lyrics

One morning when I awakened
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
One morning when I awakened
Well I found fascist all around

Oh partisan please take me with you
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
Oh partisan please take me with you
Because I'd be willing to die

And if I die fighting as a partisan
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
And if I die fighting as a partisan
Promise me you'll bury me

Bury me there, up in the mountains
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
Bury me there, up in the mountains
And shade my grave with a lovely flower

And the people who pass that way
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
And the people who pass that way
Will say, oh look what a lovely flower

Oh that's the flower of the partisan
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
Oh that's the flower of the partisan
Who died for freedom's sake
