Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una mattina mi sono svegliato
O bella ciao bella ciao
Bella ciao ciao ciao
Una mattina mi sono svegliato
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 so io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao bella ciao
Bella ciao ciao ciao
E so io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir

Mi seppellisci lassu in montagna
O bella ciao bella ciao
Bella ciao ciao ciao
Mi seppelisci lassu in montagna
Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior

Tutte le genti che passeranno
O bella ciao bella ciao
Bella ciao ciao ciao
Tutte le genti che passeranno
Mi diranno che bel fior

E questo e il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao bella ciao
Bella ciao ciao ciao




E questo e il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la liberta

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hilal Cebeci's "Bella ciao" speak of the experience of a partisan who wakes up one morning to realize that his land has been invaded by foreign forces. He asks for a partisan to take him away, as he feels that he is about to die. He says that he knows he will perish as a partisan and asks the partisan to bury him in the mountains under the shade of a beautiful flower. He knows that those who pass by his grave will marvel at the beauty of that flower and that the flower represents the freedom that he fought and died for.


The song "Bella ciao" is a traditional Italian protest song with roots that can be traced back to the late 19th century. It was originally sung by rice field workers when they went on strike to demand better working conditions. The song has since been used in many different contexts, most notably during World War II when it became an anthem of the Italian Resistance against Nazi occupation of Italy.
