italian back-translation below, but I will have a tab selection which lets you see an English rendition; in this case, I came back to sort of remake this at 23:57 on 23/10/23, and finished at 1:21 that night, getting to version B below; the Italian thing is from version A, of course;
  8. [C]"Idle-barking tongue" (LP 158); UNCMIG: «The following night, so on 21/10/23, at 0:56-1:44, I also translated "Idle-barking tongue", aka LP 158, completing the trio. This will have my own English translation lined up with the Greek. At least this one has already been corrected (read: rewritten) by Takashi, but I'll come back with another edit for that.»; Takashi commented with his reedition at 2:23 on 21/10/23;
  9. [M]"The moon has set" (Campbell 168B); at 11:11 on 24/10/23, I randomly think of this one, and make its final line «Hitori de nemuru»; I then try to see what "lie down" would be, but I have no connection, so I give up, and later I find katheýdō also means "sleep", so it's fine as is; I complete it at 1:57-2:06 on 27/10/23;
  10. [M]"Success to the mouth" (LP 58 ll. 1-10); as I work on the ordering and struggle to place this, at 15:44-15:51 on 26/10/23, I translate the final part, thiking of only translating that; then at night I recover the lines from the self-chat, and think I should translate the rest as well, leaving blank lines for gaps; I do so 1:29-1:44;
  11. [M]"To my friends" (LP 160 + τέρποισα); on 27/10/23, possibly as a way to occupy the time until merenda, I did this at 14:58-15:05;
  12. [M]"May you sleep" (LP 126); later that same 27/10/23, at 19:00-19:02, I did this; probably unwilling to work and trying to go till dinnertime at like 20;
  13. [M]"I don't expect" (LP 52); yet again 27/10/23, 19:10-19:15; I was convinced "dokímōmi" meant "dare", so i originally had «Aete shinai yo», which I fixed at 0:51/52 on 20/11/23;
  14. [M]"To the lyre" (LP 118); 27/10/23 19:20;
  15. [M]"Thou hast left me" (LP 129 +); yet again 27/10/23, 19:25-19:41;
  16. [M]"Kleis" (LP 132); last one from 27/10/23, the one that got me to dinner and beyond, since it went 19:42-20:24;
  17. [M]"About the doves" (LP 42); this one and the following were done as a time filler to get to a time late enough to switch the lights off; this one was 29/10/23 23:58 – 30/10/23 0:08, where version 1 was complete by 23:59;

Heart-shaking love
Jūdan ichi:
Kokoro yuru
Koi no sê de wa

1: To Cypris

How would anyone not be consumed,
O Cypris, queen, for the one she indeed loves,
And not want above all to be freed of the pains?
How can you stand

The way idly you tear me apart with heartquakes
And craving that has melted my knees, o my queen,
So many times? You were at first wholly not hateful to me,
Don't you lock

Me up now. […] I want […
…] to endure this […
…] and for myself
I know this.



2: Two thoughts

I don't know what to say: two are my thoughts.


2: Two thoughts

Dentro nel mio cuor,
Indicibile per me,
Coppia di pensieri c'è.
2: Two thoughts

Deep within my heart,
Both unspeakable, there are
Two thoughts very far apart.

3: Oh sweet mother

Sweet mother, I can indeed no longer weave my web,
Being overcome with desire of a boy because
                                            [of tender Aphrodite.


4: Love shook my heart

                 Love shook my
Heart, like a wind that has fallen unto oaks down a mountain.

5: Bittersweet love

Body-melting love shakes me again,
A bittersweet invincible beast.
Atthis, it has become hateful to you
To give heed to me, and to Andromeda you fly away.


6: O Atthis!

Atthis, Anactoria, who is dear to both you and me,
Dwells in far-away Sardis,
Often turning her mind to here      3

[And] how we used to live: with certainty she believed
You to be equal to a known
Goddess, and enjoyed your singing very much;      6

Now shines she among Lydian
Women as, after sunset,
Does the rosy-fingered moon,      9

Outshining all the stars, and directs [her] light
To the briny sea
And equally to the multiflowered countryside,      12

And beautiful dew has poured down, and there have bloomed
Roses, and tender chervils,
And the flower-like melilot;      15

And wandering a lot, remembering
Of gentle Atthis, with desire
[She] devours [her] delicate mind, and [her] heart with longing,      18

And shrill are her cries for us to come there; which are not
Unheard for us, for the many-eared night
Speaks them [to us] across the straits of the sea.      21

It is not easy for us to be equal
To goddesses in lovely beauty,
Even if you have an Adonis-like body,      24

… through the air
And … Aphrodite
Poured nectar from a golden pitcher      27

To us too…
… Peitho with [her] hands
…      30



… to the Geræstium      33

… dear
… nothing unheard of…
I/we will come to the temple      33


7: Ode to Anactoria

That man to me seems equal
To the gods, who sits before thee,
And, close [to you], listens [to you]
Sweetly speaking,

And charmingly smiling. Which truly
Shakes [my] heart in [my] chest.
Indeed, once I've seen you shortly,
No more voice comes to me,

But my tongue is snapped, a thin
Flame has immediately sneaked under my body,
With [my] eyes I see nothing,
[My] ears buzz,

Sweat pours down from me, tremor
Seizes [me] wholly, paler than grass
I am, and to myself I seem
Not far from dying⌞·

8: I beseech you, Gongyla

Now, my dear, I truly beseech you: taking
Your milky-white robe, oh Gongyla,
And make your appearance: again Desire itself
Flutters around you,

The beautiful one; for that dress
Shakes me up when I see it, and I rejoice:
Indeed the Cyprus-Goddess herself
Blames this of you;

I pray her…
This word…
I want…
… ]


9: Ode to a beautiful woman

[……………………
……………………
…] suffered for love
……

For when I see you before [me],
Then Hermione [herself] seems to not have been
Such [a beauty] to me, and comparing you to blonde Helen
[Seems] not at all unseemly,

If it's allowed of mortals; know this, that to your
Beauty, of all my cares
I would make a sacrifice, and worth all
My desires I believe you.

To Acheron's dewy banks
I would go if you died, your fame'
I will increase as much as I can, and I crave
To spend a whole night with you.


