Roberto Bartini - The Fearless Red Bird

Roberto Bartini (The Fearless Red Bird)

[Intro mandolino chitarra fisarmonica Italian folk song]
[Verse 1]
Oh, Roberto Bartini,
The Red Baron’s name,
In the sky like a star*
He has burst into flame.
Play for us, oh guitar,
With a sound bold and grand,
Of the right, noble cause
And the wings of our land.

[Chorus]
Let the pride of the nation, its glory and might,
Turn into a song that takes wing in the night.
Let the chords fill the air, sounding vibrant and real,
For the Soviet records and aircraft of “Stal”*.

[Verse 2]
He envisioned the worlds
Where the dreams come to life,
Where the wings made of steel
Break the boundaries and strife.
Play for us, oh guitar,
We will sing, you and I,
While the heart beats like engines
Way up in the sky.

[Chorus]
Let the pride of the nation, its glory and might,
Turn into a song that takes wing in the night.
Let the chords fill the air, sounding vibrant and real,
For the Soviet records and aircraft of “Stal”.

[Verse 3]
With a soul that was pure
And a conscience so bright,
The Communist Baron,
A beacon of light.
The master of physics,
Who conquered the time,
He left us his motto,
So grand and sublime...

[Pre Chorus]
“Where the fearless Red Bird in its infinite flight,
By the engineer's dream reaches heavenly height,
Obeying the vision so daring and true,
The Red wins the battle o'er Black in the blue.”

[Chorus]
Let the pride of the nation, its glory and might,
Turn into a song that takes wing in the night.
Let the chords fill the air, sounding vibrant and real,
For the Soviet records and aircraft of “Stal”.


*(Bartini asteroid)
Stal-6, Stal-7, and Stal-8: aircraft that set world records.
The surname "Bartini" was derived from the initial letters of the motto on the Orozhdi family coat of arms: "Bella Avis Rubra Terrorem Infert Nigrae" ("The fearless red bird always triumphs over the black").

His monument bears the inscription: "In the Land of Soviets, he kept his vow, dedicating his entire life to ensuring that red aircraft would fly faster than black ones."
