kerran kerran
näin laulu kertoo
oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
ihmisen ahneuden näytös alkoi viimeinen

mä mukaan jouduin kun kutsun kuulin
oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
elämämme me jouduimme

puolesta toisten uhraamaan

kaukaa näin taas valon hohteen
oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
ja huusin: elämän tiesin loppuvan näin, maailmaan palavaan

mä polton tunsin ja maahan vaivuin
oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
lopullisen hiljaisuuden
toi tullessaan valon pimeyden

näin päättyy taisto - jäi vain nauru
oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao

vapauden, ihmisyyden, puolesta se soitto käy
vapauden, ihmisyyden, puolesta se soitto käy

They mention a glimmer of hope in the distance, only to fall victim to the destruction and darkness that came with the struggle. The song ends with a message of laughter in the face of a lost battle, and the idea that the fight for freedom and humanity must continue.

The lyrics of "Bella Ciao" have been interpreted in various ways since the song's creation in the late 19th century. Historically, the song originated as a protest against harsh working conditions in Northern Italy, and was later adopted as an anthem of resistance during WWII by Italian partisans fighting against fascism. However, the song has been repurposed and reimagined around the world as a call to action for a variety of social and political causes.

This is what the song tells

oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
Oh beautiful goodbye, beautiful goodbye, beautiful goodbye, bye bye bye

ihmisen ahneuden näytös alkoi viimeinen
The final act of human greed began

mä mukaan jouduin kun kutsun kuulin
I got involved when I heard the call

elämämme me jouduimme
Our lives were at stake

puolesta toisten uhraamaan
Sacrificing for the sake of others

kaukaa näin taas valon hohteen
From afar, I saw a glimmer of light

ja huusin: elämän tiesin loppuvan näin, maailmaan palavaan
And I shouted: I knew life would end like this, in a burning world

mä polton tunsin ja maahan vaivuin
I felt the burning and fell to the ground

lopullisen hiljaisuuden
In the final silence
