Superbo di me stesso
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Superbo di me stesso
andrò portando in fronte
quel caro nome impresso,
come mi sta nel cor.
Dirà la Grecia poi
che fur comuni a noi
l'opre, i pensier, gli affetti,
e al fine i nomi ancor.

Proud of myself
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Proud of myself
I will go, carrying before me
that beloved name, engraved
as it is on my heart.
Greece will recognize later
that which was common between us:
our work, our thoughts, our affections,
and finally, as before, our names.
