Oh partigiano, portami via,
oh beautiful, bye! Bella, take care! Bella, take care, take care, take care!
Oh partigiano, portami via,
che my sit di die.
And if the muuio of the partigiano,
oh beautiful, bye! Bella, take care! Bella, take care, take care, take care!
What if the muoio del partigiano
you my devi seppellir.
My seppellire lassù in montagna,
oh beautiful, bye! Bella, take care! Bella, take care, take care, take care!
My seppellire lassù in montagna,
under the shade of a beautiful background.
And genti che passeranno,
oh beautiful, bye! Bella, take care! Bella, take care, take care, take care!
And the lords passeranno
you will say: “Che bel fior”.

oh beautiful, bye! Bella, take care! Bella, take care, take care, take care!

slain for freedom!

under the shade of a beautiful flower.

oh beautiful goodbye beautiful goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
This is the flower of the partigian
murdered in the name of freedom.
