An den horao pia sti zoi su
Mporis an thelis na mu to pis
S' oti dialekses tha 'me mazi su
Mi me lipase mi me skeftis

Ego pote de tha hatho
Sto telos tha sotho
Oso ki an pligotho oso ki an klapso

Ego pote de tha hatho
To dromo mu tha vro
Oso ki an hriasti na psakso

An den horao sta onira su
Ego kakia de su krato
Den thelo kseni tin ankalia su
Mporo na figo ki as s' agapo

Ego pote de tha hatho

Oso ki an pligotho oso ki an klapso
Ego pote de tha hatho

To dromo mu tha vro
Oso ki an hriasti na psakso
