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.
