4i. Bella ciao (Versione bilingue inglese e italiana di James...
Oh we are singing for education
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao,
We are singing for education
And an equal right to learn.

The public sector is for the people
Oh bella..
The public sector is for the people
Not for sale to profiteers.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer,
Oh bella..
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer,
Unnecessary and unfair.

We don’t need Trident, it’s wasting billions,
Oh bella…
We don’t need Trident, it’s wasting billions,
We need health and social care.

They cut the funding, they cut the workers,
Oh bella..
They cut the funding, they cut the workers,
Ain’t no ‘Big Society’!
Una mattina mi son svegliato
O bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
One early morning as I awakened
I saw those bastards at my front door

O partigiano, portami via
O bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Oh freedom fighter, please take me with you
For I will fight and I’m prepared to die

E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
If I should die there, fighting for freedom
Then you must bury me where I fall

E seppellire lassù in montagna
O bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Oh, bury me there high in the mountains
Beneath the shadow of a beautiful flower

E le genti che passeranno
O bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
And all the people who will pass by me
They will remark “What a beautiful flower!”

È il fiore del partigiano
O bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
It is the flower, the flower of freedom
And I will fight and die so it can bloom
