長歌でのサッフォー Chôka de 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; also, speaking of amended text, 31/3/26 10:13 I thought of switching from hayaku to nidoto, but that only applies to the uncorrected version, and the corrected version cannot get the change, so I'll just mention it here and leave it at this; but then I try to stretch "again" into a whole line, and come up with この次にどと, which Google doesn't appreciate, but with its help I decide on 今は再び (1/4/26 16:52);
  2. [C]"Two thoughts" (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]"Latona and Niobe" (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]"On 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. "The moon has set" (Campbell 168B):
    • [M]Version 1; 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;
    • [M]Version 2; I got started on this 4/2/25 15:58 with «Taiin wa / Umi ni shizunda, / Subaru», then left it at that, not knowing how to continue; I completed l. 3 of the translation 9/2/25 9:31 by figuring out 昴星 bôsê as a synonym for subaru; and to think I was looking for "Subaru-boshi" or something like that :); I then complete the translation 16/3/26 16:51:2x-16:53:0x, recovering the last three lines;
  10. [M]"Perform with a better voice", formerly "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; I then completely overhauled the text on the basis of a long commentary I read on this fragmend, and retranslated it on 24/6/24 at 0:54-1:34, with a couple more thoughts at 1:57, 2:22, 2:33;
  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 her lyre" (LP 118); 27/10/23 19:20;
  15. [M]"You have 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]"On 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;
  18. [M]"Rustic woman" (LP 57); 30/10/23 0:12-0:37;
  19. [C]"Oh sweet mother" (LP 102); having some time to kill, on 6/3/25 at 19:33-19:39 I get to before "because of this", then do that line in many variants (このわけで 19:40:>30, これだから->そうだから->このままで 19:41:<30); I then change motto to the present totemo at 21:29, recapping everything at 21:32; on 7/3/25, I finish the job at 21:34-21:37; I have doubts on how to translate "weave my web", hence this question, answering which Takashi submits his corrected version at 14:33:56 on 9/3/25;
  20. [U]LP 96:
    1. "To Arignota" (7 tercets), U;
    2. [M]"Divine beauty is not easy for us to attain" (rest); 6/5/25 19:24 I randomly do the Peitho part, so from Pētō wa to hoshikatta; guess I had some time to kill; then as I did have some time before dinner, 8/5/25 19:38-19:55 I do the beginning up to hitteki suru sa/yo; I then finish the job 16/3/26 16:56:4x-17:30:1x, with shinpan being corrected to hinpan only at ≤16:59 on 17/3/26;

1: To Cypris

How would anyone not be consumed,
O Cypris, queen? Whomever you truly love,
Even when he above all wishes to burst into tears,
You do not hold him back.

How can you strike me then idly tear me apart
With craving that has melted my knees, o greatest ones?
So many times you were at first wholly not hateful to me,
And, I say, you didn't keep

Away from me; I want to be able
To no longer thus endure this! Stop the storm
Of [my] thoughts! And for myself
I know

That it could never be possible for mortals
To be fully happy; for one person to be
With me I crave indeed […
…]

2: Two thoughts

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

Deep within my heart,

Two thoughts very far apart.

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.



6a: To Arignota

[Dear Anactoria is far away,
Often turning [her gentle] mind
[From] Sardis [to you] hither      3

[And] how we used to live: with certainty she believed
You to be equal to a goddes, o
Arignota, 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



6b: Divine beauty is not easy for us to attain

It is not easy for us to be equal
To goddesses in lovely beauty,
You have Adonis-like beauty,      24

Better, in fact! … to man what more
Is granted? Through the air
And … Aphrodite      27

Poured nectar from a golden pitcher
To us too…
Indeed far from the border. Peitho with [her] tender hands      30

… wished
… often
…      33

… to the Geræstium
… dear
… It is not at all unheard of      33

That I myself will come to the temple

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,

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

But everything must be dared, for the inactive,
O Sappho, you should reproach like the poor:
Thus kings and thriving cities
Are destroyed·



Group 2: Beauty
Jūdan ni:
Utsukushisa

8: I beseech you, Gongyla

My version

Hither, my dear, I beseech you: take
Your milky-white robe, oh Gongyla,
And make your appearance: again such great desire
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…
… ]

Version of Tedeschi and me

Hither, my dear: I beseech you to sing
Of Gongyla, oh Abanthis, taking your sweet
Harp, while again such great desire
Flutters around you,

The beautiful one; for [your] dress
Shook her up when she saw it, and I rejoice:
Indeed the Cyprus-Goddess herself once
Blamed this of you two;

As I pray…
This word…
I want…
… ]



9: Ode to a beautiful woman

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

For when I see you before [me],
It seems to me that even Hermione is not
Such [a beauty], and comparing you to blonde Helen
[Seems] not at all unseemly,

As far as is allowed of mortals; know this in your
Heart: to the storms
Of all my anxieties I bring a remedy, and all
My desires to you.

To Acheron's dewy lotus-flowered banks
I would go if you died, forever I will praise you
In every way possible to me, and I really wish
For us to spend a whole night together.



10a: Dearest offspring of Uranus and Gaia

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.



10b: Men cannot be fully happy

It is not possible for men
To become fully happy, but [they] can pray to have
A share of good luck. And I for myself
Know this.

10c: Dearest offspring of Uranus and Gaia

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 wanting that,
Was led away

By Cypris: for she leads my bending mind,
Astray whenever she wishes to lightly wound me.
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.

It is not possible for a man
To fully have his wish, but pray to have
A share of good, that has been granted [to him]. And I for myself
Know this.

To golden flowers, my beloved Kleis.
In exchange for her I wouldn't take all of Lydia

14: Idyll with Aphrodite

Appear hither to me from Crete to this holy
Abode, 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 as the leaves rustle
Deep sleep takes [us];

And a horse-nourishing meadow has bloomed
With spring flowers, and the winds
Honey-sweetly blow toward us coming down
From the sky.

Here willingly grant to me, Cypris,
To pour into golden cups
The nectar gracefully mixed
WIth festive joy.



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 your 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…
Do you not have a way at all 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 harp

And the lyre; this…
… more unharmedly than now…
…giving…
…made;

…him who…
…sat…
… ready …
… fulfil that

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.

Indeed I pray for this] night
To become twice as long for me.]

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.



23: 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.




24: 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...



25: 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.

Admired for his looks and considered

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.

…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 ?] …

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].
She/One could indeed quickly offer a herd of lambs to the sons [insolence
[And] enjoy the peace of music in in a graceful              [of Tyndar,
Delightful place of dance, ah, if honest no longer …
And to see Megara the mild with [her] clear-toned harp,
It would be possible to them …
… they all …




34: Against the Polyanactids




… after a short while …

… the Polyanactids …
… to the Samian women …
Make to resonate in the plectrum-welcoming
Strings, banqueting

Friendlily 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.

