These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Una mattina mi son svegliato
One morning I woke up
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Oh beautiful hello, beautiful hello
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Bye, bye, bye, beautiful
Una mattina mi son svegliato
One morning I woke up
E ho trovato l'invasor
And I found the invader
O partigiano, portami via
O partisan, take me away
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Oh beautiful hello, beautiful hello
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Bye, bye, bye, beautiful
O partigiano, portami via
O partisan, take me away
Che mi sento di morir
That I feel like dying
E se io muoio, da partigiano
And if I die, as a partisan
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Oh beautiful hello, beautiful hello
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Bye, bye, bye, beautiful
E se io muoio da partigiano
And if I die as a partisan
Tu mi devi seppellir
You have to bury me
Mi seppellirai, lassù in montagna
You will bury me, up there in the mountains
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Oh beautiful hello, beautiful hello
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Bye, bye, bye, beautiful
Mi seppellirai, lassù in montagna
You will bury me, up there in the mountains
Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior
Under the shade of a beautiful flower
E la gente che passerà
And the people who will pass by
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Oh beautiful hello, beautiful hello
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Bye, bye, bye, beautiful
E la gente che passerà
And the people who will pass by
E dirà, 'Oh, che bel fior!'
And he will say, 'Oh, what a beautiful flower!'
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Oh beautiful hello, beautiful hello
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Bye, bye, bye, beautiful
