The Singing Of The Italian
The Italian National Anthem
text by Goffredo Mameli
music by Michele Novaro
17 March 1861-17 March 2011
150 years of Italy
Brothers of Italy
Italy has awakened,
of the helmet of Scipio
has bound her head
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
as it does a slave to Rome
God has her (victory) created.

let us unite in legions,
we are ready to death
we are ready to death
Italy called
let us unite in legions,
we are ready to death
we are ready to death
Italy called
for centuries we are
trampled, derided,
because we are not one people,
because we are divided.
will unite us one
flag, one hope:
to be united
the time has already arrived
Let us unite and love one another,
the Union, and love
Show to peoples
the ways of the Lord
swear to free
native soil:
United for God
Who can defeat us?

we are ready to death
we are ready to death
Italy called
let us unite in legions,
we are ready to death
we are ready to death
Italy called
From the Alps to Sicily
Legnano (medieval battle) is everywhere
Every man has Ferruccio's (Francesco Ferrucci)
the heart and a hand
The children of Italy
Are all called Balilla (Young Genoese patriot)
The sound of each bell
announced Vespers. (revolt of the Sicilian Vespers)
are reeds that bend
swords sold (mercenaries):
already the eagle of Austria
has lost the feathers
The blood of Italy,
the Polish blood
drank with the Cossack (Russian)
But it burned her heart.
let us unite in legions,
we are ready to death
we are ready to death
Italy called
let us unite in legions,
we are ready to death
we are ready to death
