    Here are the lyrics as they are being sung:
    Ποικιλοθρόν’
    Ἀθάνατ’ Ἀφρόδιτα,
    Παῖ Διός, δολόπλοκε,
    Λίσσομαί σε·
    Μή μ’ ἄσαισι
    Μήτ’ ὀνίαισι
    Δάμνα, ποτνία, θῦμον,
    Ἄλλα τυίδ’ ἔλθ’,
    Αἰ πότε κἀτέρωτα,
    Τᾶς ἐμᾶς αὔδας
    ἄϊοισα πήλοι, ἔκλυες,
    Πάτρος δὲ δόμον
    Λίποισα χρύσιον
    Ἦλθες, ἄρμ’ ὐπαι(σ)δεύξαισα,
    Κάλοι δέ σ’ ἆγον
    Ὤκεες στροῦθοι
    Πέρι γᾶς μέλαινας,
    Πύκνα διννέντες
    Πτέρ’ ἀπ’ ὠράνω
    Αἴθερος δία μέσσω,
    Αἶψα δ’ ἐξίκοτο·
    Σὺ δ’, ὦ Μάκαιρα,
    Μηδιαίσα(ι)σα
    Ἀθανατῷ προσώπῳ, ἦρε’
    Ὄττι δηὖτε πέπονθα,
    Κὤττι δηὖτε κάλημι,
    Κὤττι μοι μάλιστα
    Θέλω γενέσθαι
    Μαίνολᾳ θύμωϊ·
    «Τίνα δηὖτε πείθω
    Σ’ ἄγην ἐς σὰν φιλότατα,
    Τίς σ’, ὦ Ψάπφ’, ἀδικήει;
    Καὶ γὰρ αϊ φεύγει,
    Τάχεως διώξει,
    Αἰ δὲ δῶρα μὴ δέκεται,
    Ἄλλα δωσεῖ,
    Αἰ δὲ μὴ φιλεῖ,
    Ταχέως φιλήσει,
    Καὶ οὐκ ἐθέλοις».
    Ἔλθε μοι καὶ νῦν,
    Χαλεπᾶν δὲ λῦσον
    Ἐκ μεριμνᾶν,
    Ὄσσα δέ μοι τελέσσαι
    θῦμος ἰμέρρει,
    Τέλεσον· σὺ δ᾽ αὔτα
    Σύμμαχος ἔσσο.
    The linebreaking and stanza division is according to the music. As you can see, it doesn't correspond to the stanza and line divisions according to the meter. Even the text itself is inaccurate. There are a few words that should be elided but aren't. In some cases, the music suggests a stress placement different from the correct accent placement, hence the accent shifts in this text. One or two sounds are incorrect. The most glaring flaw though is the line Καὶ οὐκ ἐθέλοις, where, apart from the solution of κωὐκ -> καὶ οὐκ, it appears the final -a of ἐθέλοισα was just somehow forgotten. Another big thing is how a syllable is missing in the (metrically identified) line σ' ἄγην ἐς σὰν φιλότατα, τίς τ', ὦ, where the initial syllable was cut out.
    I do like the music and arrangement though. It's interesting that the tempo of 7/8 was chosen, a very unusual one.

      *This translation is actually of «Καὶ οὐκ ἐθέλοισα», which is what should be read here. Someone apparently forgot a final -a while singing.
      NOTE There are several other "errors" in the above text, not last of them the seemingly random line and stanza division. All of those are explained by what is done in the video - specifically, the tune doesn't care about the meter at all, and sometimes puts strong beats where there is no accent mark, leaving an actual mark on a nearby weak beat, which was rendered as a wrong accent mark.

    Safo, segundo Platão, a décima musa, grande na poesia, na música e na dança. Apesar disto os milênios - e o fundamentalismo da Igreja Católica que se impôs no final do Império Romano Ocidental -, destruíram a maior parte de sua obra, uma perda irreparável, e um crime contra as artes. Aqui eu protesto contra todo fundamentalismo! 👎👎👎

      I repost here my comment to the video, adding a translation from a reply to another comment. I will not provide a transliteration, which is probably what you mean by "romaji". Note that "romaji" is specifically a romanization of Japanese, and this is Aeolic Ancient Greek, nothing to do with Japanese.
