Brè brè
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
La mia bella voleva venire 
voleva venire al campo con me.
Per pugnare qual prode soldato 
qual prode soldato al campo con me!
Mi diede un abbraccio, lasciommi partire: 
io voglio morire pugnando per te! 
Mi disse t'aspetto, non essere ingrato;
finchè sii tornato io prego per te!

La tua ciocca sul seno recando
io sfido la morte audace per tre!
Il tuo nastro dì e notte baciando
io vivo sperando sol vivo per te!
Pensando a te sola io sogno vittorie 
io sogno vittorie pugnando da Re!
E quando ritorno ricolmo di glorie 
le feste le glorie divido con te!
