🇬🇷 Thoúrios is a patriotic hymn, work of Rigas Velestinlis. It was writen in 1796 and was sang by Velestinlis in gatherings with the aim of rousing the Greeks against their Ottoman opressors.

🇬🇷 Greek Lyrics:
Ως πότε παλικάρια, θα ζούμε στα στενά,
μονάχοι σαν λιοντάρια, στις ράχες στα βουνά;
Σπηλιές να κατοικούμε, να βλέπουμε κλαδιά,
να φεύγωμ’ απ’ τον κόσμον, για την πικρή σκλαβιά;
Να χάνωμεν αδέλφια, πατρίδα και γονείς,
τους φίλους, τα παιδιά μας, κι όλους τους συγγενείς;
Κάλλιο είναι μιάς ώρας ελεύθερη ζωή,
παρά σαράντα χρόνια, σκλαβιά και φυλακή.
🇬🇧 English Translation:
For how long lands, will we live in the straights?
Alone like lions, on the backs on the mountains?
To be living in caves, to be seeing branches,
To leave the world, for the bitter slavery?
To lose our brothers, fatherland and parents,
Our friends, our children, and all of the relatives?
An hour of freedom is better,
Than of forty years of slavery and prison.
