Viva l'Italia, Italy liberated
The Italy of the waltz, the Italy of coffee
Italy plundered and wounded to the heart
Viva l'Italia, Italy that doesn't die.


Viva l'Italia, betrayed,
Italy murdered by newspapers and cement,
Italy with her eyes shut in the dark night
Viva l'Italia, Italy unafraid.

Viva l'Italia, Italy in the midst of the sea,
Italy forgotten and Italy worth forgetting,
Italy half garden and half jail,
Viva l'Italia, all of Italy.

Viva l'Italia, the Italy that goes to work,
The Italy that despairs and the Italy that falls in love,
Italy half duty and half luck,
Viva l'Italia, Italy on the moon,

Viva l'Italia, Italy of the 12th of December,
Italy draped in flags, Italy naked as always,
Italy with her eyes open in the sad night,
Viva l'Italia, Italy that resists.
