Parakseni ki' alokoti i agapi
Elpidha ston anemon to horo
Panemorfi thea sto stavrodhromi
Arheon pandodhinamon filon

Sto stoma tu lau, mikri patridha
Filevis mia leksi tromeri
To ksero kapu mesa su antehi
I asinori pakosmia areti

Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Alithia tu pandos
Anastasi fotos
Tis aniksis horos i eleftheria

Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Sti proeonia ti yi
Yia tin arhegoni i kravyi
Tis niotis i yiorti i eleftheria
Yenesis, Yenesis

Sti dhisi tu eona, mia apati
Ipsonete, horizi, thieri
Ma kapia ali alithia mas enoni
I pisti stin irini, andohi

Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Alithia tu pandos
Anastasi fotos
Tis aniksis horos i eleftheria

Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Sti proeonia ti yi
Yia tin arhegoni i kravyi
Tis niotis i yiorti i eleftheria

Yenesis (I Yenesis)
Sti proeonia ti yi
Yia tin arhegoni i kravyi
Tis niotis i yiorti i eleftheria
Yenesis, Yenesis

Strange and peculiar love
Hope on the dance of the wind
Beautiful goddess at the crossroads
Of ancient omnipotent races

In the mouths of your people, little homeland
You have placed a formidable word
I know, holding firm somewhere inside you
Is that boundless, global virtue

Genesis (Genesis)
Universal truth
Resurrection of light
Spring's dance of freedom

Genesis (Genesis)
On the prehistoric Earth
The primordial cry
The celebration of youth and freedom

At the sunset of the century, an illusion
Arises, separates, divides
But another truth unites us
Belief in peace, resistance

Genesis (Genesis)
Universal truth
Resurrection of light
Spring's dance of freedom

Genesis (Genesis)
On the prehistoric Earth
The primordial cry
The celebration of youth and freedom

Genesis (Genesis)
On the prehistoric Earth
The primordial cry
The celebration of youth and freedom
Genesis, Genesis
