Anthem of the Roman Republic (1849) If the Pope has fled Good trip and farewell ! We will not die of anguish because a tyrant fled, because the rope broke Which bound us to the foot ! Long live Italy and the People And the Pope who runs away Farewell, holy crown The monarchy ended The People is sovereign Never again will a king return O Brother peoples Oppressed for millennia Break down the gates Cast out tyrannical kings! Never again do they sit on the thrones Emperors or kings! To the Capitol! The People say the great word: swords the Romans want, no more tiara and stole!
