Inno della XMAS - Anthem of the Italian 10th Assault Vehicle Flotilla with Lyrics
I own nothing, all credits go to FBIV. Original description below.
When Pietro Badoglio and the King Vittorio Emanuele signed the armistice in September 8, 1943 all the Italian fighters were encouraged to surrender to the Allies, but the Germans quickly occupied the Northern part of Italy and replaced Mussolini as the head of state in the newborn Italian Social Republic.
He then encouraged all true italians to join his ranks and continue to fight 'till the bitter end. But the navy and most of its ships were on the south, making them now Allied property.
Most of them, except for some, which later became the XMAS (among some other groups, like the legendary Reggimento San Marco), the Italian Fascist Marines, who spreaded terror amidst allied fleets until the end of this bloodbath we call WW2.
Lyrics:
Quando pareva vinta Roma antica,
Sorse l'invitta Decima Legione,
Vinse sul campo il barbaro nemico,
Roma riebbe pace con onore.
Quando all'obbrorio l'otto di Settembre
Abbandonò la Patria il traditore,
Sorse dal mar la Decima Flottiglia
che prese l'armi al grido:
"Per L'Onore!".
Decima, Flottiglia nostra,
Che beffasti l'Inghilterra,
Vittoriosa ad Alessandria,
Malta, Suda e Gibilterra.
Vittoriosa è già sul mare,
E ora pure sulla terra
Vincerai!
Navi d'Italia che ci foste tolte
Non in battaglia ma col tradimento,
Nostri fratelli prigionieri o morti,
Noi vi facciamo questo giuramento:
Noi vi giuriamo che ritorneremo
Là dove Dio volle il tricolore,
Noi vi giuriamo che combatteremo
Fin quando avremo pace con onore!
Decima, Flottiglia nostra,
Che beffasti l'Inghilterra,
Vittoriosa ad Alessandria,
Malta, Algeri e Gibilterra.
Vittoriosa già sul mare,
Come pure sulla terra
Vincerai!