Leaving woody Grynea

May Doricha not be loud-spoken
Saying that she came to a desired love
A second time.

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 could have struck
Even us in the 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.

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

«I truly hope Charaxus to us
With a full ship may come»: it would be
More appropriate of you to hope to see him
With a safe ship, 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

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]

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.

. . . . . . . . . .




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

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

Edmonds version

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



Tedeschi-Edmonds-Gorini version

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

Old age already withers up all my skin,
And grief surrounds my mind,
And pain-giving desire flies
Chasing me;

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

… above all of the blessed (gods?)
… (s)he wanders over the Earth





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, leaving the
For love, went bringing Tithonus to the ends of the Earth, [reins
When he was handsome and young, but still grey old age,
In time, seized him, who had an immortal wife.

May there now be festivity …
And underground may [] have
The great glory of the Muses, having gifts as is becoming.

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 I should be stirred, and, o Muse, 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 lungs 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 summer,
Fiery in its sun's heat, 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 at us, 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. …

I do not believe that any maiden who has seen
The light of the sun will, at any time, be
So skilful.

59: Coming down from the sky

Sappho is said to have been the first to mention a chlamys, when she said [this] about Eros:

[In a dream, I myself saw Eros once,]
Having come down from the sky, clad in a purple chlamys.



60: On Leda

They say that indeed Leda once found
An egg covered by flowers
Of hyacinth.

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.



Group 11:
But a certain wish to die
possesses me
Jūdan jūichi:

66: There came Hermes

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



For long…
And Gongyla said: "You could never know this,

Or did you see some sign
With your eyes?" "Of course" I said; Hermes
Came to us, the minister of Zeus; to him

I spoke thus: "O lord of the seven-toned lyre,
Indeed by the blessed one I
Get no pleasure from being seized by anxieties,

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

And to go down to Hades' home …

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
To remind you the flowers and declare [to you]
What lovely and beautiful things we have experienced;

For many a garland of violets
And of roses and crocuses likewise
You placed down along your locks beside me,

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

And your whole body with perfume
Costly, and your hair with rose essence,
Regal essence, you anointed,

And on soft delicate
Beds, beside tender roses,
You gently satisfied the longing of young women,

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

Nor by springtime did the noise
Of clappers neglect any wood,
Nor [our] daily singing».



Group 12: Epigrams
Jūdan jūni:
Mittsu no kêku

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.

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? Whomever you truly love,
Even when he above all wishes to burst into tears,
You do not hold him back.

How can you strike me then idly tear me apart
With craving that has melted my knees, o greatest ones?
So many times you were at first wholly not hateful to me,
And, I say, you didn't keep

Away from me; I want to be able
To no longer thus endure this! Stop the storm
Of [my] thoughts! And for myself
I know well

That it could never be possible for mortals
To be fully happy; for one person to be
With me I crave indeed […
…]

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.


2: Omoi ga futatsu

Kokoro ni wa
Kotoba ni dekinu
Omoi ga futatsu.


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.


3: Hahagimi yo

4: Love shook my heart

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


4: Wa ga kokoro yuru

Yamagami no
Kashiwa ni tsuyoku
Uchitsukuru
Kaze no gotoki ni
Wa ga kokoro yuru.


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.


6a: To Arignota

[Dear Anactoria is far away,
Often turning [her gentle] mind
[From] Sardis [to you] hither      3

[And to] how we used to live: with certainty she believed
You to be equal to a goddes, o
Arignota, 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


6b: Divine beauty is not easy for us to attain

It is not easy for us to be equal
To goddesses in lovely beauty,
You have Adonis-like beauty,      24

Better, in fact! … to man what more
Is granted? Through the air
And … Aphrodite      27

Poured nectar from a golden pitcher
To us too…
Indeed far from the border. Peitho with [her] tender hands      30

… wished
… often
…      33

… to the Geræstium
… dear
… It is not at all unheard of      33

That I myself will come to the temple

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,

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

But everything must be dared, for the inactive,
O Sappho, you should reproach like the poor:
Thus kings and thriving cities
Are destroyed·

8: I beseech you, Gongyla

My version

Hither, my dear, I beseech you: take
Your milky-white robe, oh Gongyla,
And make your appearance: again such great desire
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…
… ]

Version of Tedeschi and me

Hither, my dear: I beseech you to sing
Of Gongyla, oh Abanthis, taking your sweet
Harp, while again such great desire
Flutters around you,

The beautiful one; for [your] dress
Shook her up when she saw it, and I rejoice:
Indeed the Cyprus-Goddess herself once
Blamed this of you two;

As I pray…
This word…
I want…
… ]


9: Ode to a beautiful woman

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

For when I see you before [me],
It seems to me that even Hermione is not
Such [a beauty], and comparing you to blonde Helen
[Seems] not at all unseemly,

As far as is allowed of mortals; know this in your
Heart: to the storms
Of all my anxieties I bring a remedy, and all
My desires to you.

To Acheron's dewy lotus-flowered banks
I would go if you died, forever I will praise you
In every way possible to me, and I really wish
For us to spend a whole night together.


10a: Dearest offspring of Uranus and Gaia

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.


10b: Men cannot be fully happy

It is not possible for men
To become fully happy, but [they] can pray to have
A share of good luck. And I for myself
Know this.

[Stanzas may have been lost.]

… happen

… snow; and she often
Towards…[

As… I/they was/were led away

Whom I treat well, those harm me the most
Out of the blue.


10c: Dearest offspring of Uranus and Gaia

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 wanting that,
Was led away

By Cypris: for she leads my bending mind,
Astray whenever she wishes to lightly wound me.
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.

It is not possible for a man
To fully have his wish, but pray to have
A share of good, that has been granted [to him]. And I for myself
Know this.


10d: Those I love most

[Stanzas may have been lost.]

… were then together
… as long as on the summit
… snow; and she often

As… -ly aversed

Whom I treat well, those harm me the most

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

Appear hither to me from Crete to this holy
Abode, 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 as the leaves rustle
Deep sleep takes [us];

And a horse-nourishing meadow has bloomed
With spring flowers, and the winds
Honey-sweetly blow toward us coming down
From the sky.

Here willingly grant to me, Cypris,
To pour into golden cups
The nectar gracefully mixed
WIth festive joy.


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 your 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…
Do you not have a way at all 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 harp

And the lyre; this…
… more unharmedly than now…
…giving…
…made;

…him who…
…sat…
… ready …
… fulfil that

… I totally …
… tongue …
… desperation …
… you should

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.


20: May you sleep

May you sleep in the bosom of a tender girlfriend .


Nemureru yô ni

21: Let's sing for the couple

[–u–x–uu–u–x
–u–x–uu–u–x
Indeed I pray for this] night
To become twice as long for me.]

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.

