"Marcia trionfale" is a triumphal march from the second act of the 1871 opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi. In the second act Radames leads the Egyptian army on its return following their victory over the Ethiopians.
The people sing:
"Gloria all'Egitto e ad Iside
Che il sacro suol protegge;
Al Re che il Delta regge
Inni festosi alziam!
Vieni, o guerriero vindice,
Vieni a gioir con noi;
Sul passo degli eroi
I lauri e i fior versiam!" - Licensing
