Greek National Anthem

Εθνικός Υμνος

Σε γνωρίζω από την κόψη
Του σπαθιού την τρομερή
Σε γνωρίζω από την όψη
Που με βια μετρά τη γη

Απ' τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη
Των Ελλήνων τα ιερά
Και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη
Χαίρε ω χαίρε ελευθεριά
------

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!
------

English Translations

I recognize you from the dreadful
edge of the sword
I recognize you from the countenance
which surveys the earth with force

Risen from the sacred bones
of the Greeks
and, valiant as before,
hail, oh hail, liberty!
---
Poetic

I shall always recognize you
by the dreadful sword you hold,
as the earth, with searching vision,
you survey with spirit bold.

'Twas the Greeks of old whose dying
brought to birth our spirit free,
now, with ancient valour rising,
let us hail you, oh liberty!

By Rudyard Kipling (1918)

We knew thee of old,
O, divinely restored
By the lights of thine eyes,
And the light of thy Sword.

From the graves of our slain,
Shall thy valour prevail,
As we greet thee again,
Hail, Liberty! Hail!

Greece!Mother of Western civilization! From Spain my support for these difficult times. It is the turn of the Greek people to rise up against this farce of current political and economic system, it's time to say NO to the theft of national sovereignty by foreign gobernments, to say NO to thieves banks, to say NO to social engineering, to say NO to these wretches who govern us without our permission.Greeks now or never! Prove that you are the same people who fought in termopilae and petra!

This is for all the ignorant people that wrote nasty comments on this page! You probably don't have any education and any respect for others ! You have no idea about political games and World Order so you post none sence on peoples pages! The Greek people didn't take your money the Banks did. Wake up your turn will come shortly. And i can't wait to see your reactions then! For you to be able to understand what's going on you have to learn the passed first. Zitw i ellada zitw o ellinismos!!!