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 ?] …

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].
She/One could indeed quickly offer a herd of lambs to the sons [insolence
[And] enjoy the peace of music in in a graceful              [of Tyndar,
Delightful place of dance, ah, if honest no longer …
And to see Megara the mild with [her] clear-toned harp,
It would be possible to them …
… they all …



34: Against the Polyanactids




… after a short while …

… the Polyanactids …
… to the Samian women …
Make to resonate in the plectrum-welcoming
Strings, banqueting

Friendlily 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
… of feasts


… sing …
[And?] … sister …
Like a child …

No-one … want …
They show … again of the Polyanactids
I want to put the glutton on display.


36: Curse

… blessed one …
… [good for sailing ?]
… of the head and …


For what mistakes he made before, he made amends
… [may he reach
The [famous] harbor [with good] luck
… [O holy]

Cypris, may she find you very bitter,
May Doricha not be loud-spoken
Saying that she came to a desired love
A second time.



Group 6: Sappho
and her brother
Jūdan roku:
Saffō to ani

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 could have struck
Even us in the 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.

39: Brothers poem

«I truly hope Charaxus to us
With a full ship may come»: it would be
More appropriate of you to hope to see him
With a safe ship, 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:
Wakamono ni
Fukai kaikyū

41: You were also a tender young 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

Edmonds version

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



Tedeschi-Edmonds-Gorini version

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

Old age already withers up all my skin,
And grief surrounds my mind,
And pain-giving desire flies
Chasing me;

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

… above all of the blessed (gods?)
… (s)he wanders over the Earth




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, leaving the
For love, went bringing Tithonus to the ends of the Earth, [reins
When he was handsome and young, but still grey old age,
In time, seized him, who had an immortal wife.

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 I should be stirred, and, o Muse, sing beautiful things.


47: To her lyre

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


47: Raiā ni

48: To my friends

These things now I will sing
Beautifully, delighting my friends.

Group 9: To friends,

Jūdan kyū:
Tomodachi ni

chūkyoku to

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 lungs 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 when summer,
Fiery in its sun's heat, 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.


56: Iminaku sawagu    Sono shita wo

Haradachi de
Kokoro nietatsu
Sono toki wa,
Iminaku sawagu
Na ga shita wo
Ono ga kokoro de
Tomeshimuru beshi.


57: I don't expect

I don't expect touch the sky with two arms.


57: Matanai

Atakushi wa
Kono ni no ude de
Oozora wo
Todokifureau
Koto wo matanai.


58: No-one I believe will

I do not believe that any maiden who has seen
The light of the sun will, at any time, be
So skilful.



Group 10: Mythology
Jūdan jū:
Shinwa no hahen

59: Coming down from the sky

Sappho is said to have been the first to mention a chlamys, when she said [this] about Eros:

[In a dream, I myself saw Eros once,]
Having come down from the sky, clad in a purple chlamys.


60: On Leda

They say that indeed Leda once found
An egg covered by flowers
Of hyacinth.


60: Rēda ni tsuite

Hito wa sô iu:

62: Golden chickpeas

Golden chickpeas were born on the shore.


62: Ôgon no mame

Umibe nite
Umareta mame no
Iro wa ôgon.


63: Latona and Niobe

Even today free women and yonng girls
call their intimate and dear friends' companions '
like Sappho:


Leto and Niobe were very dear companions.


63: Rāto to    Niobā futari

Rātō to
Niobā futari
Aishi ai
Naka mutsumajiku
Kizuna wa fukaku.


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.



Group 11:
But a certain wish to die
possesses me
Jūdan jūichi:
Shibô wo nozomu

66: There came Hermes

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



For long…
And Gongyla said: "You could never know this,

Or did you see some sign
With your eyes?" "Of course" I said; Hermes
Came to us, the minister of Zeus; to him

I spoke thus: "O lord of the seven-toned lyre,
Indeed by the blessed one I
Get no pleasure from being seized by anxieties,

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

And to go down to Hades' home …

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
To remind you of the flowers and declare to you
What lovely and beautiful things we have experienced;

For many a garland of violets
And of roses and crocuses likewise
You put along your locks beside me,

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

And your whole body with perfume
Costly, and your hair with rose essence,
Regal essence, you anointed,

And on soft delicate
Beds, beside tender roses,
You tenderly satisfied the longings of young women,

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

Nor by springtime did the noise
Of clappers neglect any wood,
Nor [our] daily singing».



Group 12: Epigrams
Jūdan jūni:
Mittsu no kêku

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.

Gli Hakka devono avere canti propri

Orbene, oggi abbiamo una canzone Hakka, 摇滚吧!山歌, alias «Yâu-kwún pa! San-ko», alias «Roccheggiamo! Canzone popolare». Anche se per me sarebbe più sensato il titolo 客家人爱有自家个歌, alias «Hak-ka nyîn òi yìu tshìi-ka kè ko», alias «Gli Hakka devono avere canzoni proprie». Comunque, sentiamo IAFI:

18/6/22 18:11 I randomly think of this song and translate part of it to Italian, the first half of l. 2 going from «Se io canto,» to «A cantare» to «Nel mio canto» to the below form, and I fix "Beh?" to "Ué" at 0:31 on 23/6:
Il 18/6/22 alle 18:11 penso a caso a questa canzone e ne traduco un pezzo in Italiano, colla prima metà della seconda riga che va da «Se io canto,» a «A cantare» a «Nel mio canto» alla forma sotto, ed aggiusto "Beh?" a "Ué" alle 0:31 del 23/6:

Beh? Ma perché
Io cantando da solo sto?

On 9/8/22 in the evening, I think back to this, and, somewhere before 22:48, probably close to that, surely after 22:40, I start a continuation, and eventually I almost complete the below at 23:13, with changes coming in the next day at 12:08, 12:13, and 12:20-12:25, which is where I actually finish this thing. As I put this in here, 13/8/22 23:53, I change «Quanti sono che ancor le sanno cantar» to «Quanti son che ancora le sanno cantar?», and then at 0:30 on 9/11/22 to «Quanti sono che ancor le san cantar?».
la sera del 9/8/22, penso di nuovo a questa cosa, e, da qualche parte prima delle 22:48, probabilmente vicino a quell'ora, di sicuro dopo le 22:49, inizio una continuazione, e alla fine quasi completo la traduzione sotto alle 23:13, con cambiamenti che arrivano il giorno dopo alle 12:08, 12:13, e 12:20-12:25, ed in quest'ultimo range di orari finisco per davvero 'sta cosa. Mettendola qui il 13/8/22 alle 23:53, cambio «Quanti sono che ancor le sanno cantar» in «Quanti son che ancora le sanno cantar?», e poi alle 0:30 del 9/11/22 in «Quanti sono che ancor le san cantar?».
Però «Cantavi e la luna / Rideva "Ho-ho!".» è proprio sbagliato, quindi prima di registrare ne faccio un «Cantavi, ridendo, / Finché sorgeva la luna.» alle 12:13/14 del 18/11/23, e registrando ci metto lo yeah. L'altra cosa, «Io sto a cantare», anche se l'ho registrato, mi piace poco, perché non è italiano standard, quindi alle 15:02 l'ho cambiato in «Io vo' cantare» mentre tagiavo il video.
A sinistra la traduzione cantabile, a destra una letterale. Ben, vediamola!