10: Dearest offspring of Uranus and Gaia

(a)

Some say it's a platoon of infantry, others that it's one of chivalry,
Others that it's a fleet that over this black earth
Is the most beautiful thing; I say that it's whatever
One loves.

It's entirely easy to make everyone
Understand this, for Helen, who had [next to her]
A lot of human beauty, her husband,
Best of all men,

Left, and sailed off to Troy,
And didn't remember her child or her dear parents
At all, but, not even unwilling,
Was led away

By Cypris: for she has unbending will,
And easily fulfils whatever she thinks of.
Thus I now remembered Anactoria,
Who is not present.

Her beloved footfall I would like to see,
And the bright sparkle of her face,
Rather than the chariots of the Lydians, and [Lydians]
Fighting by land in their shields.

(b)

It's not possible for happiness to wholly
Happen to men, but [they] can pray to have
A share of good luck. And I for myself
Know this.

[Stanzas may have been lost.]

… happen
… having walked to the summit
… snow; and she often
Towards…[

As… I/they was/were led away
… can; for those
Whom I treat well, those harm me the most
Out of the blue.


11: Kleis

I have a beautiful child, similar in beauty
To golden flowers, my beloved Kleis.
In exchange for her I wouldn't take all of Lydia
Nor dear Lesbos

14: Idyll with Aphrodite

[Come] hither to me from Crete to this holy
Temple, where there is a truly graceful grove
Of apple trees, and there are altars burning
With incense;

In the grove, cool water flows through the boughs
Of the apple trees, and by roses the whole place
Is shaded, and from the rustling leaves
Deep sleep falls down;

And a horse-nourishing meadow has bloomed
With spring flowers, and the winds
Honey-sweetly blow, coming down
From the heads of the plants.

Pick up some chaplets and come, Cypris,
Gently pouring into golden goblets
The nectar that for [our] feasts
Was mixed as wine.


15: Handcloths

Tonight you sat me down,
O golden-garlanded Aphrodite,'
In [my] dream braiding of your immortal

Head the divine hair,
And hanging down from your hair,
Purple handcloths, which Timas

Sent you from Phocæa,
Precious gifts [hanging] down from you hair.


16: Hymn to Aphrodite

Ornate-throned immortal Aphrodite,
Wile-weaving daughter of Zeus, I beg you:
Do not overpower with ache and anguish,
O queen, my heart,

But come here, if ever in other times,
Hearing my voice from far away,
You listened, and leaving [your] father's golden
House, you came,

Yoking [your] cart, and rapid pretty
Sparrows led you over black earth,
Frequently flapping [their] wings, from the sky
Through the middle of the ether,,

And quickly they arrived; and you, o Blessed one,
A smile on [your] immortal face,
Asked what I'd suffered again, and why
I was invoking [you] again,

And what I wanted the most to happen to me,
Crazy at heart: «Whom again should I persuade
To lead you to your love as well? Who,
o Sappho, is wronging you?

Indeed if she flees, she will soon chase [you],
If she doesn't take [your] gifts, she'll give [her own],
If she doesn't love [you], she will soon,
Even if she doesn't want to».

Come to me now as well, and set me free
From oppressive anxieties, and what my heart craves
To see happen to me, make it happen; and you yourself
Be my ally.


17: Queen Hera
Let your graceful, roaring feast,
Queen Hera, be brought around me,
Which the songs of Atreus, the kings,
Prayed for,

Having completed great deeds
First around Troy, then
Having set sail hither; they could not find
Their way

Before seeking you and Zeus god of the suppliants,
And the lovely son of Thyne.
Now we too, following the old [tradition],
Make these majestic, holy,

And beautiful [rites] for you; a cowd
Of maidens and praying women makes its way hither:
They want to, packed tightly around your altar,
Measuredly cry aloud.

]

… to be …
(come to the temple?)


18: On celebrating a feast


They call unto…
Totally; Don't you have a way that I could,
O mother, perform

A shining feast at the [proper] time? That is
A joy to those who live but a day; may it happen
To me to be cheerful, until the gods grant us
To hear the sound

Of the harps; this…
… than now…
…giving…
…made;

. . . . .

… ready …
… fulfil that

… I totally …

19: Hector and Andromacha

Cyprus…   ̣[         22-24 letters    ]αι  ̣
The messenger came running, pushed forth by the might of [his] legs,
The speedy messenger of Ida, bearing these tidings:
«[One ore more lines are missing, the last of which
Probably ended with      Of Troy]
And of the rest of Asia these things were the undecaying glory;
Hector and his companions are leading
From sacred Thebes and ever-flowing Placia
The quick-glancing tender Andromacha by ship over the briny
Sea; and many golden bracelets, and purple
Robes, and beautiful flower embroideries, motley adornments,
And countless silver wine-cups, and ivory.
Thus spoke he; and readily dear father leapt up;
And the news went through the spacious city to [his] loved ones;
At once the sons of Ilium to the well-running chariots
Yoked the mules; and the whole crowd came
Of women and of tender-ankled maidens;
Separately went the daughters of Priam,
And the men yoked the horses to the chariots, and together there
All the unmarried men, and far and wide went the great [went
People, and the charioteers led the excelling foals
With white patches outside the dear city then.
Everyone says that some lines are missing here.
When once again on the carriages there went the god-like
Hector and Andromacha, then all together
The people of Troy went to set out to sacred Ilium.
And the sweet-sounding flute and the cithara mixed together
With the sound of castanets, and clear-tonedly the maidens
Sang a sacred song, and to the air there went
A divinely sweet echo, laughter …
And everywhere in the streets there was …
Bowls and cups …
Myrrh and cassia and incense [the fire] accepted [within itself].̣
And all the elder women cried aloud,
And all the men cried out a delightful high-pitched
Pæana, calling unto the far-darting sweet-lyred [Apollo],
To sing of Hector and Andromacha, the god-like ones.
The second time where I said «Missing lines here»,
Perhaps another poem by Sappho started there.


20: May you sleep

May you sleep in the bosom of a tender girlfriend .


Nemureru yô ni

21: Let's sing for the couple

. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
Night…

May maidens before these doors,
Staying up all night, very happy bridegroom,
Sing the love of you and of
The violet-bosomed bride.

But wake up, fetch those of your age,
And set off, so that we may see
Even less sleep that the sweet-voiced
Bird will.


