Translation of the song lyrics Viva l'Italia - Francesco De Gregori

Viva l'Italia (original)

Viva l’Italia, l’Italia liberata,
l’Italia del valzer, e del caff?.
L’Italia derubata e colpita al cuore,
viva l’Italia, l’Italia che non muore.
Viva l’Italia, presa a tradimento,
l’Italia assassinata dai giornali e dal cemento,
l’Italia con gli occhi asciutti nella notte scura,
viva l’Italia, l’Italia che non ha paura.
Viva l’Italia, l’Italia che?
in mezzo al mare,
l’Italia dimenticata e da dimenticare,
l’Italia met?
giardino e met?
galera,
viva l’Italia, l’Italia tutta intera.
Viva l’Italia, l’Italia che lavora,
l’Italia che si dispera, e che si innamora,
l’Italia met?
dovere e met?
fortuna,
viva l’Italia, l’Italia sulla luna.
Viva l’Italia, l’Italia del 12 dicembre,
l’Italia con le bandiere, l’Italia nuda come sempre,
l’Italia con gli occhi aperti nella notte triste,
viva l’Italia, l’Italia che resiste.

Viva l'Italia (translation)

Long live Italy, Italy liberated,
the Italy of waltzes and coffee.
Italy robbed and struck in the heart,
long live Italy, the Italy that does not die.
Long live Italy, taken by treason,
Italy murdered by newspapers and concrete,
Italy with dry eyes in the dark night,
long live Italy, the Italy that is not afraid.
Long live Italy, Italy what?
in the middle of the sea,
forgotten and forgotten Italy,
half Italy
garden and half?
jail,
long live Italy, all of Italy.
Long live Italy, the Italy that works,
Italy that is desperate, and that falls in love,
half Italy
duty and met?
fortune,
long live Italy, Italy on the moon.
Long live Italy, Italy of 12 December,
Italy with flags, Italy naked as always,
Italy with open eyes in the sad night,
long live Italy, the Italy that resists.
