Ο ήλιος εσταμάτησε πάνω από την Ελλάδα
Και τις αχτίνες έριξε σε όλα τα νησιά της
Και μαριονέτες τα κανε κι απ’ τις ηλιοαχτίδες
Κρεμάστηκαν και στήσανε χορό και πανηγύρι.
Με μουσικούς τα κύματα, μαέστρους τα καΐκια
Τους γλάρους για τραγουδιστές, γοργόνες ξελογιάστρες
Να τραγουδούν τις δόξες μας τα κατορθώματα μας
Και να χορεύουν τα νησιά χωρίς να σταματάνε.
Κι ο κόσμος να ξεχύνεται να δη το πανηγύρι
Και να χορεύουνε κι αυτοί με πήδους και με γέλια
Σ’ ακρογιαλιές χρυσόξανθες και ηλιολουσμένες.
Οι γλάροι να φωνάζουνε σαν τους τραγουδιστάδες
Και να χορεύουν τα παιδιά μαζί με τους μεγάλους
Και να γελούν, και να γελά και ο Θεός ακόμα
Παράδεισο την έκανε την όμορφή μας χώρα!

Μα και στις πόλεις, τα χωριά εστήσαν πανηγύρι.
Εφύσαγε ο άνεμος κι έπαιρνε το τραγούδι
Το σκόρπαγε σ’ ακρογιαλιές, σε κάμπους σε λαγκάδια
Που βόσκανε τα πρόβατα, τα γίδια κι αγελάδες
Κι όλα μαζί τραγούδαγαν μαζί με τις γοργόνες
Τους γλάρους, για τις ομορφιές του επίγειου παραδείσου.

Parthenon Marbles

Who is talking about marbles?
These are not marbles any more.
These are the flesh and blood
Of our forefathers, who fought
For centuries to preserve.

Who is talking about marbles?
These are not marbles any more.
These are the soul of a nation
Who gave birth to Democracy,
And fought to preserve it.

We all, the flesh and blood
Of the Hellenic Nation, plead
Oh Great Britain, please
Give us back our stolen soul.
Who is talking about marbles?
These are not marbles any more.
