Mom don't cry, here's the advance
your son is strong, the heart on high!
Wipe your tears, pretty fiancée
for in the assault it's victory or death!
Onward Ardito! Black flames
are like symbols of your ranks;
bypass the mounts, eat the plain,
dagger between the teeth, hand grenades!
Black Flames, vanguard of death
we're standards of struggle and horror,
we're pride turned into a cohort,
to defend of Italy the honor.
Onward Ardito! Black flames
are like symbols of your ranks;
bypass the mounts, eat the plain,
dagger between the teeth, hand grenades!
A star guides us, the fortune
and gives us three flames of honor,
three words of faith and death:
dagger, bomb and heart.
Onward Ardito! Black flames
are like symbols of your ranks;
bypass the mounts, eat the plain,
dagger between the teeth, hand grenades!