22: Hymenæum

Up high the roof,
Hymenæum,
Raise ye, o carpenters:
Hymenæum,
The groom is equal to Ares,
Hymenæum,
Much larger than a large man,
Hymenæum,
Superior, like the Lesbian
Hymenæum,
Singer to those of foreign lands.
Hymenæum.


13: Like the sweet apple

Sappho used to compare the bride to an apple:

As the sweet apple blushes on the high branch,
High on the highest [branch], and the pluckers forget it:
Indeed they don't forget, but can't reach [it]…

[She used] to like the groom to Achilles,
and put the young man on par with the hero in his achievements.



14: Like the hyatyncth

Like the hyacinth on the mountains is treaded on
By the feet of the shepherds, and the purple flower on the ground...


15: Happy bridegroom

Happy bridegroom, to you the wedding that you yearned for
Has been fulfilled, and you have the maiden you yearned for.
You have graceful looks, o bride, and honey-sweet
Eyes, and love has been poured on your lovable face:
With these evident things Aphrodite has exceedingly honored you.

You have left me. Ay me! Have you

29: Stand before me

And Sappho says to the one who is excessively
Admired for his looks and considered
handsome:


Stand thou here and before me, [as a] friend,
And spread out the grace in [your] eyes.


30: Dead shalt thou lie

Dead shalt thou lie, and never memory
Of thee will be until the end, for thou
Hast no share in the roses of Pieria,
But having flown 'midst lightless dead souls, thou,
Even in Hades' house uncouth, shalt wander.


31: Someone will remember

I say that even till the end someone will remember us.


32: Against Andromeda

…peaceful…
…having received from ægis-bearing Zeus…
…Cytherea, succour me as I pray [to you]…
…having a gracious heart…
…hear my prayers, if even in another time…
…having left Cyprus…
…you came to my cry…
…by painful solicitude…
[Three lost lines]


From the blessed gods … having obtained …
May you wish to cut off this calamity as well for me, you of all
The goddess with the most astute heart, oh, fulfil my wish:
You indeed loved [me] and used to grant everything for which I invoked
Now due to this defend me once more according to my wish! [[you],
«This cause is not unbecoming», said [she], «and what you wish to obtain
Is not at all much to get, for even Andromeda cannot      7
Overtly fight me, and what she did confiding in a voluptuous lifestyle
Is not [possible] to forget for the gods; and indeed you know well
That Nemesis strikes the one who is familiar with evil, and prevails over
Sappho, loving you the venerable queen of Cyprus fit wheels [everyone».
To [her] carriages, and for you she quickly went to entreat Zeus,
And a great gift the son of Cronus nodded assent for her to grant to you:
To all those whom the shining Sun surrounds with [its] beams,
Everywhere [your] noble fame [will arrive ?] …
And you on Acheron's [banks ?] …

[6 lost lines]


33: About her exile

… for out of my land
A conflict suddenly chased me … however the memory
Was not … but … equal to the gods.
Now though I'm roused against the culprit of these griefs
And vexations, and with the pains will Artemis the blessed one,
Who rules from above, lead elderly Andromeda under [her] cart,
And she will be ashamed of her character, not gentle, but stubborn,
For no-one halted the arrogance in her, [so she] doesn't hold back [her] insolence.
She/One could indeed quickly offer a herd of lambs to the sons of Tyndar,
[And] enjoy the peace of music in in a graceful
Delightful place of dance, ah, if honest no longer …
[With?] Megara the mild having taken [her] clear-toned harp,
… possible to them …
… to everyone …



34: Against the Polyanactids

… after a short while …
… the Polyanactids …
… to the Samian women …
Make to resonate in the plectrum-welcoming
Strings, firendlily banqueting
With such people,
The harp is made to vibrate gently,
And, sweet-voiced, through the bones
It slithers, and once it's in, runs through the marrow.


35: To Apollo

Son of Leto and Zeus,
… come to the feast,
Leaving woody Grynea
And your famous oracle


… in days

37: To the Nereids

Queen Nereids, grant me
That my brother may come here unscathed,
And whatever he may wish in his heart,
Fulfil it;

[Let him] make amend for all his past mistake,
And be a joy for his friends
And a grief for his enemies; and for us
May nobody ever be one;

And may he wish to make his sister
More greatly honored, and may he free
From mournful grievances those, whose hearts
He formerly crushed with his

Mourning, hearing a reproach, which used to devour
Even us in [my] flesh because of the citizens' blame,
As ever, not differently, but he realized it
Not at all after long,

And even more [will he understand] if he learns
What fame is like among mortals; and you, queen Cypris,
Burying up an unbearable offense,
Be persuaded by us.


38: Prayer to avert stormy journeys

… to reach a harbor

In violent storms, sailors,
Fearing for the great winds,
Throw away their cargo, and towards land
They steer the ship;

May I above all not set sail from anywhere
When a storm has arisen, nor throw
All the cargo I had into the deep sea, whether precious
Or worthless;

If Nereus, in his flowing pageant
In the sea, should happen to receive my
Cargo, I pray him to let it come to me
As quick as possible.

39: Brothers poem

«We have indeed suffered much, but may there come
Charaxus to us now with a full ship!»:
Indeed we suffer much still now, and the pain
Has reached you, wet nurse,

But you always chatter for Charaxus to come
With a full ship, which, I believe, Zeus
And all the gods know, but you needn't
Think about that,

But rather send me [out], and pray me
Tu pray queen Hera a lot
So that Charaxus may come here steering
A safe and sound ship,

And find us safe and sound; All
The rest, let us entrust to the gods:
For fair weather from great winds
Are quickly born;

And those whom the king of Olympus wants
A helper god to lead out
Of suffering, those remain blessed
And full of joy.

And we, if Larichus raises
His head, and sometime becomes a real man,
Would be set free even
From [our] great heaviness of heart.


40: To Charaxus
Version 1

. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
… give.

If you fly to renowned men
And not handsome and good ones, and say goodbye
To your loved ones, and pain me, saying that I
Have become your reproach,

Swollen in your heart, may your satisfy
Your heart with such things, and be satiated; for my thought
Does not easily yield to the rage
Of children;

But err not: a trap
Won't catch old birds; I know you,
To how much evilness you previously set forth,
And what foe

I'm up against. Therefore, thinking about better things,
Change your thoughts; for, since I've nurtured
An easily-satisfied mind, I know for sure that
Are on my side.                          [the blessed [gods]


Version 2

. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
You might find it wise to not
Return my favor.

