Italian (original)
Va, pensiero sull'ali dorate
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
L'aure dolci del suolo natal!


Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Di Sione le torri atterrate...
O, mia patria sì bella e perduta!
O membranza sì cara e



English (Schiller Institute translation)

Go, thought, on golden wings
Go, alight on the cliffs, on the hills,
Where there are wafting the warm and gentle
Sweet breezes of our native land.

The fallen towers of Zion....
Oh, my fatherland so beautiful and so lost!
Oh, remembrance so dear, and fatal.


Harp of gold of the prophet bards,

Rekindle the memories in our breast
That speak to us of the time that was.

May the Lord inspire in thee an accord
Which might infuse our suffering with virtù.
