This is so european, an Italian song played in France by a Serbo-Croat born in Bosnia (Yugoslavia) with a Balkan orchestra in a gypsy style.

Historical context ; "Bella ciao" was sung by the anti-fascist resistance movement active in Italy between 1943 and 1945. The author of the original music is unknown ; the music and spirit of the song is based on a folk song sung by rice-weeders on the River Po basin in the early part of the 20th century – "Alla mattina appena alzata". A version of this song was recorded for music researchers by Italian folk singer Giovanna Daffini in 1962. Other similar versions of the antecedents of "Bella ciao" appeared over the years, indicating that "Alla mattina appena alzata" must have been composed in the latter half of the 19th century. The earliest written version is dated 1906 and comes from near Vercelli, Piedmont.

Here is the translation :

One morning I woke up

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

One morning I woke up

And I found the invader

Oh partisan, carry me away,

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

Oh partisan, carry me away,

For I feel I'm dying

And if I die as a partisan

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

And if I die as a partisan

You have to bury me

But bury me up in the mountain

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,

But bury me up in the mountain

Under the shadow of a beautiful flower

And the people who will pass by

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,

And the people who will pass by

Will say to me: "what a beautiful flower"

This is the flower of the partisan

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

This is the flower of the partisan

Who died for freedom
