Episode of the retreat of the Ten Thousand, Jean Adrien Guignet
Thalatta! Thalatta!
Sei mir gegrüßt, du ewiges Meer!
Sei mir gegrüßt zehntausendmal,
Aus jauchzendem Herzen,
Wie einst dich begrüßten
Zehntausend Griechenherzen,
Unglückbekämpfende, heimatverlangende,
Weltberühmte Griechenherzen. Heinrich Heine |
Thalatta! Thalatta!
Greetings to you, eternal sea!
I greet you ten thousand times,
From cheering heart,
Like once you was welcomed
By ten thousand Greek hearts,
misfortune-fighting, homeland-seeking
world-famous Greek hearts. Heinrich Heine (a poor translation) |
