W gh! pou tis sklavias to aiwnio skotadi
epanw sou kylistike, san mia kakia vroxi
pou s'errixe ston vourko tis, se travixe ston Adi
kai kei mesa se ekleise xwris na lypithi.

W gh! pou se sklavwsane ta idia ta paidia sou,
auta, pou esy anathrepses me zilo kai storgi.
Touta twra egemisan m'aimata tin podia sou,
sou lerwsan tin opsi sou, sou'skysan tin morfi.

Se misisan: se lerwsan: s'ekapsan gia na paixoun:
tipote den sevastikan: ki auto sou to kormi,
to tylixan, kai tokanan dadi, gia na sou fexoun
stis apwleias tin odo, st'amartwlo strati.

W gh! pou den fovithikan tipote ta paidia sou
ki'oute pote thymithikan thriskeia kai Theo.
W gh! pou evlasfimisan ta Agia Iera sou,
ki oudepote to xeri tous aplwsan ston ftwxo,

w gh! pou ola ta kaka: mageia, kakia, misos
kai moxthiria fwliasan sto xwma sou mazi,
tha fexi kapote gia se, kai thanai tote isws
tis swtirias h stigmi, poly pio lamperi.

W gh! na! se lypithike kai erxetai konta sou
Autos, pou ola ta pathi sou tha diwxi stin stigmi.
Autos, pou'nai swtiria anagki sta paidia sou,
ilios, mes'ta skotadia sou ta fovera, w gh!

Kai twra w gh! gonatise! ki akou tis psalmwdies
pou ap'ta ourania stelnwnte gi'auton to erxomo
Kai twra w gh! stamatise ligo tis anomies
kai steilws' tin elpida sou s'auton ton Lytrwmo!

Giati...w gh!...o Lytrwtis gennithike stin ktisi
Autos pou einai temaxio tou idiou tou Theou
Autos pou twra erxetai emas na voithisi;
h gennisis tou monou mas Swtiros, tou Ihsou.
