Greek lyrics
- Σὲ γνωρίζω ἀπὸ τὴν κόψι
- τοῦ σπαθιοῦ τὴν τρομερή,
- σὲ γνωρίζω ἀπὸ τὴν ὄψι
- ποὺ μὲ βία μετράει τὴ γῆ.
- Ἀπ’ τὰ κόκκαλα βγαλμένη
- τῶν Ἑλλήνων τὰ ἱερά,
- καὶ σὰν πρῶτα ἀνδρειωμένη,
- χαῖρε, ὦ χαῖρε, Ἐλευθεριά!
Transliteration
- Se gnorízo apó tin kópsi
- tu spathiú tin tromerí,
- se gnorízo apó tin ópsi,
- pu me vía metrái ti yi.
- Ap' ta kókkala vgalméni
- ton Ellínon ta ierá,
- ke san próta andhrioméni,
- khére, o khére, Eleftheriá!
Trnaslation
- I shall always recognise you
- by the dreadful sword you hold,
- as the earth, with searching vision,
- will rule, with spirit bold.
- it was the Greeks of old whose dying
- brought to birth our spirit free,
- now, with ancient valour rising,
- let us hail you, oh liberty!
