Kavafis, Konstantinos: I went (Επήγα in English)

Portre of Kavafis, Konstantinos

Επήγα (Greek)

Δεν εδεσμεύθηκα. Τελείως αφέθηκα κ’ επήγα.
Στες απολαύσεις, που μισό πραγματικές,
μισό γυρνάμενες μες στο μυαλό μου ήσαν,
επήγα μες στην φωτισμένη νύχτα.
Κ’ ήπια από δυνατά κρασιά, καθώς
που πίνουν οι ανδρείοι της ηδονής.

I went (English)

I did not restrain myself. I set myself
entirely free and I went. To the pleasures
that were half real, half turning around
inside my mind, I went to the illuminated night.
And I drank strong wines, like the ones
those who are unafraid of carnal delights drink.