Leone

Oggi abbiamo una canzone zulù che in un certo senso sicuramente conoscete tutti, ma in altro senso probabilmente non conosce pressoché nessuno. Ma che sto a di, direte voi. Beh, parliamo di Mbube, "Leone", appunto, e precisamente della versione originale di Solomon Linda. Ora, questa versione probabilmente non la conoscete. Però di questa canzone ci sono millanta riedizioni, e una parte della canzone, nientemeno che il pezzo ripetuto ad nauseam per quasi tutta la canzone, è stato storpiato dagli americani e infilato in In the jungle: è l'"Awimmawè", o meglio "Uyimbube", "È un leone". E anche l'introduzione di In the jungle è rubata a questa versione di Uyimbube, la trovate proprio in fondo. Per maggiori informazioni su questa canzone e le sue versioni, cfr. il mio post in merito sul blog di decifrazioni (in English).
Ma storie e versioni a parte, veniamo alla traduzione, Italiana. E ovviamente volgiamo subito lo sguardo a IAFI, dove questa traduzione si trova da oltre un anno ormai:

14/8/22 13:38 I randomly translate the chorus as «Leone / È un leon», then at 13:43 I add the "Ah". Upon putting this here, on 20/8/22 at 23:49 and 23:53, I first go with «Sempre, fratello, tu porti a noi buona sorte, sì!» for l. 1, then «Sempre, fratello, la buona sorte tu porti a noi!», and finally I think maybe everything should be subject "he/it", so «la buona sorte lui porta». At 23:57 I go back to subject "you", inspired by a translation of this version. Then, as I listen to the Solomon Linda version and render the double voices, at 0:00 I hear "uyimbube mama", and once again revert to subject "he". By 0:02, I think I've exhausted the possible versions of the chorus, save for the "iiii" one which gave rise to the famous tune in the Disney version. Well, aside from "Rit 3", which is a minor adaptation of "Rit 1" from 0:05. "Rit 4" is from 0:07. "Rit 5" is from 0:08. "Rit 6" is from 0:09. "Rit 3.5" is from 0:14, realizing I'd mistranscribed mentally. Ditto "Rit 3.75", from 0:18. Here's the result

Il 14/8/22 alle 13:38 traduco a caso il ritornello come «Leone / È un leon», poi alle 13:43 aggiungo l'"Ah". Mettendo qua 'sta roba, il 20/8/22 alle 23:49 e alle 23:53, prima vado di «Sempre, fratello, tu porti a noi buona sorte, sì!» per il v. 1, poi «Sempre, fratello, la buona sorte tu porti a noi!», e infine penso che magari tutto dovrebbe avere soggetto "lui/esso", quindi «la buona sorte lui porta». Alle 23:57 torno al soggetto "tu", ispirato da una traduzione di questa versione. Poi, ascoltando la versione di Solomon Linda [qui presa per originale] e rendendo le doppie voci, alle 0:00 sento "uyimbube mama", e di nuovo torno al soggetto "lui". Ora delle 0:02, penso di aver esaurito le possibili versioni del ritornello, salvo quella con "iiii" che ha dato origine alla famosa melodia della versione Disney [l'intro di cui sopra]. Beh, salvo il "Rit 3", alterazione minore del "Rit 1" tradotto alle 0:05. Il "Rit 4" è delle 0:07. Il "Rit 5" è delle 0:08. Il "Rit 6" è delle 0:09. Il "Rit 3.5" è delle 0:14, rendendomi conto di aver trascritto mentalmente sbagliando. Idem per il "Rit 3.75", delle 0:18. Ecco il risultato

Dopodiché c'è la versione dello spoiler sotto, seguita dal commento «Alright, the next two is just Wi wi wi and Mbube uyí. 2:31-end is probably "Ah mbube, ah mbube, ah mbube, ah mama!"» (OK, le prossime due sono solo Wi wi wi e Mbube uyi…, da 2:31 alla fine è probabilmente "Ah mbube, ah mbube, ah mbube, ah mama!").



Oh castro, mo' come lo produco il testo originale? Avrei dovuto farlo in IAFI… andiamo a riascoltare! Questo commento dovrebbe aiutarmi… Qualsiasi cosa renda "uyi" come "è…" è della notte del 6/11/23, data di abbozzamento di questo post. Due ritornelli sono appena fatti alle 0:59. Gli ultimi tre sono dell'1:12-1:14. E vediamo 'sta canzone :)!

Azzurro

Were you expecting a post in Italian? Well, too bad for you :). We have an Italian song translated to English, Azzurro. Let's hear IAFI!
On 16/6/23, after ditching the French, I try the same in English at 21:21, and by 21:25 the chorus is complete, then I continue and, by 21:42, I have verse 1 and the start of verse 2, with «It feels like when I was a churchboy,», which changes to the below form at 5:15 (yes, I couldn't catch sleep :) ) the following night. Shortly before lunch, at 13:21-13:22, I do verse 3. Over a longish time period which ends at 17:05 that day, I put together the following intertwining:



Due to this Hungarian translation (which I submitted because the current author never bothered to but then it was reattributed to the rightful author), at 16:42 on 18/6/23 I consider «Too sky-blue» instead of «Too azure», but Idk. Then, the same day, I do verse 2 at 19:17-19:22, posting the complete version to Lyricstranslate at 19:24. At 9:02 the next day I think of the "sky-blue" version of the second "azzurro", i.e. «The afternoon is too sky-blue / And lengthy for me». For now, I leave "azure", as per LT
The result of that is the below, modulo the tweaks «Use azure the first time and sky-blue the second» (30/9/23 10:51) and «I have no resources if you are / Not here with me» (13:14, formerly «That I am left without a resource / Here without thee»), the latter being post-recording.
Let's see this song!


Cerco l'estate tutto l'anno
E all'improvviso eccola qua
Lei è partita per le spiagge
E sono solo quassù in città
Sento fischiare sopra i tetti
Un aeroplano che se ne va

Rit.:
Azzurro
Il pomeriggio è troppo azzurro
E lungo per me
Mi accorgo
Di non avere più risorse
Senza di te
E allora
Io quasi quasi prendo il treno
E vengo, vengo da te
Il treno dei desideri
Nei miei pensieri all'incontrario va

Sembra quand'ero all'oratorio
Con tanto sole, tanti anni fa
Quelle domeniche da solo
In un cortile, a passeggiar
Ora mi annoio più di allora
Neanche un prete per chiacchierar

Rit.