You keep away the lovers of words
Noble and beautiful, born for the seven-toned
Lyres, and pain me, and hurl
Reproach at me.

Perhaps all swollen up in this reproach, with the outrage
Satiate your heart, for my thought
Is not so easily affected
By your rage.

Nostalgia for youth

41: For you were also a tender child

. . . . . . . . . .




For you also once were a tender child
And loved to sing: come, tell yourself
All these things, and from that heart
Generously gratify us;

For we're going to a wedding; and well and clearly
You also see this; but as fast as possible
Send away all the maidens, and may the gods
Find no dishonour.

The road to great Olympus is untrodden
… for man …
[................

42: O tender women

To them I said: «Tender women,
Such things as will be remembered near old age,
We too indeed in out bright youths
Have done them.

Many things indeed both beautiful and good we worked out
Back then; and to me, as I saw
You'd left the city, desire
Bit the heart

With sharp griefs.


43: If I still had milk

If my teats still had a share
Of milk, or my womb was still fit
For child-making, then with untrembling feet
I would go to another

Bed; but now already old age
Surrounds my body with a myriad wrinkles,
And Eros the pain-giver no longer
Flies toward me;

… of the noble …
… taking
The sweet-voiced harp, sing to us
Of the violet-bosomed one.

… above all of loves
… as long as (s)he wanders




44: Gifts of the Muses

Hasten ye toward the beautiful gifts of the violet-bosomed Muses,
Oh children, and [toward] the song-loving clear-toned lyre;
My once-tender body old age already
Has seized, and [my] hair, from black, has turned white,
And my heart has turned heavy, and my knees support me no longer,
Which were once as nimble in dancing as the fawns.
I often lament these things, but what could I ever do?
It's impossible for him who is human to become ageless.
Indeed once they said that rosy-fingered Dawn, because of love,
Climbed onto the bowl [of Helios], bringing Tithonus to the ends of
When he was handsome and young, but still grey old age,   [the Earth,
In time, seized him, who had an immortal wife.

Version 1
… not …
… I pray …
May there now be festivity …
And underground may [] have
The great glory of the Muses, having gifts as is becoming.
And everywhere] they would marvel at me while, as I am on earth,
They call [me] a clear-toned swallow if, having taken the harp,
Or the barbiton or that lyre, I sing to wedding beds.

Version 2
… not …
… I pray …
For me and my companions may there now be festivity,
And after, grown old, I die and end up underground,
Though I will keep the noble privilege of the servants of the Muses, as is
They would not marvel at me as they do now as I'm on earth;    [befitting,
Let [my] clear-toned song shine if, having taken the harp,
For my loved ones …, o Muse, I should sing beautiful things.

49: To Dica

But Sappho expresses more simply the reason for our practice of wearing garlands when she says:

But you, o Dica, put lovely garlands around your hair,
Having bound stems of anise together with your tender hands;
For it happens that even the blessed Graces had rather see
Flowery things, and turn away from the ungarlanded.


50: On summer

Wet your lung with wine, for the star is coming round,
The hour is harsh, everything is in thirst under the burning heat,
There sings from the leaves the sweet cicada, and from below the wings
It constantly pours down a clear song, when the fiery
Summer, having flown down to earth, dries everything up.
There blooms the artichoke; now women are at their ugliest,
But men are feeble, for Sirius their heads and knees
Parches.


51: To Mica

… nor is it licit for you, Mica,
… to laugh, but I will not let you
… you chose the friendship of the women of the house of Penthilus
… this, o wily one, has bitten our hearts,
For to those, not to us, you gift a sweet song,
But now there has formed a sweet-sounding harmony of breezes:
It is not indeed the flute singing this, but the shrill winds.


52: No lament is allowed

It is not licit for there to be in the house of those who serve the Muses
An unending mourning, Kleis: nor would such a thing become us.


53: He who's fair

He who is fair remains fair [only] to be seen,
He who is also good, will immediately also be fair.


54: Money without virtue

Money, not when it is alone by itself, but being also
embellished by virtue, opportunely enjoys the benefits of its own
and those of virtue, and has a wise concern for pursuing good things.
For each of these two on its own is not sweet:



Money without virtue is not a safe neighbour;
In the use of both lies the height of happiness.


55: I have a gentle mind

… for I am not one of those spiteful
with rage, but have a gentle mind. …


56: Idle-barking tongue

As anger spreads through [your] chest,
Guard ye your idly-barking tongue.

64: Forever a maiden I will be


To golden-haired Phoebus, whom the daughter of Coeus bore,
Having mingled with the great-named son of Cronus,
Artemis swore the gods' great oath:    [god of the high clouds,
«Yea, by your head, I will forever be a maiden
Unwed, hunting on the tops of the lonely
Mountains: come, grant this for my sake».
Thus spoke [she]; and the father of the blessed gods granted it,
And both gods and men call her by the great title
Of virgin, deer shooter, huntress.
To her body-melting Eros never goes near.

There dieth, o Cytherea, delicate Adonis; what shall we do?
Beat your breasts, girls, and rend your clothes.

And Gongyla said: "You could never know this,

Or did you want to leave some sign
To your children?" "Of course" I replied; Hermes
Came to us, the minister of Zeus; to him

I spoke thus: "O lord of the seven-toned lyre,
Indeed by the blessed goddess
I get no pleasure from being raised too much into happiness,

But some desire to die possesses me,
And to see the dewy, lotus-covered
Banks of Acheron …

And to go down to Hades' home, and to see
The dead I crave …
… nobody …



67: I really wish I were dead

«I will never see Atthis,
And I truly wish I were dead».
And crying a lot she was leaving

Me, and told me this:
«Alas, what terrible things we've suffered,
O Sappho: unwilling indeed I leave you»

To her I replied thus:
«Leave with joy, and of me
Remember: for you know we cared for you.

