Translation of the Italian National Anthem:
Italian Brothers,
Italy has awakened,
Scipio’s helmet
She has put on her head.
Where is the Victory?
Offer her the hair;
because slave of Rome
God created her. (x2)
Chorus:
Let us unite in cohort!
We are ready to die;
Italy called. (x2)
We have been for centuries
stamped on, and laughed at,
because we are not one people,
because we are divided.
Let’s unite under
one flag, one dream;
To melt together
Already the time has come.
Chorus (x2)
Let’s unite, let’s love each other;
The union and the love
Reveal to the people
God’s ways.
We swear to liberate the native soil:
United, for God,
Who can beat us?
Chorus (x2)
From the Alps to Sicily,
Everywhere is Legnano;
Every man of Ferruccio
has the heart and the hand;
the children of Italy
are called Balilla;
The sound of every church bell
calling for evening prayers.
Chorus (x2)
They are branches that bend
the sold swords;
Already the eagle of Austria
has lost its feathers.
the blood of Italy
and the Polish blood
Drank with Cossacks
But its heart was burnt.
Chorus (x2)
