Se tu la reggi al volo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se tu la reggi al volo,
su la Tarpea pendice
l’aquila vincitrice
sempre tornar vedrò;
Breve sarà per lei
tutto il cammin del sole,
e allora i Regni miei col ciel dividerò.

I shall always see the victorious eagle
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I shall always see the victorious eagle
return to alight upon the Tarpeian Rock
if you are the one who keeps it aloft.
The sun's course across the sky
shall be shorter than the eagle's,
and I shall thus divide my realm
with Heaven.
