Greetings, my Queen.

Born to the King and Queen of the world.
Child of the greatest heritage.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

Young virgin, prim and proper.
By the wiles of young Zeus impressed.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

To the wedding bed were you taken.
One day to become Queen of Heaven.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

In war did you stand.
By his, your husband’s, side.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

Against your father.
Against your mother.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

In victory were you enthroned.
In victory did you shine.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

By love were you enthralled.
By love were you betrayed.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

Your honor in shreds.
Your anger violent and sharp.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

Hera’s glory to bear your wrath.
Hera’s glory to pay the price.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

But kind are you as well.
Forgiving at the end.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

Hera’s glory before you.
Hebe’s hand his to have.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.

Peace and tranquility again restored.
The Queen of Heaven enthroned.

Χαιρετισμοί, η βασίλισσά μου.