Cerco un po' d'Africa in giardino
Tra l'oleandro e il baobab
Come facevo da bambino
Ma qui c'è gente, non si può più
Stanno innaffiando le tue rose
Non c'è il leone, chissà dov'è

Rit.
All through the year I look for summer,
And here it is now so suddenly.
I'm on my own here in the city
For she's already left for the sea.
I here a whistle above the rooftops:
It's just an airplane abōve me.

Chorus
Too azure,
The afternoon it is too sky-blue
And long for me
I realize
I have no resources if you are
Not here with me,
At which point
I almost think I'll take the train and come there,
Come there to thee
However the train of wishes
Within my thoughts can only backwards go.

This feels like back in oratory
With so much sunshine so long ago,
Those lonely Sundays in the courtyard
When I would walk there all on my own…
Now I get bored more than I used to,
There is no priest here to say hello.

Chorus

I seek some Africa in my garden,
'Tween oleander and baobab
Just like used to in my childhood,
But there are people, I can no more.
They are now watering your roses,
The lion's not there: where could he be?

Chorus

Life goes on, bra

I'm sure with that title you all already know what song we're dealing with today :). And yes, it is indeed Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, by the Beatles, which I translated to Greek, Albanian, Italian, and the chorus to French too, will complete it eventually. Let's hear IAFI on all this:
  1. In the evening of 1/2/22, I randomly have Papaveri e papere Greek version and Obladi Oblada on my mind, and I think «Έτσι, άστα!» could be a good rendering of «Life goes on, bra!», so by 18:18 I finish the chorus:

    Οβλαντί, οβλαντά,
    Έτσι, άσ' τα!
    Έτσι η ζωή, λα-λα!

    Putting this here, I realize it should have been Ομπλαντί Ομπλαντά. It's 11:36. 3/2/22 2:27 I add ë́n' to l. 3, thus getting:

    Ο-μπλα-ντί, ο-μπλα-ντά,
    Έτσι, άσ' τα!
    Έτσ' είν' η ζωή, λα-λα!

    3/2/22 15:46 I translate the line «Take O-bla-di-bla-da» into Πάρ' Ο-μπλα-ντί-μλα-ντά».
    22/8/22 I want to send this to Kika but only the chorus is too little, so at 18:04-18:14 I do verse 1. Kika then exhorts me to finish it, so since I'm unwilling to work I finish it, 19:36-20:16. After a couple Kika corrections, at 22:23 that evening, I have the below version, modulo a change from the following day fixing "Ο Ντέσμοντ λέει στην Μόλλυ" at 18:03, and one at 20:19 of 3/9/22 fixing «Το βράδυ αυτή, να, στο συγκρότημα τραγουδά» to «Το βράδυ αυτή ακόμη στο συγκρότημα τραγουδά» first and to the below afterwards:

    and so far the IAFI version is current, and is the one that will be recorded tomorrow. The only thing is that the choice between Φορά στο σπίτι η Μόλλυ λίγο μακιγιάζ and Η Μόλλυ μακιγιάρεται στο σπίτι, να, is from 14:39 on 29/9/23.
  2. Around 22:40 on 2/2/22, I start an Albanian translation, doing the chorus and «Këndo Obladi-blada!». As I ready the intertwining you see below, I realize it's "take", not "sing", so I fix it to merr in the afternoon of 3/2/22.



    On 23/1/23, in a moment when I'm especially not feeling like working, I take this up again, and finally complete it 18:57-20:08, putting everything together the next day, with a tweak at 15:29.

    Here we instead have a change. I tried to sing verse 1, and thought «Dhe Molly, tu marr' dor'n e tij, thot' kështu» would fit better with "dorën e tij". That was 14:16(?) on 29/9/23.
  3. 22/8/22 19:35 I translate the first two lines of verse 1 of this, and recover the translation of the chorus from the Italian version. At 13:44-45 on 5/9/22, I do part of the "couple of years" section. As I add that here, on 7/9/22 at 0:08, I change "un banchetto ha" to "un banchetto ci ha" in l. 1. At 0:10, I think of «Prendi Ob-la-di-bla-da» and then «Vai di O-bla-di-bla-da», and at 0:12 I think of «Per divertirti un po'». So now we make an intertwining:



    Then, on 5/10/22, for some reason I decide to stop working and continue this, and at 22:57-23:00 and 23:25-23:39 I do verse 1, then at 23:41-23:47 I complete the below version; "Per la casa" remains in the French-Italian intertwining, and is re-corrected to "Nel giardino" 17/10/25 14:45;
  4. On 26/10/22, thinking of, and perhaps singing, the Greek version, I map Greek ás' ta to French Ne t'en fais pas, and at 19:18 end up with:

    Obladi Oblada
    Ne t'en fais pas!
    La-la, la vie c'est comme ça.

    I then also translate the last two lines, in swapped order, at 0:16 the following night:

    Pour t'amuser un peu,
    Prends Obladi-blada.

    I only get back to it years later, on 17/10/25, finishing the job at 1:44-2:16; it would appear I lost a tweak that was in IAFI, namely «17/3/25 16:59 I change c'est to va: «La vie va comme ça»», as per IAFI. Also, «T'es très belle en vérité» didn't fit the tune, so at 23:40 on 24/10/25 I changed it to «Ton visage me plaît».
We then have tweaks from the recording day of Italian and Greek, namely 30/9/23:
  • First, I realize it's yard not home, so I fix Που στο σπίτι τρέχουν / Το της οικογένειας Δζόνζ» at 11:59…
  • …«që vrapojn' në sht'pin'» at 11:59…
  • …and «Per la casa» at 12:01;
  • Finally, since Google says it's tregún not trégun, I change «në tregun ka» at 13:44…
  • And since it also says gardhín not gárdhin, «në gardhin» gets its elision.
So let's see this song, shall we?


Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Chorus:
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing (sing)

They have built a home, sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening, she still sings it with the band (yes)

Che siano una cosa sola

Oggi abbiamo una canzone italiana, Che siano una sola cosa, tradotta in Greco. Al solito, sentiamo che dice IAFI:

On 15/4/23, as the exercises go on, this song gets performed, and I start trying a Greek translation. 17:08-17:17 I produce: [Il 15/4/23, mentre si svolgono gli esercizi [spirituali], viene eseguita questa canzone, e io attacco a tentare una traduzione greca. Alle 17:08-17:17 produco:]

Να είναι μόν' ένα πράγμα
Να ο κόσμος είδει,
Να είναι μια αγάπη (μόνο μια αγάπη)
Να ο κόσμος πιστεύει.

Η μηχανή του κόσμου

Then on the evening of 18/4/23 I do some more work, ending up with the following after a couple tweaks the next day: [Poi la sera del 18/4/23 faccio un po' più di lavoro, arrivando a quanto segue dopo un paio di modifichette il giorno seguente:]

Επωδός·
Να 'ναι ένα ενιαίο πράγμα
Ώστε ο κόσμος νά 'δει,
Να 'ναι μια ενιαία αγάπη
Ὤστε ο κόσμος να πιστεύει.

