Italian term or phrase: in alto i cuori e fuori la voce
Fratelli romanisti, questi sono i 90 minuti piu importanti della nostra storia, sono i 90 minuti che aspettiamo da 18 anni. Oggi tocca a noi, oggi piu che mai. Popolo giallorosso, in alto i cuori e fuori la voce...

English translation:Lift up your hearts and let your voices ring out!
Explanation:
A suggestion...

I particularly like 'lift up your hearts' as it is quite idiomatic, coming from the English translation of the Sursum Corda.

neutral  Oliver Lawrence: Not quite. The first part suggests they need consoling after being sad, and the verb 'belt' needs an object

come on you Roma, let's hear you!


Explanation:
I have a feeling this is more the right tone. "Come on you Spurs", for example (Spurs is a football club in London) has 26000 Ghits, so although grammatically questionable it is undoubtedly the sort of thing football fans would say and understand

neutral  David Turnbull: shades of the infamous Delia Smith episode! I think the language of football (among other things) is often quite a lot more sentimental in Italy than the UK (apart from in the curva of course!). Bear in mind Zampa is more like an announcer than an ultra.

neutral  Russell Jones: For non Norwich City fans, that was "Let's be 'avin you", not "Let's be 'earing you"
