by Francesco dall' Ongaro (1808 - 1873)

Il brigidino
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
E lo mio damo se n'è ito a Siena,
M'ha porto il brigidin di due colori.
Il bianco gli è la fé che c'incatena,
Il rosso l'allegria de' nostri cuori.
Ci metterò una foglia di verbena
Ch'io stessa alimentai di freschi umori.

E gli dirò: che il rosso, il verde il bianco
Gli stanno bene con la spada al fianco.
E gli dirò: che il bianco, il verde, il rosso
Vuol dir che Italia il suo giogo l'ha scosso.
E gli dirò: che il rosso, il bianco il verde
Gli è un terno che si gioca e non si perde!
