Because I feel like dying
Or: Because I feel as if I'm going to die
And if I die a partisan
If I die (as) a partisan
Oh beautiful bye, beautiful bye, beautiful bye bye bye
And if I die a partisan
You shall bury me
And bury up there in the mountain
And bury (me) up there in (the) mountain(s)
Oh beautiful bye, beautiful bye, beautiful bye bye bye
Bury up there in the mountain
Under the shadow of a beautiful flower
All the people who will pass
Oh beautiful bye, beautiful bye, beautiful bye bye bye
And the people who will pass
They'll tell me what a beautiful flower
And this is the flower of the partisan
Oh beautiful bye, beautiful bye, beautiful bye bye bye
This is the flower of the partisan
He died for freedom
