All onward, all onward. The tombs are all open, come forth our departed, Our soldiers arise and our hearts be united, With swords in hand, and our face towards the foe, The fame and the name Italia will glow. All onward, yes onward, advance gallant warriors Unfurl to the winds banners so glorious, Arise with your sabres, down with our enemies, Arise in your glory, Italians arise Depart from our borders, depart from our shore Depart all ye strangers, return never more.

Our home-land so famous for poetry and singing, Return to the days when the sabres were ringing, Our hands that are bound with fetters so sore, When loosened will brandish our swords once more No fetters nor thongs will Italy endure from the strangers Who wantonly came to our shore. No longer will Italy be bound by the tyrants who for many long years they have kept us their slaves. Depart from our borders, depart from our shore, Depart all ye strangers, return never more.

O Belgium, Oh our loved home To thee our hearts, to thee our arms, To thee our lives, oh motherland, Shall we give that thou mayest live. Thou shalt live grand and beautiful And thy unconquered unity Shall forever live in immortality, For King, for law, for liberty.

God save our gracious King, Long live our noble King, God save the King. Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save our King.
