Il Canto degli Italiani

Lyrics - Italian

(Melody by Michele Novaro, 1818-1885, Lyrics by Goffredo Mameli, 1847)

Fratelli d’Italia,
l’Italia s’è desta,
dell’elmo di Scipio
s’è cinta la testa.
Dov’è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creĂ².

Refrain
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l’Italia chiamĂ².
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l’Italia chiamĂ²! Sì!

English Translation - The Song of the Italians

Brothers of Italy,
Italy has woken,
Bound Scipio’s helmet
Upon her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
For God created her
Slave of Rome.

Refrain
Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called.
Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called! Yes!
