Original lyrics

The Black Earth Drinks

ἡ γὴ μέλαινα πίνει, πίνει δὲ δένδρεα δ' αὐτήν [x2]

πίνει δὲ δένδρεα [x3], δένδρεα δ' αὐτήν

πίνει δὲ δένδρεα [x3], δ' αὐτήν

τί μοι μάχεσθ’ ἑταῖροι, θέλοντι πίνειν;

τί μοι μάχεσθ’ ἑταῖροι, καὐτῷ θέλοντι πίνειν;

ἡ γὴ μέλαινα πίνει, πίνει θάλασσ’ ἀναύρους [x2]

πίνει θάλασσα [x3], θαλασσαν

πίνει θάλασσα [x3] ἀναύρους

τί μοι μάχεσθ’ ἑταῖροι, θέλοντι πίνειν;

τί μοι μάχεσθ’ ἑταῖροι, καὐτῷ θέλοντι πίνειν;

ἡ γὴ μέλαινα πίνει, ὁ δ ἥλιος θάλασσαν [x2]

ὁ δ ἥλιος θάλασσαν [x3], θάλασσαν

τί μοι μάχεσθ’ ἑταῖροι, θέλοντι πίνειν;

τί μοι μάχεσθ’ ἑταῖροι, καὐτῷ θέλοντι πίνειν;

English

Translation

The black earth drinks,

then the trees drink it,

the sea drinks torrents,

the sun drinks the sea,

the moon drinks the sun,

Why are you arguing with me, my friends,

when I want to drink too?

Ubisoft changed the hymn so it will fit more to a song and the translation seems confusing so i did the translation of the original instead.
