Italian lyrics
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 creò.

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 creò.

Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l’Italia chiamò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l’Italia chiamò, sì!

English translation

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

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

Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.[4]
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!
