Kavafis, Konstantinos: Επέστρεφε

Portre of Kavafis, Konstantinos

Επέστρεφε (Greek)

Επέστρεφε συχνά και παίρνε με,
αγαπημένη αίσθησις επέστρεφε και παίρνε με—
όταν ξυπνά του σώματος η μνήμη,
κ’ επιθυμία παληά ξαναπερνά στο αίμα·
όταν τα χείλη και το δέρμα ενθυμούνται,
κ’ αισθάνονται τα χέρια σαν ν’ αγγίζουν πάλι.

Επέστρεφε συχνά και παίρνε με την νύχτα,
όταν τα χείλη και το δέρμα ενθυμούνται...

Come back (English)

Come back often and take me,
beloved sensation, come back and take me—
when the memory in my body awakens,
and the old desire again runs through my blood;
when the lips and the skin remember
and the hands feel as if they were touching again.

Come back often and take me at night,
when the lips and the skin remember…
