Daemonia Nymphe - Nocturnal Hecate

Tekst piosenki:

[Εκάτης]

Είνοδίαν Έκάτην κλήιζω, τριοδίτιν,
ουρανίαν χθονίαν τε και ειναλίαν,

κροκόπεπλον, τυμβιδίαν, ψυχαίς νεκύων μετά βακχεύουσαν,
Περσείαν, φιλέρημον, νυκτερίαν, θηρόβρομον,

Είνοδίαν Έκάτην κλήιζω, τριοδίτιν,
ουρανίαν χθονίαν τε και ειναλίαν.


[Latin transcription:]

[English translation:]


[To Hekatê]

Hekatê of the Path, I invoke Thee, Lovely Lady of the Triple Crossroads,
Celestial, Chthonian, and Marine One, Lady of the Saffron Robe.
Sepulchral One, celebrating the Bakchic Mysteries among the Souls of the Dead,
Daughter of Persês, Lover of Solitude, rejoicing in deer.
Nocturnal One, Lady of the Dogs, invincible Queen.
She of the Cry of the Beast, Ungirt One, having an irresistible Form.
Bullherder, Keeper of the Keys of All the Universe, Mistress,
Guide, Bride, Nurturer of Youths, Mountain Wanderer.
I pray Thee, Maiden, to be present at our hallowed rites of initiation,
Always bestowing Thy graciousness upon the Boukolos.
