Viva sempre - Angelo Branduardi

Viva sempre in ogni etate

Con la grazia d’ogni stella

Questa pura verginella

Gran regina in libertate

E più ognor per ogni lato

Si aumenti il suo bel stato

Tal ch’ognor s’oda gridar

Viva Venezia in terra e in mar

Always live in every age

With the grace of every star

This pure virgin

Grand queen in liberation

And more each for each side

Increase its beautiful state

So much so that everyone is heard to cry out

Long live Venice on land and sea
