Bella Ciao Lyrics

Una mattina, mi son svegliato
O bella ciao, bella ciao ! Bella ciao, ciao, ciao !
Una mattina, mi son svegliato
E ho trovato l'invasor.

O partigiano, portami via !
O bella ciao, bella ciao ! Bella ciao, ciao, ciao !
O partigiano, portami via
Che mi sento di morir !

E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao ! Bella ciao, ciao, ciao !
E se io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir.

Mi seppellirai lassù in montagna
O bella ciao, bella ciao ! Bella ciao, ciao, ciao !
Mi seppellirai lassù in montagna
Sotto l'ombra d'un bel fior.

E la gente che passerà
O bella ciao, bella ciao ! Bella ciao, ciao, ciao !
E la gente che passerà
E dirà "O che bel fior" !

È questo il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao ! Bella ciao, ciao, ciao !
È questo il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà !

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

8y ago

One morning, I woke up Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao One morning, I woke up And I found the invader.

Oh, partisan, carry me away! Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao Oh, partisan, carry me away For I feel I'm dying!

And if I die as a partisan Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao And if I die as a partisan You'll have to bury me.

You'll bury me up in the mountain Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao You'll bury me up in the mountain Under the shadow of a beautiful flower.

And the people who will pass by Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao And the people who will pass by Will say "What a beautiful flower!"

This is the flower of the partisan Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao This is the flower of the partisan Dead for freedom.
