1. For how long will this terrible chaos last,
Brandishing its cutting swords?

2. For how long will its fires not cease,
Its tongues flaming and blazing?

3. Three years of its age have passed,
Yet we remain in its fourth plea,

4. And Germany still plans to
Make the world subservient.

5. It acts as though it owns
The earth, commanding and forbidding.

6. It seems obsessed with blood,
Inclined towards shedding it.

7. Without any shyness or remorse,
Lost in it, unaffected.

8. And the tyrant's ambition grew
To conquer using its own forces.

9. And when the decisive blow came
Which it thought would subjugate,

10. It brought its army to support
Austria and launched a great raid.

11. Thirsty to shed blood and starve
Its enemies.

12. It attacked, forcing the Italian
Army to retreat from its positions,

13. Despite its vast lands.
The rest of the armies were also forced

14. To retreat with it.
It left Austria, which it had pounded,

15. Bitterly routed.
Panic took over its groups

16. Leaving them disturbed and terrified.
Its opponents attacked its retreating

17. Columns.
It could not resist their onslaught

18. So it fled hastily.
And it lowered the victory flags

19. It had raised against its enemies.
It was routed by a people

20. It used to rout.
What a calamity that befell

21. And afflicted Italy!
Its foundations shook

22. And its regime almost collapsed.
It nearly succumbed

23. To Russia's raging chaos
Were it not for the steadfastness

24. Of its wise and firm leaders.
And the timely aid of its allies

25. Who rushed to help it.
Its two allies bolstered it

26. With strong, deterring support.
Both extended a hand,

27. HOSTILE to its enemies.
One, the French army, stepped up

28. With a determination that dazzles foes.
The other, Great Britain's mighty forces,

29. Came next to back it up.
Both were a shield, protecting Italy,

30. Foiling Germany's schemes against it.
Thus relief came from its treatied

31. Allies, beneficial and helpful.
