Translation
Bilingual
Well, Hector, do you aprove of my plan?
Yes, father, it has great merit
And what of my choice of ambassador?
Well, it's nothing if not brave
Oh, Aphrodite, seductive and mighty
We bow to the splendour of your love
Goddess Athena, the wisest demeanour
Shines like a beacon from above
One calls to the mind, the other the soul
The balance remains an even score
For to sacrifice one for the sake of the other
Will lead us to death, madness and war
O-oh
You're night and day, you're father and mother
You taught us from the start
To worship one and forsake the other
Is a head without a heart
Oh, we temper our pations with feelings we ration
So why do I fear, explain to me?
One infatuation brings death to the nation
Oh, wise Athena, help them see (Help them, help them, help them)
Your oracle calls from these very walls
It tells us of one who will not see
Not some mad messiah of destruction and fire
Just a love-starved youth who longs to be free
But still he can't see
Ah, you see it all with your mystical madness
But I just dream of playing my part
You council caution with meaningless words
Like a head without a heart
So as I leave, sister, please don't grieve
I've learned my part to letter
Don't be afraid
You take our hopes, our lives and our future
Oh, Paris, you should know better
