But in Troy, things got messyPero en Troya se lió
And he had to go to warY a la guerra debe irse
I gotta leave, my love, but I’ll be backDebo irme mi vida, pero volveré
And I’ll wait for youY yo te esperaré
And I swear I’ll beY te juro que estaré
Unmarried untilSin casarme hasta que
Your son grows up!Tu hijo crezca!

After the tough goodbyeTras la dura despedida
He recruited AchillesA Aquiles reclutó
Ten years of his lifeSon diez años de su vida
Fighting, what a painLuchando, qué dolor
With his plan in mindCon su idea construida
A great horseUn gran caballo
Now Troy is lostAhora Troya está perdida
The war is coming to an endLa guerra se termina

He set sailSe embarcó
And headed home on the wavesY rumbo a casa navegó
The journey soon got complicated and the odysseyEl viaje se complica pronto y la odisea
BeganComenzó
Poseidon got really pissedEnfadan mucho a Poseidón
With all that wind, he got lostCon tanto viento se perdió
And ended up on an islandY a una isla llegó

A witch lives thereUna bruja vive allí
She turned her people into pigsConvirtió a su gente en cerdos
To rescue them, Hermes helped himPara rescatarles Hermes le ayudó
Made him immuneInmune le volvió
He hooked up with the witchA la bruja se ligó
Broke the spellEl hechizo levantó
And let them goLes deja irse

This journey's gonna cost a lotEste viaje va a costar
A seer told himSe lo dijo un adivino
They have to pass through the sirensEntre las sirenas tienen que pasar
Their music is deadlySu música es letal
He has to tie himself to the mastEn el mástil se ha de atar
Or he’ll jump into the seaO saltará hacia el mar
And say goodbye for goodY adiós muy buenas

Sheep of the Sun GodOvejas del Dios Sol
Only Ulysses made itSolo Ulises ha llegado
To CalypsoHasta Calipso
That nymph has himEsa ninfa le ha dejado
Pretty enchantedBastante engatusado

He loved itLe encantó
For seven years, she trapped himPor siete años le atrapó
But he always kept his family in his heartPero siempre llevaba a su familia en el corazón
Zeus convinced CalypsoZeus a Calipso convenció
And freed poor UlyssesAl pobre Ulises liberó
And he died of sadnessY de pena se murió

His wife is overwhelmedSu mujer está agobiada
She’s being harassed non-stopNo la paran de acosar
Because she set up a test toPorque alistó una prueba para
Finally decide who she’d marryDecidir al fin con quien se iba a casar
Ulysses will winUlises logrará ganar

With his bow, he has no rivalCon su arco no tiene rival
Together they start anewJuntos vuelven a empezar
