Bella ciao
Reece & M.I.K.I Lyrics

The song "Bella Ciao" sung by Reece & M.I.K.I opens with the lyrics, "Una mattina mi son svegliato, O bella ciao bella ciao." The English translation of these lyrics is "One morning I awakened, Oh beautiful, goodbye beautiful goodbye." The song is about a person who wakes up one morning to find an invader or an enemy in their land. The song goes on to describe the people who pass by and admire the beautiful flowers, "E le genti che passeranno, Mi diranno Che bel fior" which translates to "And the people who will pass, Will say to me: What a beautiful flower."

The song "Bella Ciao" originated as an Italian folk song that was sung by rice farmers who worked the fields during the rice planting season. The song was used as a form of protest and encouragement amongst the farmers who faced difficult working conditions. The song was later adapted by the Italian resistance movement during World War II, and was used as a song of defiance against the Nazi occupation of Italy. The song has since been adopted by various social movements as a symbol of protest and solidarity.
