È già nostro nemico [English translation]

1

The Carthaginian is our enemy already,

because he who prepares to wage war

- even if he isn’t holding a weapon in his hand yet,

but is ready to strike, to strike suddenly -

is our enemy already.

He is our enemy already.

1. This song was inspired by Cato the Censor (Marcus Porcius Cato), who strenuously supported the plan of completely destroying Carthage, because they were a threat to the Roman Empire; this started the Third Punic War.
