[Nightcore] Monica Bejenaru - Bella Ciao

"Bella ciao" ("Goodbye beautiful") is an Italian protest folk song that originated in the hardships of the mondina women, the paddy field workers in the late 19th century who sang it to protest against harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of North Italy. The song was modified and adopted as an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance by the Italian partisans between 1943 and 1945 during the Italian Resistance, the resistance of Italian partisans against the Nazi German forces occupying Italy, and, during the Italian Civil War, the Italian partisan struggle against the fascist Italian Social Republic and its Nazi German allies. Versions of "Bella ciao" are sung worldwide as an anti-fascist hymn of freedom and resistance.

"Bella ciao" was revived by the anti-fascist resistance movement in Italy between 1943 and 1945, with modified lyrics. The author of the lyrics is unknown.

In 2015, the song was banned in some municipalities of Northern Italy, ruled by the right-wing League.

Original lyrics:
Una mattina mi son alzato,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!
Una mattina mi son alzato,
e ho trovato l'invasor.

O partigiano portami via,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!
O partigiano portami via,
che mi sento di morir.

E se io muoio da partigiano,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!
E se io muoio da partigiano,
tu mi devi seppellir.

E seppellire lassù in montagna,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!
E seppellire lassù in montagna,
sotto l'ombra di un bel fior.

Tutte le genti che passeranno,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!
E le genti che passeranno,
mi diranno "che bel fior."

È questo il fiore del partigiano
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao!
È questo il fiore del partigiano
morto per la libertà!
