The greek transliteration of the lyrics are not in the exact spelling of the Greek words but in their sound; therefore not the usual transliteration of Greek into Greeklish is used, but a rather arbitrary phonetic writing. The consonants are mostly pretty straightforward, the vowels have most of the problems. Here is the convention that is used:
| A,a | is pronounced lice u in RUN |
| G,g | is pronounced like y in YARD only harder; a double "gg" is like the hard g, as is the combination "gk" |
| D,d | is like th in THIS |
| E,e | is like e in TEN |
| th | (theta) is like th in THINK |
| I,i | is like "ee" in SLEEP but shorter in length |
| O,o | is like o in MORE |
| X,x | is Chi, like a Kh. |
| Ou | is pronounced like "oo" in MOON, all other combinations of vowels should be read separately. |
