Anthem Lyrics |
Fratelli d'Italia, l'Italia s'e' desta, dell'elmo di Scipio s'e cinta la testa. Dov'e la vittoria? Le porga la chioma, che schiava di Roma Iddio la creo'. Stringiamoci a coorte, siam pronti alla morte. Siam pronti alla morte, l'Italia chiamo'. Stringiamoci a coorte, siam pronti alla morte. Siam pronti alla morte, l'Italia chiamo', si'! Noi fummo da secoli calpesti, derisi, perche' non siam popoli, perche' siam divisi. Raccolgaci un'unica bandiera, una speme: di fonderci insieme gia' l'ora suono'. Uniamoci, uniamoci, l'unione e l'amore rivelano ai popoli le vie del Signore. Giuriamo far libero il suolo natio: uniti, per Dio, chi vincer ci puo'? |
Anthem Lyrics English |
Brothers of Italy, Italy has woken, bound Scipio's helmet Upon her head. Where is Victory? Let her bow down, Because as a slave of Rome God created her. Chorus: Let us join in a cohort, we are ready for death. We are ready for death, Italy has called! Yes! We were for centuries downtrodden, derided, because we are not one people, because we are divided. Let one flag, one hope gather us all. The hour has struck for us to unite. Chorus Let us unite, let us love one another, Union and love Reveal to the peoples The ways of the Lord. Let us swear to set free The land of our birth: United, by God, Who can overcome us? Chorus From the Alps to Sicily, Legnano is everywhere; Every man hath the heart and hand of Ferruccio The children of Italy Are all called Balilla; Every trumpet blast soundeth the Vespers. Chorus The mercenary swords Are feeble reeds. Already the Eagle of Austria Hath lost its plumes. The blood of Italy, the Polish blood It drank, along with the Cossack, But it burned its heart. Chorus Long live Italy, She has awoken from slumber, bound Scipio's helmet Upon her head. Where is Victory? Let her bow down, Because as a slave of Rome God created her. |
