Italian Folk - Bella ciao (English translation)

English

Translation

One morning I woke up

goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye

one morning I woke up

and I found the invader.1

Oh partisan2 take me away

goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye

oh partisan take me away

that I'm feeling like dying

And if I die as a partisan

goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye

and if I die as a partisan

you must bury me

You will bury me over there, on the mountain

goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye

you will bury me over there on the mountain

under the shadow of a wonderful flower

And all the people passing by

goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye

and all the people passing by

will say "what a wonderful flower!"

And this is the flower of the partisan

goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye my Beautiful, goodbye

dead for our freedom

and this is the flower of the partisan

dead for our freedom

1. That means the German troops
2. I guess it's a literary translation: partigiano means Italian fighter of the Resistenza
