Va, pensiero sull'ali dorate
va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
ove olezzano trepide e molli
l'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
di Sionne le torri atterrate...
Oh, mia patria sì bella e perduta!
Oh, membranza sì cara e fatal!
Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati
perchà© muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile di Solima ai fati
traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
o t'ispiri il Signore un concento
che ne infonda al patire virtù!
che ne infonda al patire
al patire virtù,
che ne infonda al patire
al patire virtù!
al patire virtù!

Gloire immortelle
De nos aïeux,
Sois-nous fidèle,
Mourons comme eux!
Et sous ton aile,
Soldats vainqueurs,
Dirige nos pas, enflamme nos coeurs!

Pour toi, mère patrie,
Affrontant le sort,
Tes fils, l'âme aguerrie,
Ont bravé la mort!
Ta voix sainte nous crie:
En avant, soldats!
Le fer à la main, courez aux combats!

Gloire immortelle
De nos aïeux,
Sois-nous fidèle,
Mourons comme eux!
Et sous ton aile,
Soldats vainqueurs,
Dirige nos pas, enflamme nos coeurs!

Vers nos foyers, hâtons le pas!
On nous attend; la paix est faite!
Plus de soupirs! ne tardons pas!
Notre pays nous tend les bras!
L'amour nous rit! l'amour nous fête!
Et plus d'un coeur frémit tout bas
Au souvenir de nos combats!

Gloire immortelle
De nos aïeux,
Sois-nous fidèle,
Mourons comme eux!
Et sous ton aile,
Soldats vainqueurs,
Dirige nos pas,
Dirige nos pas,
Enflamme nos coeurs!

Vedi! le fosche notturne spoglie
De' cieli sveste l'immensa volta;
Sembra una vedova che alfin si toglie
I bruni panni ond'era involta.
All'opra, all'opra! Dagli! Martella!
Chi del gitano i giorni abbella?
La zingarella.

Versami un tratto:
lena e coraggio, il corpo e l'anima traggon dal bere.
Oh guarda del sole un raggio
brilla piú vivido nel tuo bicchiere!
All'opra, all'opra! Dagli! Martella!
Chi del gitano i giorni abbella?
