Взбранной воеводе победительная,
яко избавльшеся от злых, 
благодарственная восписуем
Ти раби Твои, Богородице;
но яко имущая державу непобедимую,
от всяких нас бед свободи,
да зовем Ти: радуйся невесто неневестная.

Victorious triumphant leader (Greek chant)

Language: English after the Church Slavonic

Victorious triumphant leader, 
who has saved us from evil,
thanksgiving hymns are sung by 
your servants, to You, O Theotokos; 
[you] who have been given invincible power, 
from our troubles deliver us, 
we call to You: hail, bride-maiden.

Translators notes
Line 4: Theotokos = God-bearer, the one who gives birth to God
Line 7 ("bride-maiden" : literally, never-wed.
