Bella Ciao

I am blind and you see me,
I have to ask for charity,
I have four crying children
and no bread to give.

We will go to Rome,
in front of the Pope and the King,
we will shout to the powerful
that there is misery.

The valley of Rome,
we want to raise the flag,
hundred that the flag
Socialism will triumph.

One morning I woke up,
obella ciao, bella ciao,
one morning I woke up
and I found the invader.

Oh partisan take me away,
obella ciao, bella ciao,
oh partisan take me away
for I feel like dying.

And if I die as a partisan,
obella ciao, bella ciao,
and if I die as a partisan
you must bury me.

And bury me up in the mountains
obella ciao, bella ciao,
and bury me up in the mountains
under the shadow of a beautiful flower.

And the people passing by,
obella ciao, bella ciao,
and the people passing by
will tell me what a beautiful flower.

And this is the flower of the partisan
obella ciao, bella ciao,
and this is the flower of the partisan
dead for freedom.
