Ἀσίας ἀπὸ γᾶς
ἱερὸν Τμῶλον ἀμείψασα θοάζω
Βρομίῳ πόνον ἡδὺν
κάματόν τ᾽ εὐκάματον , Βάκ-
χιον εὐαζομένα .
τίς ὁδῷ τίς ὁδῷ ; τίς ;
μελάθροις ἔκτοπος ἔστω , στόμα τ᾽ εὔφη-
μον ἅπας ἐξοσιούσθω :
τὰ νομισθέντα γὰρ αἰεὶ
Διόνυσον ὑμνήσω .

Out of the land of Asia ,
down from holy Tmolus ,
speeding the service of god ,
for Bromius we come !
Hard are the labors of god ;
hard , but his service is sweet .
Sweet to serve , sweet to cry :
Bacchius ! Evohe !
-- You on the streets !
-- You on the roads !
-- Make way !
-- Let every mouth be hushed . Let no ill-omened words
profane your tongues .
-- Make way ! Fall back !
-- Hush .
-- For now I raise the old , old hymn to Dionysus .

We came from the East ,
from holy Mount Tmolus ,
to work the sweet work
for the Lord of Rumbling Thunder .
Praise to Lord Bacchus !
Who stops us , who , who , who ?
Go now , away with you , indoors , go .
Keep your words sacred , keep your mouth clean .
We will sing the eternal ritual song
for Dionysus .
