Κικλήσκω Διόνυσον ἐρίβρομον, εὐαστῆρα,
πρωτόγονον, διφυῆ, τρίγονον, Βακχεῖον ἄνακτα,
ἄγριον, ἄρρητον, κρύφιον, δικέρωτα, δίμορφον,
κισσόβρυον, ταυρωπόν, ἀρήϊον, εὔϊον, ἁγνόν,
ὠμάδιον, τριετῆ, βοτρυοτρὸφον, ἐρνεσίπεπλον.
Εὐβουλεῦ, πολύβουλε, Διὸς καὶ Περσεφονείης
ἀρρήτοις λέκτροισι τεκνωθείς, ἄμβροτε δαῖμον·
κλῦθι μάκαρ φωνῆς, ἡδὺς δ’ ἐπίπνευσον ἐνηής,
εὐμενὲς ἦτορ ἔχων, σὺν ἐυζώνοισι τιθήναις.
I call Diónysos the loud-roarer, screaming Evoè!
First-Born, two-natured, thrice-born, Bacchic king,
Wild, mysterious, arcane, two-horned, two-shaped,
Bedecked in ivy, bull-faced, war-like, howling, holy,
Divine victim that feeds on raw meat,
feasted every other year,
vine-maker, bedecked in foliage.
Wise Eubuleus, Zeus and Persephone bore you
on a secret bed, immortal Daimon;
O blessed hear my voice and joyful and serene
inspire us with a kind heart,
together with your nurses with beautiful belts.
