Available translation(s): ENG
Amor commanda, onore invita,
più bell’impegno
d’espor la vita,
no, non si da.
Già l’alma accesa
di bella gloria,
corre all’impresa,
e di vittoria sicura è già.

Love commands me, honor invites
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Love commands me, honor invites,
for one can never give a sweeter pledge
than to risk one's life
in its name.
Already my ardent soul,
seeking after resplendent glory,
rushes to the challenge,
and is sure of victory.