If not, then I want you
To remember (which you will forget)
What dear and beautiful things we have experienced;

For many a garland of violets
And of roses and crocuses likewise
You would put round your head beside me,

And many woven
Necklaces garlands round your tender neck,
Made of dear flowers,

And with much perfume, costly
And regal, your beautiful hair
You generously anointed,

And on soft mattresses
By your tender addentants
You satisfied your longing for young women

And there never was hill nor
Temple nor spring of water
From which we kept away

Nor by springtime did noise
Fill any wood,
But our sweet singing».

The black nuptial chamber of Persephone received;
Once she had died, all the girls of her age

Having a tireless voice placed before [my] feet·

Daughter of Hermoclides son of Saunaiadas,
You attendant, o queen of women: take pleasure in her
And, gracious, honour our family.

οἶον τὸ γλυκύμαλον ἐρεύθεται ἄκρῳ ἐπ’ ὔσδῳ,
ἄκρον ἐπ’ ἀκροτάτῳ, λελάθοντο δὲ μαλοδρόπηες·
οὐ μὰν ἐκλελάθοντ’, ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐδύναντ’ ἐπίκεσθαι…

τὸν νυμφίον τε Ἀχιλλεῖ παρομοιῶσαι καὶ εἰς ταὐτὸν

Group 1:
Heart-shaking love
Jūdan ichi:
Kokoro yuru
Koi no sê de wa

1: To Cypris

How would anyone not be consumed,
O Cypris, queen, for the one she indeed loves,
And not want above all to be freed of the pains?
How can you stand

The way idly you tear me apart with heartquakes
And craving that has melted my knees, o my queen,
So many times? You were at first wholly not hateful to me,
Don't you lock

Me up now. […] I want […
…] to endure this […
…] and for myself
I know this.




2: Two thoughts

I don't know what to say: two are my thoughts.

2: Two thoughts

Dentro nel mio cuor,
Indicibile per me,
Coppia di pensieri c'è.

Deep within my heart,
Both unspeakable, there are
Two thoughts very far apart.

3: Oh sweet mother

Sweet mother, I can indeed no longer weave my web,
Being overcome with desire of a boy because
                                            [of tender Aphrodite.


4: Love shook my heart

                 Love shook my
Heart, like a wind that has fallen unto oaks down a mountain.

5: Bittersweet love

Body-melting love shakes me again,
A bittersweet invincible beast.
Atthis, it has become hateful to you
To give heed to me, and to Andromeda you fly away.


6: O Atthis!

Atthis, Anactoria, who is dear to both you and me,
Dwells in far-away Sardis,
Often turning her mind hither      3

[And to] how we used to live: with certainty she believed
You to be equal to a known
Goddess, and enjoyed your singing very much;      6

Now shines she among Lydian
Women as, after sunset,
Does the rosy-fingered moon,      9

Outshining all the stars, and directs [her] light
To the briny sea
And equally to the multiflowered countryside,      12

And beautiful dew has poured down, and there have bloomed
Roses, and tender chervils,
And the flower-like melilot;      15

And wandering a lot, remembering
Of gentle Atthis, with desire
[She] devours [her] delicate mind, and [her] heart with longing,      18

And shrill are her cries for us to come there; which are not
Unheard for us, for the many-eared night
Speaks them [to us] across the straits of the sea.      21

It is not easy for us to be equal
To goddesses in lovely beauty,
Even if you have an Adonis-like body,      24

… through the air
And … Aphrodite
Poured nectar from a golden pitcher      27

To us too…
… Peitho with [her] hands
…      30



… to the Geræstium      33

… dear
… nothing unheard of…
I/we will come to the temple      33


7: Ode to Anactoria

That man to me seems equal
To the gods, who sits before thee,
And, close [to you], listens [to you]
Sweetly speaking,

And charmingly smiling. Which truly
Shakes [my] heart in [my] chest.
Indeed, once I've seen you shortly,
No more voice comes to me,

But my tongue is snapped, a thin
Flame has immediately sneaked under my body,
With [my] eyes I see nothing,
[My] ears buzz,

Sweat pours down from me, tremor
Seizes [me] wholly, paler than grass
I am, and to myself I seem
Not far from dying⌞·

8: I beseech you, Gongyla

Now, my dear, I truly beseech you: take
Your milky-white robe, oh Gongyla,
And make your appearance: again Desire itself
Flutters around you,

The beautiful one; for that dress
Shakes me up when I see it, and I rejoice:
Indeed the Cyprus-Goddess herself
Blames this of you;

I pray her…
This word…
I want…
… ]


9: Ode to a beautiful woman

[……………………
……………………
…] suffered for love
……

For when I see you before [me],
Then Hermione [herself] seems to not have been
Such [a beauty] to me, and comparing you to blonde Helen
[Seems] not at all unseemly,

If it's allowed of mortals; know this, that to your
Beauty, of all my cares
I would make a sacrifice, and worth all
My desires I believe you.

To Acheron's dewy banks
I would go if you died, your fame'
I will increase as much as I can, and I crave
To spend a whole night with you.


10: Dearest offspring of Uranus and Gaia

(a)

Some say it's a platoon of infantry, others that it's one of chivalry,
Others that it's a fleet that over this black earth
Is the most beautiful thing; I say that it's whatever
One loves.

It's entirely easy to make everyone
Understand this, for Helen, who had [next to her]
A lot of human beauty, her husband,
Best of all men,

Left, and sailed off to Troy,
And didn't remember her child or her dear parents
At all, but, not even unwilling,
Was led away

By Cypris: for she has unbending will,
And easily fulfils whatever she thinks of.
Thus I now remembered Anactoria,
Who is not present.

Her beloved footfall I would like to see,
And the bright sparkle of her face,
Rather than the chariots of the Lydians, and [Lydians]
Fighting by land in their shields.

(b)

It's not possible for happiness to wholly
Happen to men, but [they] can pray to have
A share of good luck. And I for myself
Know this.

[Stanzas may have been lost.]

… happen
… having walked to the summit
… snow; and she often
Towards…[

As… I/they was/were led away
… can; for those
Whom I treat well, those harm me the most
Out of the blue.


11: Kleis

I have a beautiful child, similar in beauty
To golden flowers, my beloved Kleis.
In exchange for her I wouldn't take all of Lydia
Nor dear Lesbos

14: Idyll with Aphrodite

[Come] hither to me from Crete to this holy
Temple, where there is a truly graceful grove
Of apple trees, and there are altars burning
With incense;

In the grove, cool water flows through the boughs
Of the apple trees, and by roses the whole place
Is shaded, and from the rustling leaves
Deep sleep falls down;

And a horse-nourishing meadow has bloomed
With spring flowers, and the winds
Honey-sweetly blow, coming down
From the heads of the plants.

