A song about the Italian hero of the Italian wars of unity and independence, in the 60es of 19. century:

Garibaldi

Garibaldi fu ferito,
fu ferito in una gamba,
Garibaldi, che commanda,
che commanda, che commanda battaglion'.
Chorus:
Colla camicia rossa, con pantalon' turchine,
Evviva Garibaldi, conson Garibaldi!

Garibaldi supremi monti,
Tedeschi alla pianura,
Garibaldi non ha paura
delle bombe, delle bombe di canon'.
Chorus:

Garibaldi was wounded in the knee, Garibaldi who commanded the battalion.
chor.: With red shirt and blue trousers,
long live Garibaldi, shout together Garibaldi!
Garibaldi was on top of the mountains, the Germans (scil. the Austrian army) on the plain. Garibaldi wasn't afraid of the cannonballs

This is a lively song I learned by listening when with the boy scouts. Since my Italian is very limited, there must be a lot of faulty orthography. Please correct it.
