Bella ciao - Talco

Una mattina mi son svegliato

O bella, ciao!

bella, ciao!

bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

Una mattina mi son svegliato

E ho trovato l’invasor

O partigiano, portami via

O bella, ciao!

bella, ciao!

bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

O partigiano, portami via

Ché mi sento di morir

E se io muoio da partigiano

(E se io muoio sulla montagna)

O bella, ciao!

bella, ciao!

bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

E se io muoio da partigiano

(E se io muoio sulla montagna)

Tu mi devi seppellir

E seppellire lassù in montagna

(E tu mi devi seppellire)

O bella, ciao!

bella, ciao!

bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

E seppellire lassù in montagna

(E tu mi devi seppellire)

Sotto l’ombra di un bel fior

Tutte le genti che passeranno

(E tutti quelli che passeranno)

O bella, ciao!

bella, ciao!

bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

Tutte le genti che passeranno

(E tutti quelli che passeranno)

Mi diranno «Che bel fior!»

(E poi diranno «Che bel fior!»)

«È questo il fiore del partigiano»

(E questo è il fiore del partigiano)

O bella, ciao!

bella, ciao!

bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

«È questo il fiore del partigiano

(E questo è il fiore del partigiano)

Morto per la libertà!»
