4l. Bella ciao (Versione inglese dei Workers' United Front)
BABY BYE

On one fine morning, I awaken
Oh baby bye, baby bye, baby bye, bye, bye
On one fine morning, I awaken
And find invaders nearby.

Hey freedom-fighter, take me with you
Oh baby bye, baby bye, baby bye, bye, bye
Hey freedom-fighter, take me with you
Because I feel that soon I'll die.

And if I perish as freedom-fighter
Oh baby bye, baby bye, baby bye, bye, bye
And if I perish as freedom-fighter
Please bury me somewhere high.

You bury me up on the mountain
Oh baby bye, baby bye, baby bye, bye, bye
You bury me up on the mountain
Beneath the flowers, gazing at the sky

And all the people passing my grave
Oh baby bye, baby bye, baby bye, bye, bye
And all the people passing my grave
Will see this beauty and will cry.

These are the flowers of freedom-fighter
Oh baby bye, baby bye, baby bye, bye, bye
These are the flowers of freedom-fighter
Who fell so freedom wouldn't die
These are the flowers of freedom-fighter
Who fell so freedom wouldn't die.
One morning when I awakened
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
One morning when I awakened
Well I found fascist all around

Oh partisan please take me with you
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
Oh partisan please take me with you
Because I'd be willing to die

And if I die fighting as a partisan
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
And if I die fighting as a partisan
Promise me you'll bury me

Bury me there, up in the mountains
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
Bury me there, up in the mountains
And shade my grave with a lovely flower

And the people who pass that way
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
And the people who pass that way
Will say, oh look what a lovely flower

Oh that's the flower of the partisan
Oh bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao,
Oh that's the flower of the partisan
Who died for freedom's sake
