Italian National Anthem Lyrics

Italy

Inno di Mameli
(Hymn of Mameli)

Original Italian Words

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

Chè schiava di Roma

Iddio la creò

Stringiamci a coorte

Siam pronti alla morte

(repeat)

L'Italia chiamò

Stringiamci a coorte

Siam pronti alla morte

(repeat)

L'Italia chiamò, sì

(repeat entire song)

[English translation:]

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.

Chorus:

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!

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,

For union and love

Reveal to the people

The ways of the Lord.

Let us swear to set free

The land of our birth:

United, for God,

Who can overcome us?

Chorus

From the Alps to Sicily,

Legnano is everywhere;

Every man has the heart

and hand of Ferruccio

The children of Italy

Are all called Balilla;

Every trumpet blast

sounds the Vespers.

Chorus

Mercenary swords,

they're feeble reeds.

The Austrian eagle

Has already lost its plumes.

The blood of Italy

and the Polish blood

It drank, along with the Cossack,

But it burned its heart.
