Most of the exchanged words don't change the meaning of the sentence.

¹ "veltro" is an Italian term almost equivalent to "greyhound" or "Sighthound", it is a hunting dog. According to Wikipedia, the term fell into disuse in the XIX century.

Like the last singles released by the GALLO recently, "VELTRO" also represents a mythological creature, "VELTRO" is portrayed in the Divine Comedy as a greyhound that, with its characteristics as a hunting dog, pursues the sins of men giving them a "suffering death".

In other mythologies it can be compared to Anubis (Egyptian god who lead the souls of the dead to the underworld). [Anubis has a body of a men and a head of a greyhound]

In the first verse where he sings "Veltro" in the subbs is written 革命家 (kakumeika), that means "revolutionary".

² I didn't find much information about it on the internet, apparently it is a spell to summon the devil, I just found results about it on google in Japanese, and they basically talk about summon the devil and show some creepypasta-style stories about people who used this spell.

The stories I've found tell that the spell is passed from person to person and this is how it survives, its use is to summon the devil, and in exchange for being freed it will grant a wish, any wish. (One of the stories: DEMONIC GATE -禁断の黒魔術- [in Japanese])

There are some Japanese magic books that mention this spell, but unfortunately I could not find any of them online to see what they say about it. (One of the sources that made me search in books: Yahoo Japan!)

What all the research results have in common, including this song, is that the ritual is quoted in a context of witchcraft, that is, witches who come together to summon the devil.

³ The Constitution of the Empire of Japan (Kyuujitai: 大日本帝國憲法; Shinjitai: 大日本帝国憲法 Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kenpou), known informally as the Meiji Constitution (明治憲法 Meiji Kenpou), was the constitution of the Empire of Japan which had the proclamation on February 11, 123 A.D, and had enacted since November 29, 1890 until May 2, 1947.