Η μηχανή του κόσμου,
Των λαών η ιδιοτέλεια/αυτοφιλία
Schiacciano e condannano
Chi non vale niente.
Davanti a queste cose
C'è chi maledice,
Μα ο γιος του Παντοκράτωρος,
Χριστός, τι να ζητάει?

I send that to Kika at 12:39, and she replies at 15:44/45 with the following full translation I have yet to digest (I don't think it quite fits the tune, or I'd adopt it as is, provided it rhymed enough): [Lo mando alla Kika alle 12:39, e lei risponde alle 15:44/45 con la seguente traduzione completa che devo ancora digerire (non credo stia tanto nella musica, sennò l'adotterei così com'è, ammesso che rimi abbastanza):]

Νά ‘ναι (όλοι) όλα ένα,
Ώστε ο κόσμος να δει.
Νά ‘ναι μι’ αγάπη μόνο /νά’ναι όλα μι’αγάπη,
Ώστε ο κόσμος να πιστέψει.

Τα γρανάζια του κόσμου,
Ο εγωισμός των ανθρώπων,
Συντρίβουν και καταδικάζουν
Όσους είναι ανάξιοι.
Σε τετοιες καταστάσεις
Κάποιοι καταριούνται.
Μα ο Υιός του Παντοδύναμου,
Ο Χριστός, τι ζητάει?

Όλη η κακία μας
Ας μην φέρει απογοήτευση,
Έχουμε την υπόσχεση
Ότι θα σώσει τα πάντα;
Κι αν ακόμα η προσπάθειά σου
Δείχνει να μην αλλάζει τίποτα,
Όχι, μην σταματάς,
Αλλά σαν τον Χριστό προσευχήσου.

I finally get around to reading this the night between 24 and 25/4/23, completing the translation 0:16-0:42 and sending it to Kika. She replies the next morning and, with a little back and forth, within the day the following version is agreed upon: [Finalmente arrivo a legger questa cosa le notte tra il 24 e il 25/4/23, completando la traduzione alle 0:16-0:42 e mandandola alla Kika. Lei risponde la mattina seguente e, dopo un po' di avanti e indietro, entro la giornata concordiamo per la seguente versione:], che poi è la versione finale.

Bon, e allora vediamola mo'! Per ora vi metto Italiano e Greco affiancati, senza traslitterare quest'ultimo, così mi risparmio una valanga di a capo e l'intera traslitterazione. Prima o poi probabilmente arriverò con un'altra traduzione "riempicolonna" e aggiungerò anche la traslitterazione.


Rit.
Che siano una sola cosa
Perché il mondo veda,
Che siano un solo amore
Perché il mondo creda.

La macchina del mondo,
L'egoismo della gente
Schiacciano e condannano
Chi non vale niente;
Davanti a queste cose
C'è chi maledice,
Ma il Figlio del Potente,
Cristo, cosa chiede?

Rit.

Tutto il nostro male
Non ci porti delusione,
Abbiamo la promessa
Che tutto salverà,
Ed anche se il tuo sforzo
Non sembra cambiar niente,
No, non ti fermare,
Ma come Cristo prega:

Rit.
Επωδός·
Νά ‘ναι όλοι κι όλα ένα,
Ώστε ο κόσμος να δει,
Νά ‘ναι όλοι μι’αγάπη,
Ώστε ο κόσμος να πιστέψει.

Του κὀσμου τα γρανάζια,
Των ανθρώπων ο εγωισμός
Πάντα εκμηδενίζουν
Όποιον είν' ανάξϊος.
Σε τέτοιες καταστάσεις
Καταριούνται κάποιοι,
Μα ο Υιός του Παντοδύναμου,
Ο Χριστός, τι θα ζητάει?

Επωδός

Όλη η κακία μας
Ας μην φέρει απογοήτευση·
Έχουμε την υπόσχεση
Πως τα πάντα θα σωθούν.
Κι αν τίποτα δεν νοιώθεις
Ότι αλλάζεις, κι αν προσπαθώντας,
Όχι, να μην πάψεις,
Μα σαν τον Χριστό προσεύχου.

Επωδός

Personale

Noooo! Davvero? Sto finalmente facendo la bozza di questo post? No perché è una traduzione (anzi sono due traduzioni) che ho iniziato (anzi iniziate) nel lontano 2021, ultimato tipo a maggio, e pianificato per luglio per il canale, e invece è già Settembre e questa povera canzone è stata ritardata all'inverosimile. Trattasi di Προσωπικό, canzone greca che dà il titolo al blog, e che ho tradotto in Italiano e in Francese. Al solito, sentiamo IAFI:
  1. «On 26/10/21 I try to translate Prosōpikó to Italian. At 11:02 I have» (Il 26/10/21 cerco di tradurre Prosōpikó in Italiano. Alle 11:02 ho):

    Perché è difficile amāre,
    E ancor di più lo è amāre

    «At 11:03 I tweak l. 1 as «Perché è difficile assai amar», and at 11:05 I do another line «Una persona a lūngo», ending up with» (alle 11:03 modifico la riga 1 come «Perché è difficile assai amar», ed alle 11:05 faccio un'altra riga «Una persona a lūngo», arrivando ad avere):

    Perché è difficile amāre, / Perché è difficile assai amar
    E ancor di più lo è amāre
    Una persona a lūngo

    «I then decide to ditch this because it's awful, so I move to French. But that is not the end of it, because way later, at midnight on 14/12/21» (Decido poi di abbandonare 'sta cosa perché è tremenda, quindi mi sposto sul Francese. Ma questa non è la fine, perché molto più tardi, a mezzanotte del 14/12/21):

    Perché è difficile nutrīre amor,
    È ancor di più lo è nutrīre amor => nutrīrlo per
    La stessa persona a lūngo

    «And that's what I'm left with for a very long time. Finally, on 11/5/23, in a time period where I'm basically completing translation after translation, I decide to take this up again, and complete it between 16:05 and 16:57, with minor tweaks later that day and while assembling the complete version, which is ready by 0:51 the following night» (E questo è il punto cui resto per un tempo molto lungo. Finalmente, l'11/5/23, in un periodo in cui sto completando traduzione dopo traduzione, decido di riprendere questa, e la completo tra le 16:05 e le 16:57, con modifichette minori più tardi quel giorno e mentre assemblo la versione completa, che è pronta per le 0:51 della notte seguente), e segue la versione in questione, che è quella sotto ma con «Con forza / (E attrazione) / E attrazione / (E pelle calda) / E pelle calda»; la versione corrente di questo arriva solo alle 11:35 del giorno seguente;
  2. «Same song as above, when I ditch the Italian (ha ha ha!), I do the first three lines» (Stessa canzone di sopra, quando abbandono l'Italiano (ha ha ha!), faccio le prime tre righe) (11:06 26/10/21):

    Parce qu'il est bien difficilė d'aimer,
    Et même plus difficilė d'aimer
    La mêmė personne pour longtemps,