Pick up some chaplets and come, Cypris,
Gently pouring into golden goblets
The nectar that for [our] feasts
Was mixed as wine.


15: Handcloths

Tonight you sat me down,
O golden-garlanded Aphrodite,'
In [my] dream braiding of your immortal

Head the divine hair,
And hanging down from your hair,
Purple handcloths, which Timas

Sent you from Phocæa,
Precious gifts [hanging] down from you hair.


16: Hymn to Aphrodite

Ornate-throned immortal Aphrodite,
Wile-weaving daughter of Zeus, I beg you:
Do not overpower with ache and anguish,
O queen, my heart,

But come here, if ever in other times,
Hearing my voice from far away,
You listened, and leaving [your] father's golden
House, you came,

Yoking [your] cart, and rapid pretty
Sparrows led you over black earth,
Frequently flapping [their] wings, from the sky
Through the middle of the ether,,

And quickly they arrived; and you, o Blessed one,
A smile on [your] immortal face,
Asked what I'd suffered again, and why
I was invoking [you] again,

And what I wanted the most to happen to me,
Crazy at heart: «Whom again should I persuade
To lead you to your love as well? Who,
o Sappho, is wronging you?

Indeed if she flees, she will soon chase [you],
If she doesn't take [your] gifts, she'll give [her own],
If she doesn't love [you], she will soon,
Even if she doesn't want to».

Come to me now as well, and set me free
From oppressive anxieties, and what my heart craves
To see happen to me, make it happen; and you yourself
Be my ally.


17: Queen Hera
Let your graceful, roaring feast,
Queen Hera, be brought around me,
Which the songs of Atreus, the kings,
Prayed for,

Having completed great deeds
First around Troy, then
Having set sail hither; they could not find
Their way

Before seeking you and Zeus god of the suppliants,
And the lovely son of Thyne.
Now we too, following the old [tradition],
Make these majestic, holy,

And beautiful [rites] for you; a cowd
Of maidens and praying women makes its way hither:
They want to, packed tightly around your altar,
Measuredly cry aloud.

]

… to be …
(come to the temple?)


18: On celebrating a feast


They call unto…
Totally; Don't you have a way that I could,
O mother, perform

A shining feast at the [proper] time? That is
A joy to those who live but a day; may it happen
To me to be cheerful, until the gods grant us
To hear the sound

Of the harps; this…
… than now…
…giving…
…made;

. . . . .

… ready …
… fulfil that

… I totally …

Group 4: Wedding songs
Jūdan yon:
Konrê no uta

19: Hector and Andromacha

Cyprus…   ̣[         22-24 letters    ]αι  ̣
The messenger came running, pushed forth by the might of [his] legs,
The speedy messenger of Ida, bearing these tidings:
«[One ore more lines are missing, the last of which
Probably ended with      Of Troy]
And of the rest of Asia these things were the undecaying glory;
Hector and his companions are leading
From sacred Thebes and ever-flowing Placia
The quick-glancing tender Andromacha by ship over the briny
Sea; and many golden bracelets, and purple
Robes, and beautiful flower embroideries, motley adornments,
And countless silver wine-cups, and ivory.
Thus spoke he; and readily dear father leapt up;
And the news went through the spacious city to [his] loved ones;
At once the sons of Ilium to the well-running chariots
Yoked the mules; and the whole crowd came
Of women and of tender-ankled maidens;
Separately went the daughters of Priam,
And the men yoked the horses to the chariots, and together there
All the unmarried men, and far and wide went the great [went
People, and the charioteers led the excelling foals
With white patches outside the dear city then.
Everyone says that some lines are missing here.
When once again on the carriages there went the god-like
Hector and Andromacha, then all together
The people of Troy went to set out to sacred Ilium.
And the sweet-sounding flute and the cithara mixed together
With the sound of castanets, and clear-tonedly the maidens
Sang a sacred song, and to the air there went
A divinely sweet echo, laughter …
And everywhere in the streets there was …
Bowls and cups …
Myrrh and cassia and incense [the fire] accepted [within itself].̣
And all the elder women cried aloud,
And all the men cried out a delightful high-pitched
Pæana, calling unto the far-darting sweet-lyred [Apollo],
To sing of Hector and Andromacha, the god-like ones.
The second time where I said «Missing lines here»,
Perhaps another poem by Sappho started there.

May maidens before these doors,
Staying up all night, very happy bridegroom,
Sing the love of you and of
The violet-bosomed bride.

But wake up, fetch those of your age,
And set off, so that we may see
Even less sleep that the sweet-voiced
Bird will.


22: Hymenæum

Up high the roof,
Hymenæum,
Raise ye, o carpenters:
Hymenæum,
The groom is equal to Ares,
Hymenæum,
Much larger than a large man,
Hymenæum,
Superior, like the Lesbian
Hymenæum,
Singer to those of foreign lands.
Hymenæum.


13: Like the sweet apple

Sappho used to compare the bride to an apple:

As the sweet apple blushes on the high branch,
High on the highest [branch], and the pluckers forget it:
Indeed they don't forget, but can't reach [it]…

[She used] to like the groom to Achilles,
and put the young man on par with the hero in his achievements.



14: Like the hyatyncth

Like the hyacinth on the mountains is treaded on
By the feet of the shepherds, and the purple flower on the ground...


15: Happy bridegroom

Happy bridegroom, to you the wedding that you yearned for
Has been fulfilled, and you have the maiden you yearned for.
You have graceful looks, o bride, and honey-sweet
Eyes, and love has been poured on your lovable face:
With these evident things Aphrodite has exceedingly honored you.

Not being able to pull her robe above her ankles?

29: Stand before me

And Sappho says to the one who is excessively
Admired for his looks and considered
handsome:


Stand thou here and before me, [as a] friend,
And spread out the grace in [your] eyes.


30: Dead shalt thou lie

Dead shalt thou lie, and never memory
Of thee will be until the end, for thou
Hast no share in the roses of Pieria,
But having flown 'midst lightless dead souls, thou,
Even in Hades' house uncouth, shalt wander.


