What are the lyrics to the song 'Bella Ciao' when translated from Italian to English?

Answer 1

Beautiful, goodbye!" is a literal English equivalent of the Italian phrase Bella, Ciao! The feminine singular adjective and greeting most famously serve as the title and refrain of a song associated with Italian country defenders and freedom fighters during World War II's resistance years of 1943 to 1945. The lyrics translate from Italian to English as follows:
This morning I woke up -- Stamattina mi sono alzato,
Oh beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! -- o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
This morning I woke up -- Stamattina mi sono alzato
And I found the invader -- E ho trovato l'invasor.

Oh freedom fighter, take me away -- O partigiano portami via
Oh beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! -- o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
Oh freedom fighter, take me away -- O partigiano portami via
How I feel like dying -- Che mi sento di morir.

And if I die as (a) freedom fighter -- E se io muoio da partigiano
Oh beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! -- o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
And if I die as (a) partisan -- E se io muoio da partigiano
You must bury me -- Tu mi devi seppellir.

And bury (me) over there on (the) mountain -- E seppellire lassù in montagna,
Oh beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! -- o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
And bury (me) over there on (the) mountain -- E seppellire lassù in montagna
Under the shade of a beautiful flower -- Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior.

And the people who pass by -- E le genti che passeranno
Oh beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! -- o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
And the people who pass by -- E le genti che passeranno
Will tell me, "Oh what a beautiful flower!" -- Mi diranno o che bel fior.

This is the freedom fighter's flower -- È questo il fiore del partigiano
Oh beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye! Beautiful, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! -- o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
This is the partisan's flower -- È questo il fiore del partigiano
Dead for freedom -- Morto per la libertà.

This is the flower of the partisan -- È questo il fiore del partigiano
Dead for liberty -- Morto per la libertà.

And red was his flag -- Ed era rossa la sua bandiera
like the blood that flowed -- come il sangue che versò.
