Segnoriso apo tin Kopsi tou spathiou tin tromeri;

Segnoriso apo tin opsi pou me via metra tin yi.
Ap ta Kokkala vyalmeni ton ellinon ta iera
Ke san prot' anthriomeni haire o hair'eleftheria.
Ke san prot' anthriomeni haire o hair'eleftheria,
Ke san prot' anthriomeni haire o hair'eleftheria.

English Translation

I shall always recognise 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!


Adopted in 1864
The National Anthem is the same as that of Greece
Words by Dionysios Solomós (1798-1857)
Music by Nikolaos Mantzaros (1795-1873)
