Bella ciao [English translation]

In the morning I got up

oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

In the morning I got up

To the paddy rice fields, I have to go.

And between insects and mosquitoes

oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

and between insects and mosquitoes

a hard work I have to work.

The boss is standing with his cane

oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

the boss is standing with his cane

and we work with our backs curved.

Oh my god, what a torment

oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

oh my god, what a torment

as I call you every morning.

And every hour that we pass here

oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

and every hour that we pass here

we lose our youth.

But the day will come when us all

oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

but the day will come when us all

will work in freedom.
