Lyrics
Si per les albes veieu passar un vaixell
Besant les aigües del mar bressol dels déus
Feu-li senyal, que pugui veure on som
I caminar amb nosaltres cap al nord
Si no duu xarxa, ni orsa, ni timó
No penseu mai que ho hagi perdut tot
Que el poble sempre podrà inflar el velam
Per guanyar onades fetes de por i de sang
Vaixell que plores igual que plora el meu
Que duus la pena i el dol que porta el meu
Vaixell de Grècia, que no t’enfonsi el tro
Infla les veles que anem al mateix port
Lyrics translation
If by dawn you see spending a boat
Kissing the waters of the sea cradle of the gods
Make him sign, you can see where we are
And walk with us towards the north
If it carries no network, or orsa, or rudder
Don't you think ever that you have lost everything
We the people always can inflate the velam
To win waves made of fear and blood
Ship that you cry the same that cries my
That you bear the sorrow and the grief that brings my
Ship of Greece, that you don't sink the thunder
Inflate the sails that we go to the same port
