1
Sons of Laconia, under Lycurgian law
2
300 noblemen, ancient world in awe
3
Facing Xerxes might, no hope for victory
4
Still Persian blood coloured the Aegian Sea
5
Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
6
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
7
Lacedaemon's mothers gave birth to men,
8
Withstanding thousends again and again
9
None will behold the Eurotas Valley no more
10
This sacrifice needed to silence Persia's roar
11
No matter how fierce the spirit or mind
12
Blades striking, the kings' heart declined
13
Round he spun, and down he fell
14
No scream, no word, no cowardice yell
15
Symbolic sacrifice, all for the Hellenic land
16
Spartan codes of honour and inspiring guiding hand
17
No Spartiate soul left alive to tell
18
How bravely they fought, by treason they fell
19
Not a stone on their turf, nor a bone in their graves
20
They live on in history that immortally saves
21
Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
22
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie
