Pipe song
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Eidés ear, cheimōna, theros, taut'esti diòlu
ēlios autos edy, kai nyz ta tetagmen apechei
mē kopia zētein pothen ēlios ē pothen ydor,
alla pothen to myron kai tus stephanus agorasēs.
Aulei moi.

Krēnas autorytus melitos treis ēthelon echein, 
pente galaktorytus, oinu deka, dōdeka myru, 
kai dyo pēgaiōn ydatōn kai treis chioneōn
paida kata krēnēn kai parthenon ēthelon echein.
Aulei moi.

Lydios aulos emoi ta de Lydia paigmata lyras,
kai Phrygios kalamos ta de taurea tympana poneit
auta zōn asai t'éamai, kai, otan apothano
aulon yper kephalēs thete moi, para possi de lyran.
Aulei moi.
