The Golden Fleece |
| [00:09.11] |
They came from Grecian islands, consumed by sacred fire |
| [00:15.54] |
That burned inside their breasts where they roamed |
| [00:20.61] |
Reminding them of wives and children, families left behind |
| [00:27.42] |
As they sailed away from their ancestral home |
| [00:33.48] |
From Kalimos and Halki, Carpathos, Simian Coast |
| [00:40.23] |
Guided by St. Nicholas'cross the sea |
| [00:45.39] |
They came at last to their new home on Florida's west coast |
| [00:52.26] |
To Tarpon Springs where they made history |
| [00:57.69] |
And like Jason and the Argonauts and brave Ulysses too |
| [01:04.53] |
They're called to seek their destinies like all Greek heroes do |
| [01:09.99] |
They made their home in Florida but always longed for Greece |
| [01:16.89] |
As they sailed the Gulf of Mexico to find the Golden Fleece |
| [01:28.47] |
Simple men and innocent, courageous without fear |
| [01:34.92] |
Weathered by the sun and by the seas |
| [01:39.99] |
With hearts forged from malignant fires |
| [01:43.74] |
For seven thousand years |
| [01:46.95] |
The spongers were of fierce determined greed |
| [01:52.02] |
From Enclote Key they sailed their boats |
| [01:55.77] |
For six months they'd be gone |
| [01:58.74] |
To harvest sponge beneath the blue-green waves |
| [02:04.05] |
From bins and drowning, sharks and gales, and blistering heat of sun |
| [02:10.95] |
Many young men went to watery graves |
| [02:16.29] |
But they built the town and brought their wives and families there to live |
| [02:23.01] |
And embraced the wealth and freedom this new country had to give |
| [02:28.38] |
And they're anchored by their heritage they left behind in Greece |
| [02:35.43] |
When they came to live in Tarpon Springs to fish the golden fleas |
| [02:41.01] |
And Father, now please sanctify the waters for our souls |
| [02:47.46] |
Epiphany's past, the glendy's done, and now it's time to go |
| [02:52.89] |
The young man who retrieved the cross sails with us at the dawn |
| [02:59.67] |
Bless him and us and all our boats, pray for us while we're gone |
| [03:05.16] |
Ευλογήσε τον πλόητος και όλος των πλοιών |
| [03:11.85] |
Ευλογήσε τον πλήρωμα να βρούμε τον κελό |
| [03:17.07] |
For we've sailed the Blue Aegean and the Gulf of Mexico |
| [03:23.73] |
And the sea will always beckon us and we will always go |
| [03:29.31] |
And Saint Nicholas guards the Mariner, Poseidon guards the seas |
| [03:36.15] |
And with God's good grace and with your prayers |
| [03:40.05] |
We'll find the golden fleece |
