Greece
Greece floats on the surface of the great sea
Like a shining moon
Greece visits the world
dispenser of wisdom
With the blooming flowers of democracy
Greece is a country without borders
For all the peoples of the earth enjoy
By the torrents and rivers of the ideas of its great philosophers.
Greece never colonized people
But she did it constantly
Transmitting the light of knowledge and culture
For all the peoples of the world
Greece… my beloved country
To you, my beloved country, Greece, I sing
To you, my soul, I offer
My feelings of admiration, for your exciting legendary history
You are my azure dream,
who accompanies me in my life.
My sight travels far with you
Roaming in your charming sea
I dedicate this song of the wind,
To the gulls of the Aegean Sea.
With you, my beloved,
I travel on the long journey of my life
Singing an anthem of your dazzling beauty.
Thank you dear Honorable poetess Eva PetropoulounLianou for the invitation