31: Someone will remember

I say that even till the end someone will remember us.


32: Against Andromeda

…peaceful…
…having received from ægis-bearing Zeus…
…Cytherea, succour me as I pray [to you]…
…having a gracious heart…
…hear my prayers, if even in another time…
…having left Cyprus…
…you came to my cry…
…by painful solicitude…
[Three lost lines]


From the blessed gods … having obtained …
May you wish to cut off this calamity as well for me, you of all
The goddess with the most astute heart, oh, fulfil my wish:
You indeed loved [me] and used to grant everything for which I invoked
Now due to this defend me once more according to my wish! [[you],
«This cause is not unbecoming», said [she], «and what you wish to obtain
Is not at all much to get, for even Andromeda cannot      7
Overtly fight me, and what she did confiding in a voluptuous lifestyle
Is not [possible] to forget for the gods; and indeed you know well
That Nemesis strikes the one who is familiar with evil, and prevails over
Sappho, loving you the venerable queen of Cyprus fit wheels [everyone».
To [her] carriages, and for you she quickly went to entreat Zeus,
And a great gift the son of Cronus nodded assent for her to grant to you:
To all those whom the shining Sun surrounds with [its] beams,
Everywhere [your] noble fame [will arrive ?] …
And you on Acheron's [banks ?] …

[6 lost lines]


33: About her exile

… for out of my land
A conflict suddenly chased me … however the memory
Was not … but … equal to the gods.
Now though I'm roused against the culprit of these griefs
And vexations, and with the pains will Artemis the blessed one,
Who rules from above, lead elderly Andromeda under [her] cart,
And she will be ashamed of her character, not gentle, but stubborn,
For no-one halted the arrogance in her, [so she] doesn't hold back [her] insolence.
She/One could indeed quickly offer a herd of lambs to the sons of Tyndar,
[And] enjoy the peace of music in in a graceful
Delightful place of dance, ah, if honest no longer …
[With?] Megara the mild having taken [her] clear-toned harp,
… possible to them …
… to everyone …



34: Against the Polyanactids

… after a short while …
… the Polyanactids …
… to the Samian women …
Make to resonate in the plectrum-welcoming
Strings, firendlily banqueting
With such people,
The harp is made to vibrate gently,
And, sweet-voiced, through the bones
It slithers, and once it's in, runs through the marrow.


35: To Apollo

Son of Leto and Zeus,
… come to the feast,
Leaving woody Grynea
And your famous oracle

I want to put the glutton on display.

Cypris, may she find you very bitter,

Saying that she came to a desired love
A second time.

37: To the Nereids

Queen Nereids, grant me
That my brother may come here unscathed,
And whatever he may wish in his heart,
Fulfil it;

[Let him] make amend for all his past mistake,
And be a joy for his friends
And a grief for his enemies; and for us
May nobody ever be one;

And may he wish to make his sister
More greatly honored, and may he free
From mournful grievances those, whose hearts
He formerly crushed with his

Mourning, hearing a reproach, which used to devour
Even us in [my] flesh because of the citizens' blame,
As ever, not differently, but he realized it
Not at all after long,

And even more [will he understand] if he learns
What fame is like among mortals; and you, queen Cypris,
Burying up an unbearable offense,
Be persuaded by us.


38: Prayer to avert stormy journeys

. . . . . . . . . .
… you persuaded, o blessed one,
… brightness and
. . . . .

… with good luck
… to reach a harbor
… black earth
[. . . . .

In violent storms, sailors,
Fearing for the great winds,
Throw away their cargo, and towards land
They steer the ship;

May I above all not set sail from anywhere
When a storm has arisen, nor throw
All the cargo I had into the deep sea, whether precious
Or worthless;

If Nereus, in his flowing pageant
In the sea, should happen to receive my
Cargo, I pray him to let it come to me
As quick as possible.

… works

39: Brothers poem

«We have indeed suffered much, but may there come
Charaxus to us now with a full ship!»:
Indeed we suffer much still now, and the pain
Has reached you, wet nurse,

But you always chatter for Charaxus to come
With a full ship, which, I believe, Zeus
And all the gods know, but you needn't
Think about that,

But rather send me [out], and pray me
Tu pray queen Hera a lot
So that Charaxus may come here steering
A safe and sound ship,

And find us safe and sound; All
The rest, let us entrust to the gods:
For fair weather from great winds
Are quickly born;

And those whom the king of Olympus wants
A helper god to lead out
Of suffering, those remain blessed
And full of joy.

And we, if Larichus raises
His head, and sometime becomes a real man,
Would be set free even
From [our] great heaviness of heart.


40: To Charaxus
Version 1

. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
… give.

If you fly to renowned men
And not handsome and good ones, and say goodbye
To your loved ones, and pain me, saying that I
Have become your reproach,

Swollen in your heart, may your satisfy
Your heart with such things, and be satiated; for my thought
Does not easily yield to the rage
Of children;

But err not: a trap
Won't catch old birds; I know you,
To how much evilness you previously set forth,
And what foe

I'm up against. Therefore, thinking about better things,
Change your thoughts; for, since I've nurtured
An easily-satisfied mind, I know with certainty that
Are on my side.                          [the blessed [gods]


Version 2

. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
You might find it wise to not
Return my favor.

You keep away the lovers of words
Noble and beautiful, born for the seven-toned
Lyres, and pain me, and hurl
Reproach at me.

Perhaps all swollen up in this reproach, with the outrage
Satiate your heart, for my thought
Is not so easily affected
By your rage.

Group 7:
Nostalgia for youth
Jūdan shichi:

41: For you were also a tender child

. . . . . . . . . .




For you also once were a tender child
And loved to sing: come, tell yourself
All these things, and from that heart
Generously gratify us;

For we're going to a wedding; and well and clearly
You also see this; but as fast as possible
Send away all the maidens, and may the gods
Find no dishonour.

The road to great Olympus is untrodden
… for man …
[................
................]


42: O tender women

To them I said: «Tender women,
Such things as will be remembered near old age,
We too indeed in out bright youths
Have done them.

Many things indeed both beautiful and good we worked out
Back then; and to me, as I saw
You'd left the city, desire
Bit the heart

With sharp griefs.


