Noi Vogliam Dio (We Love God)
The ICF’s official song, Noi Vogliam Dio, is adapted from a hymn from Italian folk tradition which became the national anthem of the Papal States at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its music and lyrics are both of anonymous origin.

Noi Vogliam Dio, ch’Ei ci protegga
Ch’Egli ci guidi sul buon sentier,
Se nella lotta Ei ci sorrega,
Sara’ del male vinto il poter.
Sorge da queste squadre-il grido della fe’
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Padre
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Re
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Padre
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Re.
In questa terra libera e forte
Portiamo il fervido nostro vigor,
Pronti a difender, nobil coorte
Di Cristo il nome che ci sta in cuor.
Sorge da queste squadre-il grido della fe’
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Padre
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Re
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Padre
Noi vogliam Dio, ch’e’ nostro Re.
We Love God
O we want our God to protect us,
And to guide us in the best way.
If in the struggle He will aid us,
From evil shall we win the fray.
Rise up all you faithful, Uphold the Faith and sing:
O we want God Who is our Father;
O we want God Who is our King.
O we want God Who is our Father;
O we want God Who is our King
In this Land of strength and freedom
We gave our vigor from the start;
Quick to defend, O noble people,
The name of Christ that’s in our heart.
Rise up all you faithful, Uphold the Faith and sing:
O we want God Who is our Father;
O we want God Who is our King.
O we want God Who is our Father;
O we want God Who is our King
