Hear the tales of the pilgrim man who faced the hate of the goddess through the fire and through the storm to the ancient mother
Through the magic splendour of carthage and Sicilian lands through the underworld to the Lavinia shore
Chorus: For the will of fate – from the ashes of the land afire Through many tears – hear a new birth will rise
How, o Muse, can heavenly minds Feel hate for such a brave man? Through bad omens and hard ordeals he won the promised land
Through the magic splendour of carthage and Sicilian lands through the underworld to the Lavinia shore
Chorus
Through many tears… it will rise
Chorus
…through many tears… it will rise… will rise… …for the will of fate… it will rise… will rise…
