Choir from the opera Alexander the Great by Panos Karousos

Alexander the Great statue in Germany 

(The army transfers Alexander from paradise to the palace)

(Paean of Alexander the Great)

Army:

Of the Macedonians, great hero

Of everyone, supreme bravery

With the Grecian torch, you brought

Glory in Asia

And in front of the Olympian god

Discarded and silent

She gave you her pure white breasts

Welcoming you as a liberator

In the heart of the paradise

In the secret altar of memory

You lit the flame that will always stay lit

Of brotherhood and peace

And the tragic humanity calls

From the Parthenon to the entire world

We stand thunderstruck, Alexander the Great

Immortal in dreams and in soul