    «In the dead of night, at 5:11 on 13/12/21, I remake it almost identical, the only difference being c'est vs. il est, which I decide to keep, meaning that for now we have» (Nel cuore della notte, alle 5:11 del 13/12/21, le rifaccio quasi identiche, con unica differenza il c'est al posto di il est, che decido di tenere, il che significa che per ora abbiamo):

    Parce que c'est bien difficilė d'aimer,
    Et même plus difficilė d'aimer
    La mêmė personne pour longtemps,

    «My plan to publish this in 2021, soon after starting it in fact, definitely went down the drain :). Indeed, I only took this up just after the Italian, on 11/5/23, doing the sung parts 16:57-17:04 and the spoken parts 17:06-17:30, with minor tweaks the following night, leading to the following complete version» (Il mio piano di pubbliare questa cosa nel 2021, anzi poco dopo averla iniziata, è sicuramente finito nel cesso :). Infatti, l'ho ripresa solo dopo l'Italiano, l'11/5/23, facendo le parti cantate alle 16:57-17:04 e quelle parlate alle 17:06-17:30, con modifichette minori la notte seguente, portando alla seguente versione completa), che è quella di sotto.
Quanto sopra si riferisce solo alle versioni originali. Quelle del video hanno delle modifiche in più fatte durante la registrazione.
Bon, e dunque andiamo a vedere questa canzone!
[Επειδή η ζωή μας
Μοιάζει να φυραίνει μέρα τη μέρα,
Δε θα πει πως η ζωή
Δεν αξίζει τον κόπο.]

* Επειδή είναι δύσκολο να αγαπάς
[Επειδή σ’ αγάπησα και σ’ αγαπώ ακόμη
Κι ας μην είν' όπως παλιά,]
Και δυσκολότερο να αγαπάς
Τον ίδιον άνθρωπο για καιρό,
[Δε θα πει πως πέθανε η αγάπη,]
Κάνοντας σχέδια και παιδιά,
Καυγάδες, εκδρομές,
[Κουράστηκε ίσως, σαν κάθε τι που ανασαίνει.]
Έρωτα, χρέη, αρρώστιες,
Χριστούγεννα, Κυριακές

[Επειδή περνάς δύσκολες μέρες
Σκυμμένη σε χαρτιά και γκρεμούς
Που δεν κλείνουν
Κι εγώ πηδάω, τις νύχτες επι κοντώ
Λαχανιάζοντας,
Δε θα πει πως δεν έχουμε
Μοίρα στον ήλιο,
Έχουμε την δική μας μοίρα.]

Επειδή είναι δύσκολο να αγαπάς
[Επειδή πότε είσαι άνθρωπος
Και πότε πουλί,]
Και δυσκολότερο να αγαπάς
Τον ίδιο άνθρωπο για καιρό,
[Φέρνεις στο σπίτι μας
ψωμάκια μικρά της αποδημίας]
Κάνοντας σχέδια και παιδιά,
Καυγάδες, εκδρομές,
[Κι ελπίζουνε τα παιδιά μας
Σε καλύτερες μέρες.]
Έρωτα, χρέη, αρρώστιες,
Χριστούγεννα, Κυριακές

[Επειδή λες όχι, και ναι,
Κι ύστερα όχι, και δεν παραιτείσαι,
Ντρέπομαι για τα ίσως,
Τα μπορεί τα δικά μου,
Μα δεν αλλάζω,
Όπως δεν αλλάζεις κι εσύ,
Αν αλλάζαμε,
Θα ήμαστε πάλι δυο άγνωστοι
Και θα αρχίζαμε 'πό το άλφα.
Τώρα ξέρουμε πού πονάς,
Πού σωπαίνω,
Πότε γίνεται παύση,
Διακοπή αίματος
Και κρυώνουν τα σώματα,
Ώσπου μυστικό δυναμό
Να φορτίσει πάλι τα μέλη με δύναμη]

Με δύναμη
[Κι έλξη]
Κι έλξη
[Και δέρμα ζεστό.]
Και δέρμα ζεστό.

Επειδή είναι δύσκολο να αγαπάς
[Επειδή σ’ αγάπησα και σ’ αγαπώ ακόμη
Κι ας μην είν' όπως παλιά,]
Και δυσκολότερο να αγαπάς
Τον ίδιον άνθρωπο για καιρό,
[Δε θα πει πως πέθανε η αγάπη,]
Κάνοντας σχέδια και παιδιά,
Καυγάδες, εκδρομές,
[Κουράστηκε ίσως, σαν κάθε τι που ανασαίνει.]
Έρωτα, χρέη, αρρώστιες,
Χριστούγεννα, Κυριακές

[Και Δευτέρες, νόστιμα φαγητά
Και καμένα, θέλοντας ο καθένας
Να είν' ο άλλος γεφύρι και δέντρο
Και πηγή κατά τις περιστάσεις
Ή και όλα μαζί στην ανάγκη,]

Δε θα πει πως εγώ
Δεν μπορώ να γίνω κάτι
Από αυτά ή και όλα μαζί
Κι αν είναι να περάσω
Μιαν ζωήν στη σκλαβιά
Κι αν είναι να περάσω
Μιαν ζωήν στη σκλαβιά
Ας είμαι, λέω, σκλάβος
Ας είμαι, λέω, σκλάβος
Της αγάπης.

[Δε θα πει πως δεν έχουμε
Μοίρα στον ήλιο,
Έχουμε την δική μας μοίρα.]

Κι αν είναι να περάσω
Μιαν ζωήν στη σκλαβιά
Κι αν είναι να περάσω
Μιαν ζωήν στη σκλαβιά
Ας είμαι, λέω, σκλάβος
Ας είμαι, λέω, σκλάβος
Της αγάπης.



(Solo perché la nostra vita
Pare seccarsi giorno dopo giorno,
Non vuol dire che la vita
Non valga la pena.)

* Dato che è difficile nutrīre amor,
(Siccome ti ho amata e ti amo ancora
Anche se non è come una volta)
È ancor di più lo è nutrīre amor
A lungo per la stessa persona
(Non vuol dire che l'amore sia morto)
Facendo figli e progetti
E litigi e gite speciali,
(Magari s'è stancato, come tutto ciò che respira)
L'amore, debiti, malanni,
Domeniche, Natali

(Solo perché passi giorni difficili,
Piegata tra scartoffie, e scogli
Che non si chiudono,
E io salto coll'asta ogni notte,
Ansimando,
Non vuol dire che non abbiamo
Una parte del sole,
Abbiamo la nostra parte.)

