Song Information:

Another song from Enrique Luna's "Bicho en la Luna". This is based on the Odyssey's Ulysses. Made with World Music Jam Pack using greek instruments and a nice Bansuri Flute (love that one), plus some others.

Song Lyrics:

Ulysses never thought,
when he was going away
that he was about to lose
more than what he would gain
but you don't reach a dream
just by asking the heavens
so one day he took off
to look for another tomorrow

Ulysses did't look back,
keeping in his memory
the promise of returning
a chunk of his history:
the verses, the words
a song, a tale
that would bring him back
to the woman he loved

Penelope
whilst weaving her life
our souls were unthreading
Penelope
never forgot
that what shines in darkness
is hope

Time took its toll on his wounds
and absence wore off
day by day his smile
it was a distant voice
the relief for his pain
the announce and signal to get back home

Night draw the way in his eyes
the caress that buried exile in its hands:
that was the gift he was waiting for
the relief for his pain
the light and signal when nobody expected him

Penelope...

Penelope's heart was older
and Ulysses looked at her with his renewed eyes
fear was a ghost when they embraced
willing to start all over

Penelope... (tha agapo)
