Lyrics
[Intro]
In the heart of the Apennines,
Lies a land so small and free,
San Marino, ancient echoes,
Tell me your history.
[Verse 1]
Underneath Mount Titano's gaze,
Three towers guard the sky,
Guaita, Cesta, Montale,
Where eagles dare to fly.
[Pre-Chorus]
In the heart of Europe,
Nestled in Italy’s embrace,
Whispering winds carry tales,
Of this independent place.
[Chorus]
Oh, San Marino, land of the free,
In your valleys, in your peaks,
A timeless story, of liberty,
Echoes through your streets.
[Verse 2]
In the capital sharing your name,
Citizens walk the ancient stones,
Where democracy was born anew,
In a world unknown.
[Chorus]
Oh, San Marino, land of the free,
In your valleys, in your peaks,
A timeless story, of liberty,
Echoes through your streets.
[Bridge]
Set in AD 301, when Marinus came,
Seeking refuge on your land,
Here he found peace and freedom,
A republic that still stands.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, San Marino, land of the free,
In your valleys, in your peaks,
A timeless story, of liberty,
Echoes through your streets.
[Outro]
As the sun sets on Titano,
And the stars begin to gleam,
San Marino, we remember,
The keepers of the dream.
