起來，希臘的兒男!
Sons of the Greeks, arise!
光榮時刻已到來，
The glorious hour’s gone forth,
要效法我們祖先，
And, worthy of such ties,
不枉作英豪后代!
Display who gave us birth.
起來，希臘的兒男!
Sons of Greeks! let us go
揮戈向敵人迎戰，
In arms against the foe,
讓他們腥臭的血川
Till their hated blood shall flow
像河水在腳下奔竄!
In a river past our feet.
讓我們傲然抗拒
Then manfully despising
土耳其暴君的強權，
The Turkish tyrant’s yoke,
讓祖國眼見她兒女
Let your country see you rising,
站起來，砸碎鎖鏈!
And all her chains are broke.
先王和先哲的英靈
Brave shades of chiefs and sages,
來檢閱這場決戰!
Behold the coming strife!
希臘的列祖列宗
Hellenes of past ages,
聽到號角的呼喚，
Oh, start again to life!
快從墳墓中蘇生，
At the sound of my trumpet, breaking
參加我們的戰斗!
Your sleep, oh, join with me!
要攻克七山之城，
And the seven-hill’d city seeking,
奪回我們的自由!
Fight, conquer, till we’re free.
起來，希臘的兒男!
Sons of Greeks! let us go
揮戈向敵人迎戰，
In arms against the foe,
讓他們腥臭的血川
Till their hated blood shall flow
像河水在腳下奔竄!
In a river past our feet.
醒來吧，斯巴達!今天
Sparta, Sparta, why in slumbers
你怎能高臥不起?
Lethargic dost thou lie?
同你的老伙伴雅典
Awake, and join thy numbers
快聯合起來抗敵!
With Athens, old ally!
把歷代謳歌的主君
Leonidas recalling,
列奧尼達斯喚回，
That chief of ancient song,
他曾拯救過你們，
Who saved ye once from falling,
何等剛強而可畏!
The terrible! the strong!
扼守在溫泉險關，
Who made that bold diversion
他英勇牽制敵寇，
In old Thermopylae,
同波斯軍隊鏖戰，
And warring with the Persian
讓祖國得保自由;
To keep his country free;
他率領三百勇士，
With his three hundred waging
戰斗中始終挺立，
The battle, long he stood,
像威猛暴怒的雄獅，
And like a lion raging,
在滔滔血海中沉溺。
Expired in seas of blood.
起來，希臘的兒男!
Sons of Greeks! let us go
揮戈向敵人迎戰，
In arms against the foe,
讓他們腥臭的血川
Till their hated blood shall flow
像河水在腳下奔竄!
In a river past our feet.
