My father was a member of “Giustizia e Libertà” (“Justice and Freedom”, a clandestine partisan organization) and used to carry clandestine press from Turin to Alba. In October 1944 I was an eyewitness of the entrance of the partisans into Alba's Cathedral Square. I was an attentive and curious girl, and remember very well that they sang “Fischia il Vento” and also a “feminine version” of Bella Ciao: One morning I woke up - Good bye, good bye, sweetheart, One morning I woke up And the invader was there. O mother, mother, I'm going up to the mountains - Good bye, good bye, sweetheart, O mother, mother, I'm going up to the mountains To take revenge for my true love. My own true love was slain - Good bye, good bye sweetheart My own true love was slain Because he was a partisan. There's a graveyard up there, - Good bye, good bye, sweetheart, There's a graveyard up there, Partisans are buried there. It's the graveyard of the partisans, - Good bye, good bye sweetheart, It's the graveyard of the partisans Who died for liberty. This is what I remember, with deep commotion! |
