Con sì bel nome in fronte
combatterai più forte.
Rispetterà la sorte
di Roma un figlio in te.
 
Libero vivi e quando
tel nieghi il fato ancora,
almen come si mora
apprenderai da me.

With such a glorious name across your brow

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

With such a glorious name across your brow,
you shall fight more vigorously.
Fortune shall regard you
as a true son of Rome.

Live free. When Fate
should deny you even this,
at least you shall learn from me
how one ought to die.
