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
Stringia moci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
(repeat)
L'Italia chiamò
Stringia moci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
(repeat)
L'Italia chiamò, sì
(repeat entire song)
English Translation
Italian Brothers,
Italy has awakened,
She has wreathed her head
With the helmet of Scipio.
Where is Victory?
She bows her head to you,
You, whom God created
As the slave of Rome.
Let us band together,
We are ready to die,
(repeat)
Italy has called us.
(repeat previous four lines)
(repeat entire song)
Lyrics: Goffredo Mameli, 1847 Music: Michele Novaro, 1847 Adopted: 1946
