Samnites,
|
the bravest breed of Mother Earth
|
thousands
|
of warriors hungry for revenge
|
swearing
|
to reach the victory
|
or to die gallantly
|
axes in hands
|
|
Under the holy curtain they
|
become as one
|
|
Those who
|
dared to refuse the sacred ritual:
|
their lifes
|
were taken by the soldiers' knives
|
slaughtering
|
the cowards with no pride,
|
in front of all the crowd
|
no one was spared
|
|
Sixty thousand chosen men
|
for war were gathered
|
|
Sixty thousand golden shields
|
were held overhead
|
shining bright
|
|
"over this battlefield
|
'till the last drop of blood we'll fight
|
gods, take our souls with you,
|
hear the oath of the legion"
|
|
Fearless
|
the legion is marching
|
for the honour of the Samnites
|
|
Under the holy curtain they
|
become as one
|
|
[In remembrance of the "Legio Linteata" (Aquilonia, 203 a.C.)]
