Original:
ἰητῆρα νόσων Ἀσκληπιὸν ἄρχομ' ἀείδειν,
υἱὸν Ἀπόλλωνος, τὸν ἐγείνατο δῖα Κορωνὶς
Δωτίῳ ἐν πεδίῳ, κούρη Φλεγύου βασιλῆος,
χάρμα μέγ' ἀνθρώποισι, κακῶν θελκτῆρ' ὀδυνάων.
καὶ σὺ μὲν οὕτω χαῖρε, ἄναξ: λίτομαι δέ σ' ἀοιδῇ. (x2)

Transliteration:
Intira noson Asklepion archom aedin
eion Apollonos, ton egeinato dia Koronis
dotio en pedio koeri plegeoe vasilios
charma mag anthropoisi kakon thelktir odenaon
kai su men oeto chaire, anaz: litomai de s' aoidi. (x2)

Translation:
Of the healer of sicknesses, Asclepius, I begin to sing,
the son of Apollo, whom divine Koronis bore
in the Dotian plane, daughter of King Phlegyas,
a joy among men, of evil pains the enchanter.
And so I hail you, lord: I entreat you with song. (x2)

This song has helped heal me in so many ways Over the years. Working in Healthcare hasn't been easy since the onset of covid and I can't count how often I found solace in the song. I still sing it when I feel overwhelmed or just in need of Apollons kharis.
