Greek Lyrics

 

Σε γνωρίζω από την κόψη

του σπαθιού την τρομερή,

σε γνωρίζω από την όψη

που με βια μετράει την γη.

Απ’ τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη

των Ελλήνων τα ιερά,

και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,

χαίρε, ω χαίρε, Ελευθεριά!

Greek Lyrics with Latin Alphabet

Se gnorízo apó tin kópsi

tou spathioú tin tromerí,

se gnorízo apó tin ópsi,

pou me via metrái ti gi.

Ap' ta kókkala vgalméni

ton Ellínon ta ierá,

ke san próta andrioméni,

hére, o hére, eleftheriá!

English Translation

I shall always recognize you

by the dreadful sword you hold

as the Earth with searching vision

you survey with spirit bold

From the Greeks of old whose dying

brought to life and spirit free

now with ancient valour rising

let us hail you, oh Liberty!
