Franco Battiato delenda carthago

Our legions go through unknown lands
to found colonies in the image of Rome
Delenda Carthage
con le dita colorate di henna su patrizi triclini
si gustano carni speziate d'aromi d'Oriente; .
Nei circhi e negli stadi
s'massano turbe stravolte
to celebrate the rite di sangue. !
through you we take the road of untimely death;
you provide cruel fodder for the vices of men,
the seeds of care spring from your head.
