Hymn to Liberty

The official lyrics of the National Anthem Greece

I know you from the blade
Of the sword, the terrifying,
I know you from the appearance,
Which, with force, measures the earth.

From the bones taken out,
the sacred of Greeks
And as first brave again,
Rejoice, oh rejoice, liberty!
And as first brave again,
Rejoice, oh rejoice, liberty!

The full lyrics of the National Anthem Greece

I know you from the blade
Of the sword, the terrifying,
I know you from the appearance,
Which, with force, measures the earth.

From the bones taken out,
the sacred of Greeks
And as first brave again,
Rejoice, oh rejoice, liberty!
And as first brave again,
Rejoice, oh rejoice, liberty!

There in you were living
bitter, ashamed,
And a mouth you were awaiting,
“Come again”, should it tell you.

Late came that day,
And it was all silent,
Because the bullying was overshadowing them
And the slavery was oppressing them.
Because the bullying was overshadowing them
And the slavery was oppressing them.

Unhappy one! Consolation
Alone was staying to tell you
Past greatnesses
And narrating them to mourn.

And it was awaiting, and it was awaiting
Freedom-loving speech.
One hand strikes the other
Out of the hopelessness.
One hand strikes the other
Out of the hopelessness.

And you were saying: when, oh when do I get
My head out of these lonely places?
And answering from above were
Cries, chains, voices.

Then you were raising your glance
Into the tears, blurry.
And into the clothing of yours was dripping blood,
A lot of Greek blood.
And into the clothing of yours was dripping blood,
A lot of Greek blood.

The national anthem Greece was adopted in 1966.
It was written by Dionýsios Solomós and composed by Nikólaos Mántzaros.