43: If I still had milk

If my teats still had a share
Of milk, or my womb was still fit
For child-making, then with untrembling feet
I would go to another

Bed; but now already old age
Surrounds my body with a myriad wrinkles,
And Eros the pain-giver no longer
Flies toward me;

… of the noble …
… taking
The sweet-voiced harp, sing to us
Of the violet-bosomed one.

… above all of loves
… as long as (s)he wanders




44: Gifts of the Muses

Hasten ye toward the beautiful gifts of the violet-bosomed Muses,
Oh children, and [toward] the song-loving clear-toned lyre;
My once-tender body old age already
Has seized, and [my] hair, from black, has turned white,
And my heart has turned heavy, and my knees support me no longer,
Which were once as nimble in dancing as the fawns.
I often lament these things, but what could I ever do?
It's impossible for him who is human to become ageless.
Indeed once they said that rosy-fingered Dawn, because of love,
Climbed onto the bowl [of Helios], bringing Tithonus to the ends of
When he was handsome and young, but still grey old age,   [the Earth,
In time, seized him, who had an immortal wife.

May progress be given to the better mouth.

46: May there now be festivity

Version 1
… not …
… I pray …
May there now be festivity …
And underground may [] have
The great glory of the Muses, having gifts as is becoming.
And everywhere] they would marvel at me while, as I am on earth,
They call [me] a clear-toned swallow if, having taken the harp,
Or the barbiton or that lyre, I sing to wedding beds.

Version 2
… not …
… I pray …
For me and my companions may there now be festivity,
And after, grown old, I die and end up underground,
Though I will keep the noble privilege of the servants of the Muses, as is
They would not marvel at me as they do now as I'm on earth;    [befitting,
Let [my] clear-toned song shine if, having taken the harp,
For my loved ones …, o Muse, I should sing beautiful things.


47: To her lyre

Come indeed, divine lyre, to me
Start now to speak.

49: To Dica

But Sappho expresses more simply the reason for our practice of wearing garlands when she says:

But you, o Dica, put lovely garlands around your hair,
Having bound stems of anise together with your tender hands;
For it happens that even the blessed Graces had rather see
Flowery things, and turn away from the ungarlanded.


50: On summer

Wet your lung with wine, for the star is coming round,
The hour is harsh, everything is in thirst under the burning heat,
There sings from the leaves the sweet cicada, and from below the wings
It constantly pours down a clear song, when the fiery
Summer, having flown down to earth, dries everything up.
There blooms the artichoke; now women are at their ugliest,
But men are feeble, for Sirius their heads and knees
Parches.


51: To Mica

… nor is it licit for you, Mica,
… to laugh, but I will not let you
… you chose the friendship of the women of the house of Penthilus
… this, o wily one, has bitten our hearts,
For to those, not to us, you gift a sweet song,
But now there has formed a sweet-sounding harmony of breezes:
It is not indeed the flute singing this, but the shrill winds.


52: No lament is allowed

It is not licit for there to be in the house of those who serve the Muses
An unending mourning, Kleis: nor would such a thing become us.


53: He who's fair

He who is fair remains fair [only] to be seen,
He who is also good, will immediately also be fair.


54: Money without virtue

Money, not when it is alone by itself, but being also
embellished by virtue, opportunely enjoys the benefits of its own
and those of virtue, and has a wise concern for pursuing good things.
For each of these two on its own is not sweet:



Money without virtue is not a safe neighbour;
In the use of both lies the height of happiness.


55: I have a gentle mind

… for I am not one of those spiteful
with rage, but have a gentle mind. …


56: Idle-barking tongue

As anger spreads through [your] chest,
Guard ye your idly-barking tongue.

64: Forever a maiden I will be


To golden-haired Phoebus, whom the daughter of Coeus bore,
Having mingled with the great-named son of Cronus,
Artemis swore the gods' great oath:    [god of the high clouds,
«Yea, by your head, I will forever be a maiden
Unwed, hunting on the tops of the lonely
Mountains: come, grant this for my sake».
Thus spoke [she]; and the father of the blessed gods granted it,
And both gods and men call her by the great title
Of virgin, deer shooter, huntress.
To her body-melting Eros never goes near.



65: There dieth, Cytherea

There dieth, o Cytherea, delicate Adonis; what shall we do?
Beat your breasts, girls, and rend your clothes.

And Gongyla said: "You could never know this,

Or did you want to leave some sign
To your children?" "Of course" I replied; Hermes
Came to us, the minister of Zeus; to him

I spoke thus: "O lord of the seven-toned lyre,
Indeed by the blessed goddess
I get no pleasure from being raised too much into happiness,

But some desire to die possesses me,
And to see the dewy, lotus-covered
Banks of Acheron …

And to go down to Hades' home, and to see
The dead I crave …
… nobody …


67: I really wish I were dead

«I will never see Atthis,
And I truly wish I were dead».
And crying a lot she was leaving

Me, and told me this:
«Alas, what terrible things we've suffered,
O Sappho: unwilling indeed I leave you»

To her I replied thus:
«Leave with joy, and of me
Remember: for you know we cared for you.

If not, then I want you
To remember (which you will forget)
What dear and beautiful things we have experienced;

For many a garland of violets
And of roses and crocuses likewise
You would put round your head beside me,

And many woven
Necklaces garlands round your tender neck,
Made of dear flowers,

And with much perfume, costly
And regal, your beautiful hair
You generously anointed,

And on soft mattresses
By your tender addentants
You satisfied your longing for young women

And there never was hill nor
Temple nor spring of water
From which we kept away

Nor by springtime did noise
Fill any wood,
But our sweet singing».

68: Epigram of TImas

This is the ash of Timas, whom, dead before [her] wedding
The black nuptial chamber of Persephone received;
Once she had died, all the girls of her age
With freshly-sharpened blade cut the hair off [their] head.


69: Epigram of Pelagon

To Pelagon the fisher his father, Meniscus, has gifted
Basket and oar, memorials of a sorry life.


70: Offering to Artemis

Maidens, though I have no voice, I declare this to whoever asks,
Having a tireless voice placed before [my] feet·
To Aethopia, daughter of Leto, Arista dedicated me,
Daughter of Hermoclides son of Saunaiadas,
You attendant, o queen of women: take pleasure in her
And, gracious, honour our family.
