The song is about the uprising in Primorska, now the Western region of Slovenia, which was occupied by fascist Italy for 20 years. It is now considered the unofficial anthem of the region, and people often stand up while it's performed.

La nuova versione di Roger Waters da The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux (2023)
A cinquant'anni di distanza dalla pubblicazione del capolavoro dei Pink Floyd Roger Waters pubblica una reinterpretazione dell'intero album, a voler rivendicare il suo ruolo fondamentale di scrittura all'interno del gruppo. Un'operazione che non gli ha risparmiato diverse critiche. Chiaramente era difficile confrontarsi con l'originale e rifare le canzoni senza la chitarra e la voce di David Gilmour.
Nella nuova versione una strofa è completamente riscritta e tutto è inframezzato da alcuni pezzi recitati.

I translated Iranian singer-songwriter Shervin Hajipour’s hit song “Baraye” to English. Being American-born myself but raised by Iranians parents who left during the revolution, I purposely made it my own to reflect my experiences as an Iranian born outside of Iran and never having been to Iran. I do encourage everyone to listen to the original, but this is the point of covers: all songs belong to all the people

Translator’s note.In translating this song for English speakers, I warn the English reader that the original lyrics are literally full of quotations (and self-quotations), as well as references to historical events and Italian idiomatic expressions that are not always easy to be adequately translated into English. References to historical events are generally expressed through direct links pointing to site songs that talk about them (often provided with English translations); but there are also specific notes explaining idiomatic expressions and other points that could be difficult to understand for those who are not fully at home in the sad history of Italy in the post-war period up to nowadays.

Riposa Soldato
Das Lied entstand 2016 als Beitrag zum Singspiel "Don Camillo in St. Gallen" des Rorschachers Santa Cecilia Chores (Schweiz) unter der Leitung des Liedautors. Es begleitet die Beerdigungsszene von Peppones Neffen, der während einer Friedensmission im Irak-Krieg ums Leben kam. Dabei wird dem glücklosen jungen Soldaten die süße, wenngleich ewige Ruhe gewünscht. Der Text ist inspiriert von "Ellen's Song I" (The Lady of the Lake) von Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832).

Rich Men North of Richmond
La risposta di Billy Bragg
Since I saw that clip of Oliver Anthony singing his song 'Rich Men North of Richmond', the ghost of Woody Guthrie has been whispering in my ear. "Help that guy out" Woody keeps telling me "Let him know there's a way to deal with those problems he's singing about". So today I sat down and wrote this response to Mr Anthony's song, for people like him and people like you.

Riposa Soldato
The song was written in 2016 as a contribution to the musical recital "Don Camillo in San Gallo" by the Corale Santa Cecilia di Rorschach (Switzerland) directed by the author of the song. It accompanies the funeral scene of Peppone's nephew who fell during a peacekeeping mission in the Iraq war. In fact, the passage finally hopes for a sweet, albeit eternal, rest for the unfortunate young soldier. The text is inspired by "Ellen's Song I" (The Lady of the Lake) by Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832).

2e/sexies. English translation of the "Alba feminine version", by Riccardo Venturi 11.8.2023
I was evacuated to Alba together with my family. 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:

Note. Though made in a (rather moderate) “old ballad style”, the language used is not specially old-fashioned, except a couple of typical ballad terms (an old ballad cannot go without a “fair maiden”). The song is accompanied with a beautiful, though rather curious video where a Russian sings superposing himself over Malicorne’s original version.
