[Kolokotronis]

"Barbarians, of course."

You mean the Barbarians we are singing about here?

Here's the "non pc" translation:

O Lord, save thy people,
and bless thine inheritance!
Grant victory to the Orthodox Christians,
over the barbarians,
and by virtue of thy cross,
preserve thy habitation.

[MarkBsnr]

Actually the term barbarian originally meant those with beards ie those savages of the wilds bereft of the benefits of civilization. Consider that when dining on octopus with garlic lightly sauteed in olive oil accompanied by ouzo...hmmm, maybe I should become barbarian myself...
