We Italians are present on all continents,

Because we are the smartest.

We know how to work and we also know how to invent,

And wherever we go we make ourselves respected.

Then when it comes to helping those who don't have to live

We are the first to start.

We Italians know how to forgive and we never hold grudges,

Because we have a big heart.

We are respected by the Germans, the Japanese and the Americans,

Because we are Italians.

Nui taliani semu presenti nta tutti continenti,

picché semi i chiu nteliggenti.

Sapemu travagghiari e sapemu puru nvintari,

e unni namu namu ni facemu rispittari.

Poi quannu si tratta di iutari a cu non avi pi campari,

semu i primi a cuminciari.

Nui taliani sapemu piddunari e non puttamu mai rancori,

picché iavemu ranni u cori.

Ni rispettunu i tedeschi, giappunisi e mericani

picchì nui semu taliani.
