La canzone del Piave (terza versione) lyrics
- Piave:
The Piave (German: Ploden) is a river in northern Italy. It begins in the Alps and flows southeast for 220 kilometres (140 mi) into the Adriatic Sea near the city of Venice. One of its tributaries is the Boite. In 1809 it was the scene of a battle during the Napoleonic Wars, in which Franco-Italian and Austrian forces clashed. In 1918, during World War I, it was the scene of Battle of the Piave River, the last major Austro-Hungarian attack on the Italian Front, which failed. The Battle of the Piave River was a decisive battle of World War I on the Italian Front. The river is thus called in Italy Fiume Sacro alla Patria (Sacred River of the Homeland) and is mentioned in the patriotic song "La leggenda del Piave".
- Caporetto:
Kobarid (Italian: Caporetto, Friulian: Cjaurêt, German: Karfreit) is a settlement in Slovenia, the administrative centre of the Municipality of Kobarid. Kobarid is known for the 1917 Battle of Caporetto, where the Italian retreat was documented by Ernest Hemingway in his novel A Farewell to Arms.

All'epoca della prima stesura di questo brano, si pensava che la responsabilità per la disfatta di Caporetto fosse da attribuire al tradimento di un reparto dell'esercito. Per questo motivo, al posto del verso "Ma in una notte triste si parlò di un fosco evento" vi era la frase "Ma in una notte triste si parlò di tradimento". In seguito, durante il regime fascista fu appurato che il reparto ritenuto responsabile era invece stato sterminato da un attacco con gas letali; si pensò così di eliminare dalla canzone il riferimento all'ipotizzato tradimento, considerato non solo impreciso storicamente.
