Lyrics

To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
1796 in Italy
France marches on to victory
At Montenotte struck Bonaparte
And tore the Austrian lines apart
And at the bridge at Lodi fierce and wide
He faced the guns and would not hide
With blazing eyes and sword held high
He charged ahead - no fear to die
Napoleon takes Italy
From Milan to the Adriatic sea
To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
To Mantua - we've come so far
Led by the Little Corporal
To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
To Mantua - our forces are
Accepting the surrender
Of Mantuas last defenders
At Mantua struck Bonaparte
Then at Castiglione Wurmser came
But left the field in smoke and shame
Napoleon's traps and swift design
Turned Austrian hopes to shattered line
Against an army that Alvinczi led
He raised the flag and charged ahead
Through swamp and storm at Arcole
And drove the Austrian force astray
Napoleon takes Italy
From Milan to the Adriatic sea
To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
To Mantua - we've come so far
Led by the Little Corporal
To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
To Mantua - our forces are
Accepting the surrender
Of Mantuas last defenders
At Mantua struck Bonaparte
At Rivoli the die was cast
The Austrians broke, their strength had passed
A masterstroke, so sharp, so clear
The end of war was drawing near
After nine Months the fortress fell
As hunger there began to swell
At Campo Formio a peace was signed
And the borders of Italy new aligned
Napoleon takes Italy
From Milan to the Adriatic sea
To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
To Mantua - we've come so far
Led by the Little Corporal
To Mantua - our forces are
Crushing Piedmont-Sardinia
To Mantua - our forces are
Marching against Austria
To Mantua - our forces are
Accepting the surrender
Of Mantuas last defenders
At Mantua struck Bonaparte
