Alok Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh guerrillero, quero ir contigo
¡Oh bella ciao! ¡Bella ciao!
¡Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Guerrillero, quero ir contigo
Tome en tus manos mi fusil

Y si yo caigo en la guerrilla
¡Oh bella ciao! ¡Bella ciao!
¡Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Si yo caigo en la guerrilla
Tome en tus manos mi fusil

Cava mi fosa en la montaña
¡Oh bella ciao! ¡Bella ciao!
¡Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Cava mi fosa en la montaña
Bajo la sombra de una flor

Esta es la flor de guerrillero
¡Oh bella ciao! ¡Bella ciao!
¡Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!




Esta es la flor de guerrillero
Muerto por la libertad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alok's song Bella Ciao express a strong sense of solidarity with guerrilla fighters who are fighting for the cause of freedom. The song begins with the singer expressing a desire to go with the guerrilla fighters and fight for their cause. The phrase "Bella Ciao" is repeated frequently throughout the song, with the implication that the struggle for freedom is both beautiful and tragic.


The song takes on an even more poignant tone in the second verse, as the singer contemplates the possibility that they might not survive the conflict. In the event that the singer falls in battle, they entrust their weapon to the guerrilla fighter, urging them to continue the fight in their place. The final verse is a somber request for the guerrilla fighter to bury the singer in the mountain, under the shade of a flower that represents the struggle for freedom.


The lyrics of Bella Ciao are part of a larger tradition of political songs that celebrate the struggle for freedom and resistance to oppression. The song originated in Italy during World War II, when it was sung by anti-fascist partisans who were fighting against the Nazi occupation of the country. Since then, the song has been adopted by various political movements around the world, including the anti-globalization movement and the Occupy movement.
