2That has to be the sickest interpretation of Dvorak I've ever seen. Eye bleach please! (and in all seriousness, that team lap dance would go with any 2/4 or 4/4 tune) – Carl Witthoft Mar 18 '19 at 12:37

I actually find Dvorak's 9-4 to be triumphant and heroic, as if I were in a war between a large amount of villains and I have triumphed over them. – user53472 Apr 2 '19 at 12:29
Word by word:
- con - with
- più - more
- fuoco - fire
- possibile - possible
In Italian, "possibile" stuck on the end of a phrase means "as much [preceding thing] as possible".
So translated as a phrase: "With as much fire as possible"
