Μες στου Αιγαίου πρόβαλε να δεις
Μες στου Αιγαίου, Aιγαίου τα νησιά
Α μες στου αιγαίου τα νησιά αγγέλοι φτερουγίζουν
Και μέσα στο φτε- πρόβαλε αστρί μου
Και μέσα στο φτε- στο φτερούγισμα
Α και μέσα στο φτερούγισμα τριαντάφυλλα σκορπίζουν
Αιγαίο μου γα- βοήθα παναγιά μου
Αιγαίο μου γα- μου γαλήνεψε
Ε Αιγαίο μου γαλήνεψε τα γαλανά νερά σου
Να ‘ρθούνε τα ξε- μπρόβαλε να δεισ
Να ‘ρθούνε τα ξε- τα ξενάκια σου
Α να ρθούνε τα ξενάκια σου στα ποθητά νησιά σου
Ροδόσταμο να - μπρόβαλε αστρί μου
Ροδόσταμο να - να γίνουνε
Α ροδόσταμο να γίνουνε Αιγαίου τα νερά σου

In the Aegean, look, so you can see
In the Aegean, the Aegean Islands
And in the Aegean Islands angels are flapping their wings
And in their wings, look, my star shone
And in their wings, their flapping
And in their flapping, roses are being scattered
My Aegean, help me, holy mother mine
My Aegean mine, calm down
Oh my Aegean, calm your blue waters
Let the strangers come; look, so you can see
Let your little strangers come
Oh, let your little strangers come to your desired islands
Rosebud, may it shine, my star
Rosebud, may it become
Oh rosebud, may your waters become Aegean
