English translation

Thus spoke the woman

According to the Representative of the Republic, tyrranical times are dawning. We must trust her:

"We must remember the small things, the big things, the everyday things. As our strength grows less, our mind will be determined, our heart will be bolder, our courage will be greater.

We must remember what the woman said unto the man: The seas are ever-dark, but your mind should not be shrouded; shrouded like the sky by the darkest clouds. Even the darkest clouds crack. Your mind, unlike the clouds, should not crack.

Thus spoke the woman.

There are men and women carrying abominable actions in their hearts. Having done tyrranical things, they shan’t do it to us! They have done it willingly, not involuntarily! Remain strong, remain proud, remain uncracked, my people."

Netagin

Translation

Thus spoke the Lady

From the defender of democracy; an era of cruelty is coming. Let us hear her:

"Let us remember the small things, the big things, the mundane things. The more our strength diminishes, all the more must our minds become firm, our hearts endeavor, and our courage grow.

"Let us remember what our Lady said to all the people: 'Though the ocean may forever be dark, your mind must not be darkened like the cloud-obscured sky. Your mind must become illuminated, more so than the clouds.'"

"Thus spoke the Lady.

"Some carry abominable deeds within their hearts, may these atrocities not befall us! They happen without any intention of man! We hope that our comrades remain strong, proud and enlightened."

Translation

Let it be Remembered

It is said that we leaders must keep democracy through this land's dark times.

The day may come when weakness comes over this land. [But] is it not most dark before the sun[rise]?

Death may come for man and woman, yet Earth remains. So many people are born and the darkness passes away [from us] like clouds.

It is said that they know nothing, those who do not see this.

So if the people be strong and noble then with time will come peace

Retranslated text

As antentizoua

Au antou akanter anenthrystas a ouranas ai hari tendouri an isounta.

Khamasterrhoua ai kai an lyzia oun astaniou. Men anatyzoua oskhyranta manai amerai?

I kazani khamasterrhoua ati anderrhi kai thyrrhi, i gias kanterrhoua. I harias skhazouas ati gi, i taoukhai kasatisa ai mneoukta. Antir as tenthrisa, antir en athe tenthrisa.

I haria orekhonta kai nobhoulanta, i khamasterrhoua nei tandei endemi.

English translation

May this be recognised.

According to all, the leader is obligated to defend the rule of the masses during our difficult times.

Come the sun when the weakness is over this land. Isn't it at its darkest before the day?

If death comes for the man and the woman, then the earth remains. If many people add to the earth, then the darkest of clouds drift far away. Those who cannot see that, cannot see what they are themselves.

If the people is strong and noble, then come to us the times of peace.
