O Cyprus

Enchanted

With rose-scented air

A warm breeze is my longing

For the lover betrayed

O evening star glorious

In Hellenic skies

Kindle a fire

To comemmorate me

O you waves

Breaking by the shore

At the feet of Odysseus

The traveller

Cunning

The suns you are

Of lightless nights

In your barques

Skyward carry

Homeward

The exile

With fire in his blood

Shall you await my return

Like the unfaithful lover's

Repentence?

Or shall your name from your lips

Perish?

O light your candle

Restless night

In Eastern skies

The crescend's splendour

Is dreaming Alexander's dream

United Cyprus

One-hearted manifold

Mother of heroes

Scarred soil of which Makariou's tree

Has grown into the skies

O mother of peoples

At the dawn of mankind

Earth sacred by the serene rest

Of Hala Sultan

Touched

By the prophet's tenderness

O earth awakened to life

By the breath of Lazarou

Arisen

Phoenix-like

At the messiah's word

O land between boundaries

Boundless you shall be

As time and soul themselves

Are boundless

At the dawn

Of your own resurrection

From wars

When  your sons and your daughters

Shall speak their own word and prayer

From sister to sister

From brother to brother

In the hour of true liberation
