Viva l'Italia! [English translation]

Long live Italy, the liberated Italy,

The Italy of the waltz and the Italy of the coffee

The stolen Italy and the Italy stroke in its heart,

Long live Italy, the Italy that doesn't die.

Long live Italy, taken for betrayal,

The assassinated Italy from the papers and the cement,

The Italy with its dried eyes in the dark night,

Long live Italy, the Italy which has no fear

Long live Italy, the Italy which is in the middle of the sea,

The forgotten Italy and the Italy to forget,

The half garden and half prison Italy,

Long live Italy, the whole of Italy,

Long live Italy, the Italy that labors,

The Italy which despairs and the Italy which falls in love,

The half duty and half luck Italy,

Long live Italy, the Italy on the moon.

Long live Italy, the Italy of 12th December,

The Italy with the flags, the naked Italy like it is always,

The Italy with its open eyes in the sad night,

Long live Italy, the Italy that resists.
