In Principium Tarquinii - Tarquinia Lyrics

Liver, liver on my hand
Tell them this is the end
Of their journey, of their travel
Just as their trouble.
This is the promised land,
Their feet can touch the sand.

Erected on foundations made of knowledge and soil,
Cradle of a nation with two heads linked with blood,
Which creation myth is lost in the mist of time!
First head is gone, Tirreno is his name
And the name of the sea he exceeded.

Second head is here to stay, to rule,
Tarconte, so he was called!
In his memory this city was baptized
With the name of Tarchuna.

Liver, liver on my hand
Tell them this is the end
Of their journey, of their travel
Just as their trouble.

In a field a child was found
By Tarconte who was plowing the ground,
White his hairs and full his mind
Of a knowledge Tarconte was surprised to find.
The babe said “Write down my speech!
From now on Disciplina will be taught!
You'll be the first of the priests,
In my name you'll make great feasts!”

Liver...Liver...Liver, liver...On my hand
Tell... Them... Tell, them... This is the end!

First strip of land touched by the foot
Of the folk come from the sea.
First of twelve around the Fanum to be founded.

So many battles between waves of blood,
So many fights between hills of corpses
Against her daughter...
Bastard daughter of the dynasty of the etruscan kings of Rome
Generated here, in this City of divine features.
Tarquinia! With their ships from the void of ancestral remembrances
The legendary Rasna puts their roots on this ground.
This is the promised land
Where their feet have touched the sand!

Liver...Liver...Liver, liver...On my hand
Tell them this is the end!
