| [Ulysses speaks:] | |
| Oh my dear friends, partners in this wild adventure, listen closely as I reveal what fate has in store for us. This is a matter of life and death! If we want to live, we must be wise. | |
| Ahead of us lie the flowery meadows where the Sirens play, their sweet music floating on the breeze. The gods have decreed that only I may hear this dangerous sound. But you, my friends, must bind me tightly with chains so that I cannot move a muscle. If I beg for freedom, you must add more chains and hold me fast. | |
| As we speak, our ship flies through the water, and there - do you see? The Siren shores appear like misty dreams before us. Suddenly, all is still. The winds have died away, and even the waves below are calm. It's as if some demon has cast a spell over the air and sea, hushing the loud winds and charming the waters into slumber. | |
| Quickly now! Furl the sails and take up your oars! Feel the frothy water fly beneath our strokes as we race towards the Sirens' lair. The sun grows warmer overhead, melting the wax I have used to seal my ears. But still, I cannot hear their deadly song. | |
| My friends, bind me tighter with chains and ropes until I am completely immobilized. Now row! Row with all your might as we approach the shore! The Sirens have spotted us, and now they begin to sing - a celestial music that warbles from their tongues like honeyed wine. | |
| "Oh stay, oh pride of Greece! Ulysses, stay!" they call out in sweet, deluding voices. "Cease your course and listen to our song! Blest is the man who hears our voice; our song instructs the soul and charms the ear. Approach, and learn new wisdom from the wise!" | |
| My heart leaps within me, longing to hear more of their heavenly strains. I struggle against my chains, desperate to be free. But my friends row on, swift and sure, adding new chains until the distant sounds of the Sirens' song fade away into nothingness. | |
| At last, we are safe! The deafened ear unlocked, the chains fall away, and I am free once more. Oh, what a narrow escape that was! But thanks to my brave friends, we have survived another day in this perilous journey across the sea. |
