Greek National Anthem
Σε γνωρίζ' από την κόψη του σπαθιού την τρομερή, σε γνωρίζ' από την όψη Που με βιά μετράει τη γη. Απ' τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη των Ελλήνων τα ιερά, και σαν πρώτ' ανδρειωμένη Χαίρε! Ω Χαίρε, Ελευθεριά Απ' τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη των Ελλήνων τα ιερά, και σαν πρώτ' ανδρειωμένη Χαίρε! Ω Χαίρε, Ελευθεριά Απ' τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη των Ελλήνων τα ιερά, και σαν πρώτ' ανδρειωμένη Χαίρε! Ω Χαίρε, Ελευθεριά
