Emptied
Empty yourself of a thousand
withered minds
and thoughtlessness.
There’s no progress
in apathy, he said,
but nevertheless
he walked away.

Where are you going my heart with open sails?
Για πού το ‘βαλες καρδιά μου μ’ ανοιχτά πανιά
For which heavenly magic stars you sailed
Για ποια πέλαγα ουράνια άστρα μαγικά
Where are you going my heart with open sails?
Για πού το ‘βαλες καρδιά μου μ’ ανοιχτά πανιά
For what distant homeland
Για ποια μακρινή πατρίδα έρμη ξενητειά
Sea, sky with stars, nowhere land
Θάλασσα ουρανός μ’ αστέρια πουθενά στεριά
Where are you going my heart with open sails?
Για πού το ‘βαλες καρδιά μου μ’ ανοιχτά πανιά
What love, what port, what consolation
Ποια αγάπη, ποιο λιμάνι, ποια παρηγοριά
You will embrace the wave and caress the South wind
Θα ‘χεις αγκαλιά το κύμα χάδι το νοτιά
Where are you going my heart with open sails?
I do like this, wonderful end line.

It is hard to follow our own advice. The video could not be played on this side of the Atlantic. 😦
