From Mitski: So I tried something... I made my own translation of the Italian song "Bella Ciao". I posted it here, but I want to hear your version in your language how you want to make it. Duet or share on Instagram, TikTok, or here on YouTube Shorts using this sound and #BellaCiaoWithMitski so I can see it and share your videos!

My version is inspired by the English version from Tom Waits and Marc Ribot with some help from Google, but I want you to bring your inspiration to it, whatever that might be.

Song start to practice: 1:36

The Chords:

Am, Dm, Em (these can be transposed)

My Translated Lyrics:

On one fine morning, I was awakened

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

One fine morning, I was awakened

To find the fascists at my door

Oh partigiano, take me with you

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

Partigiano, please take me with you

I don’t feel frightened anymore

And if I die here, oh partigiano

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

If I die here in the resistance

Then please lay me in my grave

Upon the mountain, among the flowers

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

Upon the mountain, among the flowers

Oh let me rest among the brave

Then some day people will see the flowers

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

People passing will see the flowers

And say how beautifully they bloom

These are the flowers of partigiano

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

See the flowers of partigiano

Who fought for freedom to their tomb

These are the flowers of partigiano

Oh see how beautifully they bloom
