a long journey to
the wisdom's shore calls to the hero
back to home
Introducing Ulisse
near the bridge, now approaching, a shiny
dual flame a breath of wind shakes one of them,
and waving as a talking tongue breaking silence
Dante and Virgilio see two flames, one of those is Ulisse who tells about his long and troubled journey
neither love, my old father, nor missing my son
took my soul from craving to sail,
away on the waves, searching for the unknown
Ulisse narrates his journey from his own point of view
those ones who didn't left me
we sailed the tides
old and spent we arrived to the pillars
fatti non foste a viver come bruti,
ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza
Literal quote
we turned oars into wings
in our Flying,
southern constellations
were shining
Description of Ulisseâs arrival, the journeyâs end
when that mountain appeared
highest ever,
our joy became tears
sinking us
into the remote mist
and shift the bound onward
the only one who can
enlight your journey, now
Ulisse urges to sail to the unknown because this is human nature
Dante does not agree and confirms that only God can enlighten humansâ light
hey brothers o' mine,
consciousness has no
age, nor stands as a flag
once at a border
never negate yourself
a way beyond it
right trough our Sun
Ulisse reiterates the concept to jump over the boundaries of knowledge to discover more and more
