National Anthem: Imnos pros tin Eleftherian

With Greek characters:

Σε γνω�ίζω από την κόψη,
του σπαθιο� την τ�ομε�ή,
Σε γνω�ίζω από την όψη,
που με βια μετ�ά[ει] τη[ν] γη.

Απ' τα κόκαλα βγαλμένη,
των Ελλήνων τα ιε�ά,
Και σαν π�ώτα ανδ�ειωμένη [or -μένοι],
χαί�ε, ω χαί�ε Ελευθε�ιά.

Transcribed to Latin characters:

Se gnorízo apó tin kópsi,
tou spathioú tin tromerí,
Se gnorízo apó tin ópsi,
pou me viá metrá[i] ti[n] yi.

Ap' ta kókala vgalméni,
ton Ellínon ta ierá,
Ke san próta andrioméni,
hére, o hére, Eleftheriá!

A loose English translation by Rudyard Kipling (1918):

We knew thee of old,
Oh, divinely restored,
By the lights of thine eyes,
And the light of thy Sword.

From the graves of our slain,
Shall thy valour prevail,
As we greet thee again,
Hail, Liberty! Hail!

A more literal 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!

YAY! - Ok... I'm just behaving... er... stupidly?
Nah! It's perfectly normal for someone to post the Greek National Anthem in their blog...
:D

I'm just filled with euphoria... (Did you know that the word euphoria comes from the GREEK word euphoros?)
*just trying to irritate people*

okok...
Basically this post makes no sense... just like my others :D

Remember: Radhika rules:D:D:D
