Σα βγεις στον πηγαιμό για την Ιθάκη,
να εύχεσαι νάναι μακρύς ο δρόμος,
γεμάτος περιπέτειες, γεμάτος γνώσεις.
Τους Λαιστρυγόνας και τους Κύκλωπας,
τον θυμωμένο Ποσειδώνα μη φοβάσαι,- Sa vgeis ston pigaimó gia tin Itháki,
na éfchesai nánai makrýs o drómos,
gemátos peripéteies, gemátos gnóseis.
Tous Laistrygónas kai tous Kýklopas,
ton thymoméno Poseidóna mi fovásai, - As you set out for Ithaka
hope the voyage is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them:
