Translation of the song Ἐλεύθεροι Πολιορκημένοι (Β' Σχεδίασμα, IX) artist Dionysios Solomos

Ἐτοῦτ' εἲν' ὕστερη νυχτιά· ὅλα τ' ἀστέρια βγάνει·

This is the final night· all the stars are out·

ὁλονυχτὶς ἀνέβαινε ἡ δέηση, τὸ λιβάνι.

all night long it rose, the prayer, the incense.

Στὰ μάτια καὶ στὸ πρόσωπο φαίνοντ' οἱ στοχασμοί τους·

In the eyes and in the face, are seen their meditations·

τοὺς λέει μεγάλα καὶ πολλὰ ἡ τρίσβαθη ψυχή τους.

it tells them great and many [things], their thrice-deep soul.

Ἀγάπη κι ἔρωτας καλοῦ τὰ σπλάχνα τοὺς τινάζουν·

Love and Eros good, flutter their insides·

τὰ σπλάχνα τους κι ἡ θάλασσα ποτὲ δὲν ἡσυχάζουν.

their insides and the sea, never do rest.

Γλυκειὰ κι ἐλεῦθερ' ἡ ψυχὴ σὰ νὰ 'τανε βγαλμένη,

Sweet and free the soul, as if it was released,

κι ὑψῶναν μὲ χαμόγελο τὴν ὄψη τὴ φθαρμένη.

and they were raising with smile, the timeworn face.