Dato che è difficile nutrīre amor,
(Siccome a volte sei persona,
E a volte uccello,)
È ancor di più lo è nutrīre amor
A lungo per la stessa persona
(Porti a casa nostra
Delle pagnotte per il loro viaggio,)
Facendo figli e progetti
E litigi e gite speciali,
(E i nostri bambini sperano
In giorni migliori.)
L'amore, debiti, malanni,
Domeniche, Natali

(Siccome tu dici no, e sì,
E poi no, e non ti arrendi,
Mi vergogno dei "forse",
Dei miei stessi "può darsi",
Ma non cambio,
Come non cambi neanche tu,
Se cambiassimo,
Saremmo di nuovo due sconosciuti,
E cominceremmo da capo.
Ora sappiamo dove tu soffri,
Dove io taccio,
Quando capita una pausa,
Un'interruzione del flusso sanguigno
E ci si gelano i corpi,
Finché una dinamo segreta
Ci ricarica di nuovo le membra con forza.)

Di forza
(Di attrazione)
Di attrazione
(Di pelle calda)
Di pelle calda

*

(E i Lunedì, e cibi deliziosi
E bruciati, volendo ciascuno di noi
Che l'altro sia un ponte e un albero
E una sorgente a seconda delle circostanze
O anche tutto insieme se c'è bisogno)

Non vuol dire che io
Non possa diventare una
Di quelle cose o anche tutte insieme
Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Dell'amore

(Non vuol dire che non abbiamo
Una parte del sole,
Abbiamo la nostra parte.)

Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Dell'amore

(Seulement parce que nôtre vie
Parait se sécher jour à jour,
Ça veut pas dire que la vie
Ne vaille pas la peine)

* Comme qu'il est bien difficilė d'aimer,
(Seulement parce que je t'ai aimée et je t'aime encore,
Même si c'est pas comme une fois,)
Et même plus difficilė d'aimer
La même personnė pour longtemps
(Ça veut pas dire que l'amour est mort,)
En faisant des projets, des enfants,
Des excursions et des querelles,
(Il est peut-être fatigué, comme toute les chose qui respirent.)
L'amour, des dettes, des maladies,
Des Dimanches, des Noëls.

(Seulement parce que tu passes des jours difficiles,
Accroupie entre paperasses et écueils
Qui ne se ferment pas
E moi je saute chaque nuit avec une perche,
En haletant,
Ça veut pas dire que l'on n'a pas
Una part du soleil,
On a bien nôtre part.)

Comme qu'il est bien difficilė d'aimer,
(Seulement parce que parfois tu es homme,
Et parfois oiseau,)
Et même plus difficilė d'aimer
La même personnė pour longtemps
(Et t'apportes à notre maison
Des petits pains pour leur voyage,)
En faisant des projets, des enfants,
Des excursions et des querelles,
(Et les enfants espèrent
En des jours meilleurs,)
L'amour, des dettes, des maladies,
Des Dimanches, des Noëls.

(Seulement parce que tu dis non, et oui,
Et enfin non, et tu ne te rends pas,
J'ai honte des "peut-être",
De mes propres "il se peut",
Mais je ne change pas,
Comme même toi tu ne changes pas,
Si l'on changeait,
L'on serait de nouveau deux inconnus,
Et l'on recommencerait du début.
Maintenant l'on sait où tu suffres,
Où je me tais,
Quand il se passe un pause,
Une interruption du flux du sang,
Et nos corps se font froids,
Jusqu'à ce qu'une dynamo secrète
Nous recharge encore les membres avec la force)

Avec d'la force,
(D'l'attraction,)
D'l'attraction,
(De la peau chaude.)
De la peau chaude.

*

(Et les Lundis, des aliments délicieux
Et des brûlés, voulant chacun de nous
Que l'autre soit un pont et un arbre
Et une source selon les circumstances,
Ou même tout ensemble dans le besoin)

Ça veut pas dire que moi
Je ne puisse devenir rien
De tout ça, ou même tout ensemble
Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Que je puisse être esclavė
Que je puisse être esclavė
De l'amour

(Ça veut pas dire que l'on n'a pas
Una part du soleil,
On a bien nôtre part.)

Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Que je puisse être esclavė

Non vuol dire che io
Non possa diventare una
Di quelle cose o anche tutte insieme
Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Dell'amore

(Non vuol dire che non abbiamo
Una parte del sole,
Abbiamo la nostra parte.)

Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Pur se dovrò passare
Una vita in schiavitù,
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Che io sia dunque schiavo
Dell'amore

(Seulement parce que nôtre vie
Parait se sécher jour à jour,
Ça veut pas dire que la vie
Ne vaille pas la peine)

* Comme il est bien difficilė d'aimer,
(Comme je t'ai aimée et je t'aime encore,
Même si ce n'est pas comme une fois,)
Et même plus difficilė d'aimer
La même personnė pour longtemps
(Ça veut pas dire que l'amour est mort,)
En faisant des projets, des enfants,
Des excursions et des querelles,
(Il est peut-être fatigué, comme toute les chose qui respirent.)
L'amour, des dettes, des maladies,
Des Dimanches et des Noëls.

(Seulement parce que tu passes des jours difficiles,
Accroupie entre paperasses et écueils
Qui ne se ferment pas
E moi je saute chaque nuit avec une perche,
En haletant,
Ça veut pas dire que l'on n'a pas
Una part du soleil,
On a bien nôtre part.)

Comme il est bien difficilė d'aimer,
(Comme parfois tu es homme,
Et parfois oiseau,)
Et même plus difficilė d'aimer
La même personnė pour longtemps
(T'apportes à notre maison
Des petits pains pour leur voyage,)
En faisant des projets, des enfants,
Des excursions et des querelles,
(Et nos enfants espèrent
En des jours meilleurs.)
L'amour, des dettes, des maladies,
Des Dimanches et des Noëls.

(Comme tu dis non, et oui,
Et enfin non, et tu ne te rends pas,
J'ai honte des "peut-être",
De mes propres "il se peut",
Mais je ne change pas,
Comme même toi tu ne changes pas,
Si l'on changeait,
L'on serait de nouveau deux inconnus,
Et l'on recommencerait du début.
Maintenant l'on sait où tu suffres,
Où je me tais,
Quand il se passe un pause,
Une interruption du flux du sang,
Et nos corps se font froids,
Jusqu'à ce qu'une dynamo secrète
Nous recharge encore les membres avec la force)

Avec d'la force,
(D'l'attraction,)
D'l'attraction,
(De la peau chaude.)
De la peau chaude.

*

(Et les Lundis, des aliments délicieux
Et des brûlés, voulant chacun de nous
Que l'autre soit un pont et un arbre
Et une source selon les circumstances,
Ou même tout ensemble dans le besoin)

Ça veut pas dire que moi
Je ne puisse devenir rien
De tout ça, ou même tout ensemble
Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Que je puisse être esclavė
Que je puisse être esclavė
De l'amour

(Ça veut pas dire que l'on n'a pas
Una part du soleil,
On a bien nôtre part.)

Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Et même si j' devrais vivre
Toute la vie en esclavage,
Que je puisse être esclavė
Que je puisse être esclavė
De l'amour
