* The lyrics *

Una mattina mi son' svegliato
O bella ciao, o bella ciao, o bella ciao ciao ciao
Una mattina mi son' svegliato
Eo ho trovato l'invasor

O partigiano porta mi via
O bella ciao, o bella ciao, o bella ciao ciao ciao
O partigiano porta mi via
Che mi sento di morire

E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao, o bella ciao, o bella ciao ciao ciao
E se io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir

Mi seppellirai lassù in montagna
O bella ciao, o bella ciao, o bella ciao ciao ciao
Mi seppellirai lassù in montagna
Sotto l'ombra di un bel fiore

E la gente che passerà
O bella ciao, o bella ciao, o bella ciao ciao ciao
E la gente che passerà
E dirà oh che bel fiore

E questo é il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao, o bella ciao, o bella ciao ciao ciao
E questo é il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà.

I listen to the Banda Bassotti version regularly!

Do you have a translation?

[el lorca]

this is a simple translation ,

if i died and im fighting
bye my beautiful bye my beautiful bye bye
if i died and im fighting you will bury me , comrade !

you will bury me in the top of the mountain
bye my beautiful bye my beautiful bye bye
you will bury me in the top of the mountain in a shadow of a pretty rose

and every one walks there
bye my beautiful bye my beautiful bye bye
and every one walks there will say : look at that rose how it's pretty

and really .. the rose of the revolutionary very beautiful
bye my beautiful bye my beautiful bye bye
and really .. the rose of the revolutionary who died for the freedom very beautiful

I love this song!

[Comrade Marcel]

Yeah, good song... but the fucking Trots and social-dems at the wimmin's day march ruined it; because they changed the song around to be about demanding healthcare and shit; and made it completely reformist. It's supposed to be about being ready to die as a revolutionary, not some western petty-bourgeois "We shall overcome" type crap. The only part they left unchanged was the chorus "Bella Ciao".

[el lorca]

thanks for replying , comrades !

Great song..it sounds more uplifting and "fun" compared to the russian WE ARE THE VANGAURD OF THE REVULATION !!! i guess its comes from different strains of communism followed in the different country's

I'm guessing you are making this song up, since:

1.) You spelled Revolution wrong; and

2.) I know Russian/Soviet music pretty well and have never heard of a song called "We are the Vanguard of the Revolution!" which sounds like something the Spartacist League would sing if such a song existed.

Thanks for the song even though it's a little choppy

[Magdalen]

There's an English version somewhere that replaces 'Bella Ciao' with 'Sweetheart Goodbye' to fit in with the tune. I'll try and dig it up.

[CommieCat]

If you wanna take a listen to my version :) You did nice version of it, although I never liked this song because of its lyrics. Core 'ngrato is nice song tho.

[StalinFanboy]

I like Chumbawumba's version.
