- Brothers of Italy,
- Italy has arisen,
- With Scipio's helmet
- binding her head.
- Where is Victory?
- Let her bow down,
- For God has made her
- The slave of Rome.
- CHORUS
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- We for centuries
- Have been downtrodden and derided,
- Because we are not a people,
- Because we are divided.
- May one flag, one hope
- Bring us together;
- The hour has struck
- For us to join forces.
- CHORUS
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Let us unite and love one another;
- For union and love
- Reveal to peoples
- The way of the Lord
- Let us swear to free
- Our native soil;
- If we are united under God,
- Who can conquer us?
- CHORUS
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- From the Alps to Sicily,
- Everywhere it is Legnano;
- Every man has the heart
- and hand of Ferruccio.
- The children of Italy
- Are all called Balilla;
- Every trumpet blast
- Sounds the (Sicilian) Vespers.
- CHORUS
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Mercenary swords
- Are feeble reeds,
- And the Austrian eagle
- Has lost his plumes.
- This eagle that drunk the blood
- of Italy and Poland,
- together with the Cossack,
- But this has burned his gut.
- CHORUS
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
- Let us form a cohort,
- We are ready to die!
- We are ready to die!
- Italy has called!
