In shame we defile Before our enemies Forced to march Under the Samnites' Spears
Seven years of wars Have led us to this ruinous end Seven years of wars Were fought in vain
On a hostile ground that seemed to be Protecting the Samnites We were fighting though in our hearts the light Of hope shone no more Among the southern mountains lost We quickly tired
With no supplies left exhausted we starved Led by deceit towards our doom Trapped in gorge, surrounded by woods We were overthrown
In shame we defile Before our enemies Forced to march Under the Samnites' Spears
Step by step, one by one We bear the humiliations Of facing our foolishness'es symbol As we march we can hear their voices mocking us Laughing, screaming, crying out their scorn Our mouths are filled with the bitter taste of shame Poisoning the blood - in our veins Killing all our pride
On a hostile ground that seemed to be Protecting the Samnites We were fighting though in our hearts the light Of hope shone no more Among the southern mountains lost We quickly tired
