83. Bella ciao (Traduzione in swahili)
E te toa ranginamu [1]
tau pūmau ngaro kau
ki te pae o riri e
kia matāra rawa koe
ka eke ki te pakanga e

E hine kahurangi tiaki
i taku tungāne ka tū
ki te pae o riri e
ōna karu, mene maimoa
hoki mai ki te wā kāinga

E te matua, koia tō tama,
toa tauā pāheke
ki te pae o riri e
manākihia inā ka mate
māu e tāpuke ki te whenua

E te kōkara, tangihia,
kua hinga te tama
ki te pae o riri e
He raukura mō tana rua
hei tohu toa ki te marea

E te hautoa o te iwi
I whawhai rā mō te mana te tika.
Asubuhi moja niliamka
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Asubuhi moja niliamka
Na nilimpata mvamizi.

Oh mshiriki nichukue
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Oh mshiriki nichukue
Kwamba ninahisi kama kufa.

Na kama nitakufa kama mshiriki
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Na kama nitakufa kama mshiriki
Ni lazima mnizike.

Mtanizika hapo juu, juu ya mlima
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Mtanizika hapo juu, juu ya mlima
Chini ya kivuli cha ua la ajabu

Wata wote wanaotembea watasema
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Wata wote wanaotembea watasema:
Ni ua zuri.

[ Huu ni maua ya mshiriki
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Huu ni maua ya mshiriki
Aliyekufa kwa uhuru. ]
[1] Oh handsome soldier,
my sweetheart has left me
for the heat of battle.
Be ever watchful s you fight together
In the depths of war.

Oh lovely sister,
care for my brother
he has gone afar to battle,
his handsome eyes and laughing smile,
we pray for his return home.

Oh beloved father,
take him as your son
ki te pae o riri e
Please protect him, and should he die fighting
return him to Mother Earth

Oh beautiful mother,
weep for this boy who has fallen
when he has gone
adorn his grave with a feather plume,
a symbol of a chiefly traveller from afar

There lies our warrior and the partisan
Who fought and died for freedom's sake.
