Athena, killer of Pallas

comander of many battles

to your honour we will fight

spear in the hand until we die

we meet here line for line

enemies at the mountains foot

hoplites of Athens, stand strong

hold the phalanx till the end

we'll defend our homes

we'll defend our families

no one will enter our land

as long as the phalanx stand

the enemies are coming up

a dark line at the horizon

hoplites of Athens, stand brave

hold your lines against the wave

we will stop their advance

we will stop their vicious lines

no one of them can harm us

as long as we fight as one

their troops brake at our lines

stabbed by Peloponnesian steel

hoplites of Athens, hail to you

the enemies spilled their blood

we have killed every single foe

we have killed everyone of them

as a man in your force

I fought for you and I swore
