Inno dei sommergibili italiani
Sfiorano l'onde nere nella fitta oscurità,
dalle torrette fiere ogni sguardo attento sta.
Taciti ed invisibili
partono i sommergibili!
Cuori e motori
d'assaltatori
contro l'immensità!
Andar
pel vasto mar
ridendo in faccia a monna Morte ed al Destino!
Colpir
e seppellir
ogni nemico che s'incontra sul cammino!
È così che vive il marinar
nel profondo cuor
del sonante mar!
Del nemico e dell'avversità
se ne infischia perché sa
che vincerà.
Giù sotto l'onda grigia di foschia nell'albeggiar
una torretta bigia spia la preda al suo passar!
Scatta dal sommergibile
rapido ed infallibile
dritto e sicuro
batte il siluro
schianta e sconvolge il mar!
Andar
pel vasto mar
ridendo in faccia a monna Morte ed al Destino!
Colpir
e seppellir
ogni nemico che s'incontra sul cammino!
È così che vive il marinar
nel profondo cuor
del sonante mar!
Del nemico e dell'avversità
se ne infischia perché sa
che vincerà.
Ora sull'onda azzurra nella luce mattinal
ogni motor sussurra come un canto trionfal!
Ai porti inaccessibili
tornano i sommergibili:
ogni bandiera
che batte fiera
una vittoria val!
Andar
pel vasto mar
ridendo in faccia a monna Morte ed al Destino!
Colpir
e seppellir
ogni nemico che s'incontra sul cammino!
È così che vive il marinar
nel profondo cuor
del sonante mar!
Del nemico e dell'avversità
se ne infischia perché sa
che vincerà.
They brush the black waves through the thick darkness,
from the proud turrets every lookout is careful
silently and invisible
the submarines leave!
Hearts and engines
of the attackers
against immensity!
Going through the mighty sea
laughing in the face of Death and Fate!
to hit and bury
every enemy meet on the path!
That's how the sailor lives
in the deep heart
of the thundering sea!
Of the enemy and of adversity
he does not care because he knows
that he will win.
Down under the gray wave of mist in the dawn
a turret tower spies a prey going along
Take the submarine
quick and infallible
straight and secure
the torpedo hits
crashes and upsets the sea!
Going through the mighty sea
………
Now on the blue wave in the morning light
every engine whispers like a triumphal song!
To inaccessible ports
the submarines return:
every flag
that proudly flutters
a victory is worth!
Going through the mighty sea
…..

Musically ... this is a Gilbert & Sullivaneque 'operatic' account of the historic naval battle against Russia .. Tsushima Strait.
At 06:34, before departing with the Combined Fleet, Admiral Tōgō wired a confident message to the navy minister in Tokyo:
"In response to the warning that enemy ships have been sighted, the Combined Fleet will immediately commence action and attempt to attack and destroy them. Weather today fine but high waves" [Wikipedia]

Moranbong Band in South Korea on February 8.
People want to unite but they don't know compromise.
No compromise, no unite but they sing -
"Go to the future."
I was hit by youth in a rewarding time.
There's nothing we can not do.
Let's run the next century into the future
I will build my country as a paradise
I learned to stay up all night
A new miracle with creation and dignity
Let's run the next century into the future
I will adore my country with passion
Let's run the next century into the future
I will adore my country with passion
The precious days that are not again in the life
A new golden footprint for our party
Let's run the next century into the future
My country is going to be glorious forever.
La-
My country is going to be glorious forever.
